I realize you have left me mentally and physically exhausted and thus, crippled, in my literary schemes. For this, and maybe a few other reasons too, I resent you. I have gone through many ups and downs in the last two years and I see my future filled with the same amount of excitement I've lived through before. I'm also terrified of any endeavors I have planned within your realms, susceptible to your whims and fancies.
And such, seeing as you have followed the footsteps of your predecessors, I want to remind you that you have collectively failed to reduce me. And, to prove my point, I leave you with two of my published written works, available to all my dearest readers here.

All my love to my loyal readers, who still message me requesting more of my ramblings. To you, I promise literary ceaseessness. To the newfound travelers who have more recently encountered said ramblings, welcome, I hope you'll forgive my lack of consistency. Life has taken advantage of a busy schedule, which I hope one day will be no more than a distant remembrance.
Here, if you will allow me, I reiterate two important facts. Ab initio, my work is fictional. Though some interpretation, inspiration, understanding of my world seeps through, don't glide through unrealistic reality. And finem suum, I keep edited copies of my work to myself. To the world (on this blog), I present developed versions of the rough drafts, which I believe display the transparency behind the process, and the reason behind some rough grammatical readings at times. However, my disclaimer to this latter explanation resides in the characterization of my work as that of abstract nature, which is not meant to be confused with ungrammatical, as some have kindly pointed out to me before.
And so, with this gentle reminder of my existence, I retreat once more to the person behind the screen, with only the following to end my note to you:
More to come...
Esther Alós-Ordiales
