Mama'spiration 03 - King Kong
As promised on the last Inspiration Post I’m here today to talk about my favorite movie of all time:
Merian C. Cooper & Ernest B. Schoedsack’s King Kong
King Kong is my favorite version of the Tristan and Isolde Myth. Simply because I’m Kong.

Rosemary Diaries - Day 11
It’s the 11th day of this daunting task.
After a couple of sleepless nights (YAY TO LONG WEEKENDS), part one of the book is almost done. I’ve rearranged a lot of stuff on the past days and rewrote some stuff from previous chapters.
I usually don’t do rewrites like this, in my screenplays and short stories I usually vomit a first draft up and then, and only then, I rewrite...

Mama'spiration 02 - The Invention of Hugo Cabret
I was going to save this one for later, as this book is a HUGE inspiration for the Rosemary Saga. But with the announcement of Martin Scorsese helming the film version of this amazing story, I had to change my plans and bring this to you now!
Brian Selznick’s The Invention of Hugo Cabret
The Invention of Hugo Cabret is a book that found me, before I had any idea of it’s...

Rosemary Diaries - Day 8
Well yesterday ended up in a little adventure trying to get back home. But as I promised to write a new Diary Entry today. Here I’m with the first even numbered entry.
One of the good things of being stuck in traffic for 4h30 hours is that you can do A LOT of stuff. And so a new chapter was written and some kinks with the previous ones were solved.
As my previous posted quote said, with...

Rosemary Diaries - Day 7
First things first. I just realized that funny enough I’m only posting on odd days. This is creeping me out, so I’ll post tomorrow, just so we can have an even day diary.
Oh well, let’s gets to it, shall we?!
This past two days, of all the days, have been the most productive days so far. On the general I’ve been quite busy and if things were happening as they should, I...

Rosemary Diaries - Day 5
This last couple of days have been slow on the writing side. But not on the development side.
Other parts of this great puzzle are developing fine, thank you for asking.
I’m proud to be working on such a great endeavour.
More collaborators are coming on board and more inspiration is being brought to the table by them. I’m blessed indeed.
Hope you liked the little image tease,...

Rosemary Diaries - Day 3
As Russell would say “Adventure is out there”
An that exactly what happened to me and the book on the last two days.
Even though not a lot of writing has been done, the baby is growing up very fast. Today I met a lovely lady and we decided to work together on the Rosemary Saga (not as catchy as the Twilight Saga I know, but you have to work with what you got…).
Now is to keep...

Rosemary Diaries - Day 1
So today it finally begun.
My six year journey into the world of brazilian folklore and traditional tales has started to come to life. The first chapter of the book is written and the second one should be done sometime tonight.
This first book is a classical love story, but even knowing how it’s gonna end, getting this beginning done is extremely hard. The lovers being apart, setting up...
