Whatever I feel like writing at the time
What I do
I guess I can say I have had children, planted a tree and written a book (partially, at least).
I’m an avid reader, and I guess that led to writing.
I’ve been writing for a long time; I actually started back when blogs and Blogspot were still a thing…

Books
In the worksAs coisas que nunca te contei...
I have a book in the works that sums up my view of the world. I'm writing it to share with my kids when they reach adulthood; depending on how it turns out, parts of it might be shared with a broader audience.
ContributorUma Escola de Todos, Com Todos, Para Todos
I was invited to contribute to this book. You can read my contribution and find the link to the book here.
