Let me get started.

O.K... Never thought I would expose myself that way. But I decided, after some emotional ups and downs, I should begin to express whatever fills my mind. I am a dreamy person, and this has caused many problems. The only real relief I've had in relation to the crazy ideas that I have, was starting to write a diary that eventually, for security reasons, became something no longer about me, but a fictional story of a world far away from mine. I was a pre-teen when I started. Over time, I developed the capability of writing (though not so sure of being so good), and the stories, previously written to ease the burden I felt, somehow began to entertain a few friends of mine, whom I gave access to the diaries. That's how I started. 


So, this world was getting bigger, and some of my friends suggested that I start taking my writting play a little more seriously. Who knows if one day I could even publish a book? I do not know if I'm that good. But I would rather have other people, strangers, reading my stories, getting involved and having fun with them. So I decided to create this space. And I sincerely hope that other amateur writers, like me, cheer up, and get out of the ostracism, sharing their words here without any fear.

Much of my stories have the same background, so to speak. They are chronics and tales from real life (more or less), novels about possible people. And all stories have one thing in common: a character who knows all, and observes all. At first it was a diary about her life, which ended up involving some other characters. But like all stories about real life, this was becoming increasingly complex, and today there is a parade of personalities.

To make it easier to visualize places and people and personalities, I was adding context to real people. Based on the physical, and often intellectual of famous people, whose pictures were everywhere, and the interviews were plentiful. Some of the time you recognize the face caricatured right away. Other times you will find that I used a shell and wrotte a whole new universe for someone who is already there 'in real life'. I liked it when, on the internet, somebody invented a term for it: fanfic.


My neverending novel is called 'The Honey Diaries'. And there is a lot of 'books' inside of it. The stories have a central point and the 'books' are named after it. So, there will be different shades and different centers to the chronicles, but they respect some chronology and you will get it in a short time. 

I have other stories. But I like to concentrate my efforts on the 'novel' that started it all. Here in this blog you will have access to many of the chapters in this diary, and my other inventions, eventually.

That's it for now. This is what I wanted you to know, so that you can understand the rest. Please keep in touch, talk, discuss, give me some feedback. We have a Facebook for that. And make this home yours too. 







With love,
Sarah Bogus
