Here is the situation:
When I create stories I create them orally. I bother others with ideas and fragments, I talk about them, I dream them until I feel they are made to meet an audience. They continue evoloving, even if I tell them for years. The point is - I never write down my stories.

Its 4:37 am. For some reason I cannot sleep. A question has been grazing my mind for the past few hours, for the past few years. “Limor, why do you always seem to find your way to early stories, to characters whose features have faded? Why don’t you live in the here and now?” This [...]

It might seem that I’m over reacting to the event. I’m very excited, that’s for sure. The reason: the event takes place in a large cultural center and is the first of it’s kind over here. The professionals at the MediaTheque are really devoted to the idea of making it happen. It’s a kind of [...]
