All the tools I've used to help me write:
- A notebook (or, 10, so I have a different one for each story I start).
- An AlphaSmart for just typing away.
- A Kindle Scribe. LOVE. Also for brainstorming/free-writing.
- A Chromebook. Try to avoid. Too distracting. Necessary.

Potential book cover ideas for "A Cafe in Antas"
Or, should we go with a pastel de nata?...
(AI generated)
By the way, the book is a twist from my own experience living in Porto for two years...had I been 10 years younger...
The streets I'm describing? All real.
The waiter? Yes, he's real, too.

Clara moves to Porto with dreams of a slower life and an EU passport. But, she's quickly disillusioned, the city gentrifying before her eyes. But, in a small café in Antas, she meets Tomás, a waiter who embodies the version of the charming city she had hoped to discover. #Questpit #Q #W #A #R

Tomás has worked at the same café in Antas, Porto, for decades, always serving and serenading the same patrons with his soprano voice. But today, there’s an unfamiliar girl by the window. Her accent as she orders a "café com leite" catches him off guard. An expat? Here? #QuestPit #Q #W #A #R

Porto is changing—expats flood in, locals push back. Clara moves for a fresh start but finds only tourists and a city losing its charm. Then she stumbles into a quiet café in Antas, where nostalgia lingers and an intriguing waiter, Tomás, lure her in. But, does she belong? #QuestPit #Q #W #A #R
