Inmate Crosstalk

We are the inmates of this gorgeous hellhole called Planet Earth. There are laws of nature while we are here and alive. Nobody can escape them. True equality comes with the consequences of each decision we make. Being lost is a mutual feeling. How can we overcome it? Never be afraid. Fear is in the past, and courage should be present. We can never know what (or who) tomorrow might bring. Everything can turn around in a second when real love smiles on your broken heart. Leap of faith I'd like to take if this moment ever comes.

Finding myself was the number one goal of this life. The reality was what I wanted it to be. Bending the truth is what I did to survive the constant torture most people only read - hear - watch a movie about. It became a part of me. I tried to fight it to fit in. Now I know better. This is my superpower. This is the thing that keeps me going. No matter what, no matter who - I'm going forward. I feel it every day. I used to think there's something wrong with me. Now I know what's my speciality. Thank you, spirituality.

Spring brought me down on my knees again. I had to rearrange my deepest thoughts. I need to keep a distance from people and things that break my spirit. My faith is strong. I believe I'm here for a reason. The higher purpose has to be served. I got a talent from god to use it well. I was born to be a healer. I've been through hell and got out. Now I can pull you out if you want. You don't have to walk alone. Need a partner in crime? You know exactly where to find me.

3000 Years of Caffeine Fix

You read that right. My titles are often mixed from at least two things. 1, What would you do with a Djinn who has offered you three wishes in exchange for her/his freedom? George Miller's vision got me wondering. 2, You need a cup of coffee while you brainstorm the three ways to go. Well, technically two because the third is to free the Djinn. 

Death can rewrite the world around you, just like fatal accidents. My Dad passed away last August, and I was thinking about him and our stormy relationship. We were much alike, and as they often say: 'two legends can't coexist'. I don't care what opinions others may have. I knew my Dad from an angle nobody else ever will. I won't have to prove to anyone that I was the closest person to his wicked heart. It's a fact. I miss him because of many reasons: his humor, his intelligence, his challenging personality, his strong will, his rebellious spirit, his courage to dream big, his ability to help others, his endless stories, his adamant voice, and the way only he could love me. In the past, I would wish for him to change for the better version. Now, I'd just wish him back. But I'm sure it had to happen. He got many chances, a full life, and a ticket to the next round. God decided for him.

Anyway, Djinn can not grant 'life or death' matters. Nor endless wishes. Nor immortality. But guess what? I'd never wish for eternal imprisonment. I won't ever envy angels or djinns. (Nor any other dark or light creatures sentenced to endless suffering.) My faith gave me the freedom I needed. I believe that this life is just a blink of an eye compared to the journey we've already been through and still having. I don't know what my two wishes would be. Most people say money (or getting rich), but that's not my answer. True love and living by my calling would be my choices. These are the ones I'm working towards every day. No djinn, no wishes - just coffee. Hard work and faith. 'If it was easy, everyone would do it, right?' Right. I do it.

I'm looking forward to seeing the next chapter (of my life and of 'John Wick'). New training and diet plans began this spring to reach my goal weight and casual good feeling. I had too much going on emotionally the past year & at new year's, so I fell into an unhealthy eating habit. That ended in Dublin, thank God. Keeping the spirit!

Shamrock ☘️💚 Life

The Irish take it easy. No rush, no hush. I can get used to these huge breakfasts and the premium tiny coffee culture. I hope it grows into the every day life. Mornings are the best part of the day: you clearly made it to take another shot, you can still remember some of your naughty-but-nice dreams, and you sense the possibilities of anything you crave. Lovely. Surreal but nice. (Fav 'Notting Hill' quote.)

Dublin has many faces and I'm slowly recognizing each one of them. Public transport is a piece of cake and it can take you anywhere you want to land. Great old & new friends (finest lads in my small life history) showed me a little more with professional and warm insight of the Irish life & backstage of it. I wish Judit & Balazs the best time of their lives to come from now on! They are truly the ones who belong here: hard working, honest, funny, intelligent people.

Everyone knows that I'm a nomad and this nomad loves Éire to no end. This is official. The Celtic Energy got me back on my feet. The groove is on! The quality of life can always be upgraded. Now I'm bringing my body - mind - heart - soul back into balance.

Megan The Stellar

An Open Letter to Megan Roantree

Congratulations on your new role as the editor-in-chief of the blooming magazine, STELLAR. 

Spring is indeed the best time for something new, something magical, something healing, and something lighter. Just like love. Or evolving. And for me, reading this wonder, called Stellar.

I'm delighted to see the articles and the topics you approved. This is my first trip to Dublin, Ireland. I saw your magazine in LIDL and it was literally calling me. The cover is pure perfection and it screams 'the best is yet to come'. Priceless colour choices.

Let's get back to the inside! Enjoyed the news on how our planet earth is doing. Breast cancer is a serious issue and so happy to hear about the vaccine! Darn, I was about to see the 'Hangmen' but schedule turned out otherwise. Martin McDonagh has to be one of the filmmakers I'm going to work with, fingers crossed 🤞!

I'm eager to get to know Niamh Cullen, thanks to you! She sounds so honest and reliable. Spring cleaning is a must! Can't agree more, as it gives my life the 1st real push each year. Daydreaming is a huge part of my job, so thankfully I am allowed to do that. Writer's life. 

As riding through your issue, I feel at complete ease, but still informed and educated on lot of things that matter nowadays in our fast days. Motherhood is one of the most emotional and dividing topics of us, Millennials. It was a great pleasure to read all the stories of these brave Irish women. Thank you all. (Happy Mother's Day)

I fell in love with 'The Banshees of Inisherin' because of the central conflict. How would you tell a friend that it's over? I prefer a less brutal way but no doubt, when it has to go, it goes.

Same ideas on no longer forcing nor chasing love. When it has to happen it is going to. Hands down. The person who has to find you is going to. The One who is the right companion for your journey. It's not always you who has to fit in. (Talking to the ladies here.)

The long and short of it, I'm a new fan of Stellar. And you, Megan. Your view on our role in life is worth hearing out. Keep writing, keep editing, and keep sharing your thoughts and experiences with us. 

your fellow writer,

Kata Varga

Agent Provocateur

I don't like things the way they are. I have this need /not just for speed - respect you, Tom/ for changes. Life is all about evolving. I force people around me to upgrade. You can't stay the same after you have met me. Tested and true. I have a talent for waking up the beast in others. In all the good ways, of course. (Or not so smooth for everybody, but they certainly can not go on untouched.)

It took me quite a while to accept my calling. I don't have to be like the rest of this world. I was born to teach. Not in a school, no. I came here to show you how to navigate between all these dimensions. The multiverse is pure reality. My career brings fairness and protection to others who need my help. It's an exciting life, walking between these wild worlds.

We have to answer questions to understand ourselves. The biggest mistake is to live in silence where nobody's interested in you. We all like to talk about our values, passions, ambitions, patterns, reactions and actions, impacts, and effects. I provoke these things in most people. The way I live my life is extraordinary. And we all know what the answer is to something we want but can't achieve. Fear is one of the strongest emotions. You all need to fight that.

I won't ever be a prisoner again. I let it flow. What comes - I happily welcome. What goes - I say a warm goodbye to.

your soul writer,

Kata The Nomad

Accepts Unsolicited Queries 1.0

This is the next step for me to take. Screenwriting competitions are great - they already gave me international experience. I tried out all of my favorite genres (drama, fantasy, action, comedy) in filmmaking. I know my voice a lot better by now. I'm aware of what the industry is looking for too. It's all beginning to make sense to me. I'm still a rookie (10 years since my first draft at Nicholl), yet finally, I let go of the pressure and enjoyed myself to no end. I was born to be a screenwriter. No more doubts about that.

I'm out there looking for a manager. They say it's the golden ticket to the industry. Gatekeepers, here I am. I have that book of ideas you are willing to die for. Natural-born writer/screenwriter genius ever since I've freed my mind as a kid. My dark materials /veracious stories, and accurate daydreams/ are filled with blinding light because I've seen both sides. I've been there where magic hides.

Screenwriting is an art, but I want to get paid for my incredible imagination and matchless style. I'm that good of a writer to be a full-timer. I'm a professional who never gave up. I've kept writing and writing even when there was no response from anybody industry-wise. I enjoy talking to other creatives and listening to their point of view. I like sharing ideas and collaborating. I am not afraid to ask questions. My experience is that fellow writers love to answer them.

Going to get back on this topic to you when I get some accomplishment. Fingers crossed.

your screenwriter,

Kata The Nomad
