Dear friend,

As I have relayed to you in the past letter, today I did my first scribbles and deliberations on my most recent work.

As always, the feeling of the beginning of a new project fills me with hope for the future. I know that this feeling will go away sooner than I desire,

like the cold vanishes when you leave your house and go under the sunlight. But I can't deprive myself of this warm, cozy feeling of a brighter future.

The main character, his circumstances and his voice are already very clear to me. Sometimes while I'm writing, its almost as if I could feel him walking beside me,

narrating with a firm and paced voice the things he wants me to write about.

For the next few month's he's going to be like my dearest friend, who will whisper to me something new that he just remembered, maybe about his adventures, but always things that certainly deserve my attention - to be honest, a great part of the stuff he's saying aren't that interesting but some of it are me of gold that's why you have to hear everything.

As my current job (the one that pays the bills) take a great part of my day, I have a few hours left to dedicate myself to other crafts that I wish to improve, and it has been quite a while since the last time I took a pencil and paper to scribble on, besides, I have been surrounded by art books and reference books and they have done little to encourage me into getting anything done.

To be honest, this doesn't bother me too much as I'm going to start taking some painting and drawing lessons offered in an atelier nearby. That will be of great help for sure! Since I will have the necessary guidance to develop my skills with a little bit less effort.

It's always easier to walk through others people's paths.

If the visit to the atelier produces a result, and I hope it will, I will send you a copy of my work together with the next letter.

The days are becoming even colder and they should be like this for a while before it gets warm again, but inside my head, the ideas are boiling!
