Can I take a moment to introduce myself?
I’m 46 years old, born and raised in Italy, but I’ve come to think of myself more as a European citizen than just an Italian one—which is why I no longer live in Italy.
I currently run a business that’s not at all related to writing, and I’m indeed cheery with it.
I love my work, find it fulfilling, and it rewards me far beyond what I put into it. By all accounts, I could sit back and enjoy the ride.
But there’s something else that has a hold on me—a passion for writing.
In the past, I’ve self-published a few books related to my professional field and a couple of crime novels under a pen name.
The more I wrote, the clearer it became to me that writing is something I want—no, need—to dedicate more of my time to.
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”

Here’s the thing: I’m not here to offer you any “secrets” or “bulletproof strategies” for becoming a bestselling author raking in six or seven figures.
The truth is, I’m still figuring this all out myself.
That’s why I’ve started The Clueless Writer’s Chronicles—a space where I can share the ups, downs, and everything in between as I navigate this writing journey.
I’m inviting you to join me on this path, not as an expert, but as a fellow traveller.
I hope you’ll find value in the reflections and lessons I share, and that together, we can make this writing adventure a little less lonely, a little more exciting, and maybe even a little bit easier.
I believe that writing is a journey best travelled together, and I hope that by sharing my experiences, we can inspire one another and foster a community of aspiring writers.
So, grab your pens and notebooks, and let’s explore the world of writing side by side. Here’s to new beginnings and the adventures that lie ahead!
