feisty mind

Between reality and imagination, I am many things: an aspiring author, a mother, a sportswoman, an ambitious corporate professional. This is not a perfectly curated life — it’s messy (and I hope you enjoy it) — because some of us weren’t built for still waters.

Here is where I lay it all down: the questions that haunt me, the quiet truths that won’t let go, the books that change me, the words that keep me awake at night, and the worlds I long to live in.

Feisty mind. Restless soul. Always moving toward the next chapter.

  • Vices of choice

    The day I stopped reading fantasy, I started drinking. There was no smooth transition from one to the other, just strangely realise. – “Why do you drink?” – He asked. A he that I do not really know the name anymore, if I must be honest. He is friend of a friend, I think. The

  • Characters

    I am currently building characters. Seems like a necessary requirement for writing any good book. Although, to be honest I did not study for this, so have no clue how it is done*. But common sense (my dearest old friend) tells me that you need deep, dense characters that you can relate with. The thing

  • Go go go

    Did not write yesterday. It was a conscious choice to read for 3h until pass I out exhausted of so many adventures. I like to read, more than that, I need to read. When the reality tries to cripple in my bones and drag me down. Read allows me to escape, live other lives, experiment

  • Currently reading

    When the Moon Hatched: A Novel by Sarah A. Parker At 36% in the book, I am reaching that point when I cannot put the book down. Which is going to be an issue for the next couple of days, since I aim to sleep at least 7h a night! They say it’s important, mental

  • No half ways

    I, indeed, don’t know how to do things half way. So in two week since I told myself I would do it, there’s a full plan going on for this book. I am living and breathing my characters, listening to podcasts, checking Instagram pages, searching for book conventions… and my ideas are driving faster than

  • Writing Excuses

    What do you do to go from an idea to a book? If you are anything like me it’s easy to spend years procrastinating. Then a few more dedicating yourself to “real life”, getting a grip because it will never pay the bills. Then you pick up a book again in 7 years, an actual

  • New beginnings

    This space started in 2016 with my desperate need to write in English. You see, my mother tongue is Portuguese. However, 10 years ago, I left sunny Lisbon and filled my days with Amsterdam clouds. Not daring to learn proper Dutch, my days are filled with English. I breathe and live in this language that,

  • I’m Pipa Seabra — an aspiring author in the magical process of writing my debut book. By day, I navigate the fast-paced world of corporate banking while raising two young children. By night (and every stolen moment in between), I live for my creative side, immersed in words — my own and those of others.
