Works in progress

Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog. I'm still trying to improve a bit everywhere here and on social media, but don't think you're seeing professional pages or social media, because I've never been interested in the shop windows, but what's inside, that's what interests me. I've never been one for the stage, one who gets noticed, one for the front row.🫣 Only when I was at school, after a few days, was I always at the desk next to the teacher's desk.😋 When I talk about the novel, I don't know if I've already told you the title; anyway I'll tell you: it's "Extraordinarily Parallel Lives". I know, it's quite long, but I liked the title like that. But what did you think, you idiots?😁 I was saying, when I talk about the novel or the stories, I'm serious, also because I care a lot about them. But, as you've seen a few lines above, a joke or a playful remark can slip out, 🤓 because life, when possible, should be taken a little lightly. Even in the novel, there are passages with ironic phrases to bring a slight smile, also because real life doesn't look at anyone's face, 😔 it never stops. Whatever happens, it continues its inexorable march, and so we can only allow ourselves to catch our breath for a moment and then, head held high, chest out and shoulders straight, and once again on the path of life. Now I want to tell you another anecdote, this time about me and not the novel. Oh, yes, I forgot: the title is "Extraordinarily Parallel Lives". As I was saying, the last year for me hasn't been one of the best for various reasons, obviously except for the self-publishing of the novel, but I already told you the title. I'm kidding, smile. 😄 So, I was saying, a couple of months ago I was at home around 8 pm. I was also quite serious because I had had another bad day and I thought: "But today I laughed." While I was thinking this, that smile I didn't remember having appeared on my face. For me, a laugh or a smile is my fuel for life. Do you see that the word "lives" in the title can mean much more than it seems? So, as I said at the beginning of the post, when I can I try to tidy up the blog page a bit better. However, even like this, I think it's quite readable. Even if someone were to subscribe to the blog, the reply email could end up in spam; but I'm working on that too. You'll see, the sender is Paolo and the email is informazioni@paololenzi.com. Speaking of information, I remind you that the judging of the first phase of the literary prize for which I entered my novel will take place from February 10th to March 31st, 2026, and that will also be another small step forward. (I already told you about the prize in the post "Family and Love." ) I think it's time to say goodbye and see you in the next post. Bye bye. 🤗
