Dear community,
I am presenting my application to be a Community Builder, as advertised in the latest Newsletter of The Ink Well
I would like to express my interest in becoming another pair of hands in building our beloved community.

I love storytelling.
I believe that everything in life is a story.
There are so many stories to be told.
And so many storytellers that have not been heard. So many ways to tell a story…
Fortunately, there is a place for storytellers to be heard here on Hive, a place where everyone can fit; a place to build our talents.
We are given this space where we can be freely creative to produce our own stories. There are so many talented people on Hive, that one may think that everything is possible.
I understand that the role of a Community Builder is designed to act within the community itself, but I believe that If all communities get together and work towards the same goal, we would witness amazing results. I'm referring to every field, area of expertise and holders, sort of speak, of the right tools and knowledge to do it.
One of the great things about Literature is that it can be perfectly combined with other kinds of Art. I will refer especially to audiovisual projects; to the fields I believe can work in collaboration, such as writing, drawing, painting, digital art, and other forms of illustration; music, photography, filmmaking and gaming.

I tend to include definitions in my publications, perhaps because of my career as a Translator and Interpreter. It is the way I understand the world, especially this platform where almost everything is new to me.
So let me introduce the basic concept of Art, according to the Oxford dictionary.
The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.
I would say that in Hive we are all artists if we see each community as like-minded people who express or apply human creative skills and imagination to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.
As I understand, one of the purposes of a Community Builder is to promote engagement. This brings me to another important concept, communication, which is:
the activity or process of expressing ideas and feelings or of giving people information
(Oxford Dictionary)
I would say then that We are all communicators.
Through Art we let people know about our thoughts, feelings and ultimately our message to the world, whatever it may be.

If we were to apply these two basic concepts to Hive members, I would say that we are all Storytellers:
Writing
Through words, writers create beauty in the form of short stories, poems, novels, among others;
The Ink Well is now providing us with an unique opportunity to tell our story to the outside world and we should take it to the fullest.
Music / Audiovisual Arts
Music is well known to be a source for inspiration and communication. I am no expert in this field but I am definitely a music lover, especially of audiovisual productions, because I am a fan of movies, theater and TV series.
Since there is a story behind every song, imagine writers working with musicians, composing songs together!
Audiobooks
Audiobooks are incredible tools.
Allow me to tell you a bit about a condition I have. It is called Keratoconus, where the cornea becomes thin and causes a serious astigmatism. I am currently waiting to have an eye surgery but given the quarantine, surgery has been suspended.
Thank God I have been able to get better just by resting my eyes from the rigid lenses I was prescribed years ago. They were hurting my eyes, so doctors forbade me to use them.
It has been almost a year working without lenses, which is why I understand the value of audiobooks more than ever before, and I discovered their charm. I think it would be a good idea to work towards that goal.
In fact, I have been in touch with Leonardo Castillo (

Filmmaking
I have to confess that one of my platonic dreams is to participate in the production of a movie. Can you imagine that in The Ink Well, Hive? Is it too platonic?
Hive is full of experts in audiovisual arts. Plus all the tools available like 3Speak or Dtube, combine that with short stories and...magic!
Gaming
Another way to read a story is by playing it. Other fellow members and programmers in the gaming community have a lot to share and are skilled to make magic happen. Imagine a game based on a story written by our Hive writers.
I know a couple of writers who are working on epic stories. If Splinterland was possible, this can be.
Illustration / Photography
A picture is worth 1000 words, but 1000 words have the potential to be a great story. Let's combine these two!

Why do I want to become a Community Builder?
Well, I love to build 👷♀️🥰
And work with people who have the same enthusiasm, and love to produce beautiful things.
I would love to put in practice these ideas and those of other members that I know are eager to grow as professionals and make this platform grow.
I became a fan of The Ink Well and the Freewriters communities since I started writing in their space, because I was encouraged to write and received great feedback.
I have found myself as a writer. I became aware of my talents and put them into
practice, and I feel motivated to help others do the same; to see them shine
I would like to close by thanking 
I'm sure you are thinking of other ways to engage and work within and outside the community. You are more than welcome to share your ideas in the comments. .
And regardless of the outcomes, writers can count on my help in the creation of their Bookstore📚
