Our presentation for Barcamp Mumbai #11. I wrote a book for a collaborative writing competition with a friend. And by book, I mean 20000 words in 6 days. Here, we present our approach to writing with these constraints. The slides are rather minimal and here are the 7 habits. 1. Begin at the beginning. Get off your asses and start writing. 2. Know how you are going to End and work towards it. 3. Prioritize. Pick your story/plot points. Also ignore the internet for a while. 4. Plan. This usually doesn't work. 5. Partner. Know the person you are writing with. But not too well. 6. Accomodate. Your partner's views. Accept that, you are not always right. 7. Let It Go. Once you are done, forget about it. "If you wrote something, set it free.. if it gets published take credit else burn all copies."

Muerte en el desvan 2012 13
Este poema explora temas como la muerte, la soledad y la búsqueda de la verdad interior. A través de 14 poemas cortos, el autor describe escenas de dolor, pérdida y anhelo, así como reflexiones sobre la fragilidad de la vida y lo efímero de la existencia humana. Los poemas utilizan imágenes de flores, vientos, labios y miradas para evocar sensaciones y sentimientos. Un mensaje principal es la dificultad de conocer el alma propia y la de los demás.
Telling Time
This document provides instructions for a game that teaches students to tell time to the hour and half hour. It includes objectives, background information, how to play, references and credits. The game involves identifying the time shown on various clock faces and scoring points for correct answers within a certain number of tries.
Future plans, intentions and arragements
The document discusses uses of different verb tenses and structures to talk about future plans, intentions, and arrangements. It provides examples of using the present progressive to describe definitive plans ("I'm meeting some friends on Saturday") and "going to" to emphasize intentions rather than fixed plans ("I am going to try that new salsa club"). It also notes that the simple present is used for scheduled events ("The flight leaves very early in the morning").
Expressing intention

As shared in “When your Relationships are Good, your Life is Good”, an intention is a clear and positive statement of an outcome you want to experience.
