I started 32 armed uprisings but lost every one. Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.

I love to write stories and diary entries. I write stories about love. I also like to draw happy animals. One of my favourite poems I wrote is about sunset.

Creative, intelligent writer
