Enquanto minha esposa, filha e nossos dois cães estavam no sul do Brasil. Enquanto minha Kombi esperava em Cabedelo para retomarmos a estrada. Enquanto eu lembrava que, no fundo, sou escritor.* --- ## ✍️ Hoje escrevo porque… até uma cerveja me lembrou quem eu sou. Estava ali, parado no aeroporto, cansado da espera e da saudade. Peguei uma cerveja sem pensar muito, só pra passar o tempo. Mas a cerveja não era qualquer uma. Era uma **Space Dust IPA**. O rótulo brilhava. Um ser feito de lúpulo soprava uma poeira cósmica. E ali, escrito na lata, lia-se: > **“Trust the Dust.”** **Confie na poeira.** E foi exatamente isso que eu fiz. --- ## 🌌 De volta a 1991 Quando eu tinha 7 anos, em Blumenau, recebi um papel com uma pergunta simples: > “O que você quer ser quando crescer?” Lembro do cheiro da casa. Lembro da minha m...

  How Fiction Helps Me Understand the Truths of Life I have always loved reading fiction, especially novels that explore the complexities of human nature, culture, and history. Fiction is not just a form of entertainment for me, but a way to learn more about myself and the world around me. As Amy Tan, one of my favorite authors, said in her Masterclass, “Fiction is the best way to understand the truths of life”. I have also been writing fiction for a long time, using my own thoughts, memories, and imagination as the raw materials for my stories.

Some of these experiences are too painful or difficult to talk about, but I can use them as inspiration for ...
