Over the Moon

May 8th 2011 10:25
Book Fio da Meada at Amazon
Fio da Meada by Tania Crivellenti


I feel "Over the Moon" with the release of my first book in an electronic format at Amazon.com.
It is a very big deal for me, although, people that have done the same could say it is easy, anyone can write a book and upload it to be sold at Amazon. It isn't hard.
But the journey to have a book with a quality you feel is marketable is not so simple. It was a great adventure but a lot of work too.
It has been years and years I have been moving in this direction, doing things in order to get here. I feel I deserve to be proud of myself, I have risked a lot, migrated, worked very hard, pursued never thought of avenues (such as doing a pastry course), to get to this point.
My expectations are only to change the world through my writing... do you think it is too huge a dream? Well, I believe in huge dreams and small miracles.

Multicultural views

Roaming the Earth and Writing About It

If I had to say my writing has a target it would be Brazilians living abroad, out of Brazil I mean. A secondary target: people interested in the Brazilian Culture. Third target would be any migrant, anywhere.
My writing seems to be thoughtfully coloured by my experiences of having migrated, my multicultural views.
I have just created a new place to outpour my thoughts in this regard:
www.taniacreations.com
One of the ideas I had for this website was to walk Sydney’s beaches and write about each walk. What is pertinent to say here is that my writing is not about the walk itself but my thoughts during it and especially making links to things I remember from when I just arrived here, the differences between my life walking Brazilian beaches and life as I experience here and now.
As for the folly part of the story: I am investing in my writing and until my books are being sold I am choosing the life of my dreams instead of my savings! I’m sure one will catch up with the other soon, just hope my family can bear the thought of me writing full time for a bit longer (without sending the people with the white coats).
It has been last week that I woke up one day and thought: If I die now I have not one little regret left in me! There was a time I lived for “the future happiness”, that one where you are always waiting for something in order to be happy. Not anymore. If the Mayans are right and 2012 is the end all I would say is: O.K.
I hope you enjoy the website. I am enjoying the writing of it immensely!

To be brave enough to write...

December 16th 2009 04:00
Crowd in Sydney Harbour

and more incomprehensible Australia...
Here I turn to the “masters” and to me they are the writers of this genre in Brazil: Mario Prata (my personal master), Luiz Fernando Veríssimo, Arnaldo Jabor, among so many others

Incomprehensible Australia

I love this Aussie Land, especially Sydney that is now my home. I’m very glad to be a new Australian Citizen. Although I have multiplied my Brazilian love to include my new nation there are some things around here that do not make any sense to me

My Father s Secrets

Dad, me and Mom
Dad, me and Mom

- Come on! Smash it again! Harder!
This is what my father heard when he arrived at his new fraternity house, where he was going to live while studying for his bachelor. He went to the backyard to find four blokes trying to get the pasta out of the pressure cooker after leaving it cooking for a long time

It is time for the June Parties

June 12th 2009 01:43
june parties bracca

Time to meet friends, try delicious food, enjoy the colours and atmosphere.
The “Festa Juninas” are folk celebrations that take place everywhere in Brazil, from parties that engage whole cities to small family parties. They happen through the month of June in comemoration of the saints’ days: St John, St Peter and St Paul. They are about dancing, dressing in funny folk costumes, eating delicious food, drinks to warm up the heart and a lot of excitement

Whatever ceis want! (Engilsh)

June 12th 2009 01:41
view from the plane

To be bilingual is an adventure; trilingual and multilingual must be even better.
It is common to hear Brazilians that live in Australia for some time complain that their English is not getting any better and the Portuguese is getting worse all the time. It’s inevitable to start creating mixtures of both languages

The Gift for Mum

April 17th 2009 02:29
Family in Ilawara Fly

Most of us, BraCCA News’ readers, have our mums overseas. I keep imagining that here, this being such a new country with so many immigrants, there are not as many older mums around.
That is why I am giving some gifts ideas to send. Far away moms love to see the daughters and sons more than anything else. So sending a DVD (in a proper format that she will be able to see) is a hit. Whatever you say or do is not important, she will love it anyway
