Not to mention I've been secretly waiting for a surprise signed copy in the mail. Unacceptable! .. I don't understand Portuguese. I think your writing is superb and estimable. Shit I thought it was a known fact amongst the TA community that you were great at what you do. You have my full support. I think you should go for it. PS: You're welcome, I merely give credit where credit is due.

Thanks, honestly

All right, if I do write a sample of the first chapter in English, will you guys tell me whether I'm butchering your language? I'm sure there are going to be lots of mistakes (I tend to mix up most prepositions), but if it isn't annoying to read, then I guess an editor can take care of that

I don't know if my opinion matters much, though. English is not my first language, not even the second. But I'd be happy to help in any way I can.

Originally posted by Enigmatik By the way Lira, your story was well-written and painfully beautiful. I enjoyed reading it, albeit being loaded with sadness and tragedy, but beautiful nevertheless. Thanks for that.

+1, very well written Lira

The story is heartbreaking

I'd totally wear that for hipsterish irony purposes

I talk like that when I'm drunk, I think it's appropriate. I'd wear it.
