Make a promise and feel a geek

Suddenly all my world consists of a screen, a mail box, Google Docs and translations here and there. Spend all my free time blogging, correcting texts, searching new sources, tagging everything. My home is an unliving messy place full of books, notebooks, pictures, documents printed around the floor, files, several Moleskine(c), PDA agenda , Twitter, and so on.

AND, I still have my own personal Facebook account, my free moments to read books not related to what I blog about, clean the house, do shopping, and those things you have to do when you work but you don’t earn enough to pay someone to do it (and you live alone, at times :D )

Think I have multiple personalities since I’ve started to be part of the blogger community. In fact, that’s how I wanted things to be. Too early to link those works to my personal social media profiles. I don’t want to feel the pressure of how often I post or I don't or if they like it, care about it or think I’m becoming a geek.

On the other side, a friend of mine was involved in a project for years. X had in mind a great site about something that not many people has succeed trying to compile. This year, encouraged by all of us, X started a Blog.

I am helping him to build a very interesting site and, here it goes, I’m the coordinator for translations and I’m writing the great majority of. The best thing is that only a 0,5% (and I don’t lie) is published online!!

This “commitment” literally makes me spend almost the whole time of my schedule working for his site, though I face it as an experience that traines me and makes me feel useful and hopeful.
It’s a great feeling though.
