Jak zacząłem swoją przygodę z pisaniem
Let me tell you a story. Just imagine… Imagine yourself walking in an upscale suburban neighborhood. It’s a late evening. Through the bay window, you can see a well-lit but otherwise darkly furnished room. It looks like an old English library. There is a late-middle-age man sitting in a partially unfolded recliner with his elbows […]
Moje pisanie w nowym roku 2022
Happy 2022 to all. Despite all the surrounding defeatism, I greet 2022 with an unwavering optimism. At my age, I greatly appreciate each of them, and I’m ready to enjoy every one to the fullest. Each one is like a new baby––from the time it comes, you’re convinced it’s going to be the best. Then […]
Nad rzeką Piedra usiadłem i płakałem
By Paulo Coelho I read this passage some years ago. But recently, it brought to me an entirely different meaning.

There are always more critics […]
