Books are some of our best friends and companions for a lifetime. Words of an incorrigible bookworm, no less. But books guide us through a fascinating world of wonder, learning, hope, entertainment, a world available to us all.

There are countless ones who are no longer apprentice writers, but we are all writers’ apprentices forever…

WELCOME! Wherever you are, feel at home here.

The Writers’ Apprentices is an individual blog, just in English, with only two pages. But it’s also an extension of the bigger blog called Aprendizes de Escritores. As I use to say, Writers’ Apprentices and Aprendizes de Escritores are twins, but not identic ones. I created Aprendizes de Escritores in April/2011 and, since then, I’ve been translating it to English to turn it into a bilingual blog. The whole blog has 15 pages, and there are lots of parts there in Portuguese that are already in English too. As I am a translator, I want both blogs to be shared with all people, no matter the language, or the profession. In order to know the whole bilingual blog of 15 pages, if you’d like after you visit here, please click on the link at the pen below. Here, on the Writers’ Apprentices, you’ll find lots of interesting things too, in a pleasant way, such as articles, texts, phrases, comic cards, general comments and tips, etc.

Selfie Fever

Hey, come back! I wanna just your camera to take a selfie.

     We are certainly on the selfie era. Almost everybody takes selfies intending to post them on the social networks. It’s been a long time that self-taken pictures exist, naturally, but the term selfie became more popular in 2012, and now we can say that we’re living in a selfie culture. When people post selfies just for fun, it’s a way of relaxing and sharing good times with friends. The problem is when they just seek approval and worry about how much Likes, or comments they get. The selfie can’t be an obsession, or, as with everything else, too much of them can become tiresome, and may mean a case of low self-esteem, or narcissism. Selfies are here to stay and to be enjoyed with common sense and sense of humor. Have you already posted your selfie today?
