THE NEW CHAPTER (209) OF DGM IS A DREAM COME TRUE O.O Incredible it's been one year since I last updated.

Sorry folks, I've had things to sort out. Not finished yet but I missed writing so here I am again.

If you're still here for my stories I'm happy to tell you I'm now working on chap.18 of Bitter Sweet Tooth. If you aren't here anymore, I understand.

Love you all, love DGM, love life.

Some info about me:

I'm Italian, I'm 27 years old and I'm an archaeologist. I love animals, and I firmly believe that they are better than human beings. I especially love cats and I own 2 female ones, Neko and Cassandra, a tortoise-shell and a polydactil maine coon. They sleep on me while I write my stories and they are able of making me smile even when I'm sad. I also own a water turtle, called Tarù, who has grown from 2cm to 25cm in 5 years! I love staying in bed when rain is pouring outside and chatting on my sofas with friends, holding warm earl grey tea, or some alcoholic drink. Aside from being an archaeologist I'll work hard to become a patissier. Fav hobbies swimming and photograhy.

- Writing is my means of communicating emotions. I cannot draw, nor paint, I cannot play any musical instrument and I'm too shy to sing in public, although I do have a pretty nice voice. For this reason I've always written stories in my life, focusing on the emotions that the characters feel, be them the taste of food, the awe in front of a work of art, the chill of humid wind. I want my readers to feel what the characters are feeling, because in this way they are able to live the story in a more vivid way, be hooked and lead to the ups of happiness, the downs of sorrow or the hotness of sex. I don't particularly care about describing the backgrounds, or clothes, or the visible details unless there is a reason for it.

- The reasons behind my writing style. When I was in high school I used to have surreal dreams (yes, while sleeping) and since I lack imagination, I started to write them down. As you know details are blurry in dreams, what you are experiencing is emotions and sensations, casual colours, fleeting images that move your spirit. I tried hard to write my dreams in a way that would allow the reader to exactly feel what I was feeling during the dream. I guess this intention has imprinted my writing style, and nowadays my stories are focused on making the reader live the story through the main character's eyes, forgetting the distance between reality and fiction. These intentions have caused me to be extremely careful in the choice of words and composition, punctuation and style. Finally, I believe that the "way" in which something is written can make even an ugly story enjoyable, instead a beautiful plot alone cannot make up for lousy writing, ignorant puntcuation or bad choice of words.

- Avatar: I've read the warning that no adult avatar is allowed, so no YAOI avatar... tch... still, this one with my beloved Kanda isn't half bad right? I made it with photoshop but of course, some disclaimer, I didn't make the image, it's a screenshot of the last ending of the anime. The sentence is mine, because I happen to think it at least 3 times every time I see Kanda... But I bet you agree with me :D Please don't re-use it.
