The Architecture of a Night Owl’s Soul is built in the quiet hours of the night. While the world sleeps, I find my truest voice as a writer. There is a specific kind of magic that happens when the stars are out and the only sound is the rhythm of my own thoughts. This is when The Architecture of a Night Owl’s Soul reveals its hidden rooms and secret corridors. It is a space where memories of the Adriatic Sea meet the silent streets of Paris, creating a bridge between my past and my present.
For me, writing is a form of soul geology. I have to dig deep into the layers of my experience to find the diamonds of truth. As a “nocturnal bird,” I feel a surge of energy when the sun goes down. The darkness doesn’t feel heavy; it feels like a soft blanket that allows my creativity to breathe. It is in these moments that I find the strength to share my stories of survival and feminine power.
We all have our own internal structure, a way we process the world. If you are someone who finds clarity in the moonlight, embrace it. Do not try to fit into the daylight world’s schedule if your soul thrives in the shadows. Trust your unique process and let your inner architecture guide you toward your most authentic self. Your night is not empty; it is full of the starlight of your own potential.
Arhitektura noćne duše
Zašto moja magma ne čeka jutro
“Ne diraj me sada, radim. Moram ovo završiti.” To su riječi koje moj suprug često čuje kada sat otkuca ponoć. Kada mi misao padne na pamet, nije važno radim li od zore. Ja ne čekam sutra. Ne mičem se po čašu vode, a pogotovo se ne mičem zbog sna. U tim trenucima, nisam samo pisac; ja sam kanal za nešto mnogo dublje.
Ponoćna magma: Nezaustavljiva erupcija
Većina ljudi misli da je pisanje hobi, nježna zabava uz šalicu čaja. Za mene, to je geološka erupcija. Iako radim od jutra do mraka, moje najiskrenije misli često čekaju potpunu tišinu noći da izbiju na površinu.
Kada ta “ideja” stigne prije spavanja, postajem nepomična. Postoji ta nervozna, gotovo sveta energija — vatra koja mi ne da mira dok svaka riječ ne bude na svom mjestu. To je trans u kojem pritisak svijeta, računi, obveze i tuđa očekivanja jednostavno nestaju. Ostaje samo ritam tipkovnice. Moj muž to zove tvrdoglavošću; ja to zovem odavanjem počasti magmi prije nego što se ohladi u kamen. Ako je sada ne uhvatim, istina bi do jutra mogla promijeniti oblik.
Pobjeda prazne stranice
Ljudi me pitaju zašto pišem o svemu — od jednostavnog cvijeta ili plavog neba do najtamnijih ožiljaka raka, posvojenja ili izdaje. Istina je jednostavna: pisanje me čisti.
Ne pišem samo da bih bilježila događaje; pišem da bih ih preživjela. Svaki put kad ustanem sa stolice nakon duge sesije, osjećam se fizički lakšom. Kao da moji koraci postaju mekši na tlu, kao da je gravitacija života izgubila svoj stisak nada mnom. Bilo da sam zaronila u sjećanje na duboku bol ili viziju čiste ljepote, iz tog procesa izlazim s obje ruke podignute u zrak poput maratonca koji prolazi kroz cilj. Ja ne preživljavam samo svoje priče; ja pobjeđujem. Pisanje je jedino mjesto gdje mogu uzeti “prljavštinu” životnih borbi i pretvoriti je u nešto prozirno, svijetlo i nesalomljivo — poput dijamanta.
Plivanje bez morskih pasa: Dalmatinska krv
Ja sam dijete dalmatinske obale. Jadransko more je toplo, bistro i duboko — baš kao i moja duša. Mnogi se pisci boje onoga što bi mogli pronaći kada zaroni duboko u svoju podsvijest. Boje se čudovišta, “morskih pasa” svoje prošlosti ili kostura skrivenih u olupinama svojih starih života.
Ali ja ne. Ja sam dosegla točku u životu gdje sam potpuno otvorena prema sebi. Nema skrivenih opasnosti u mojim dubinama jer sam već svakom čudovištu pogledala u oči i nazvala ga pravim imenom. Preživjela sam zdravstvene oluje i potrese srca. Ono što sada iznosim na površinu nije strah; to je najdragocjenija i najskuplja riječ na bilo kojem jeziku: Istina. Moje pisanje je moje ronilačko odijelo. Omogućuje mi da dosegnem hladno, mračno dno, zgrabim taj biser istine i donesem ga natrag na obalu okupanu suncem.
Val, a ne lekcija
Kada moje riječi stignu do vas, ne želim da osjećate kao da vam propovijedam. Ja nisam guru, i nisam sudac. Ja sam samo žena koja je živjela, patila i odlučila zadržati svoje srce otvorenim.
Ženi koja stoji na obali — onoj koja vodi tihu bitku s bolešću, onoj koja oplakuje ljubav koja je umrla, ili onoj koja se osjeća nevidljivom — moja je poruka jednostavna:
“Još sam ovdje. Još uvijek hodam, i još uvijek pišem. Ako nađete svoj odraz u mojim redovima, znajte da niste sami.”
Ne nudim vam kartu ni skup pravila. Nudim vam val. Možda je hladan, možda je moćan, i možda će vas protresti, ali uvijek će biti čist. I uvijek će biti istina.

L’architecture d’une âme nocturne
Pourquoi mon magma n’attend pas le matin
“Ne me touche pas maintenant, je travaille. Je dois finir ça.” Ce sont des mots que mon mari entend souvent quand l’horloge sonne minuit. Quand une pensée me vient, peu importe que j’aie travaillé depuis l’aube. Je n’attends pas demain. Je ne bouge pas pour un verre d’eau, et encore moins pour dormir. Dans ces moments-là, je ne suis pas seulement un écrivain ; je suis un canal pour quelque chose de bien plus profond.
Le Magma de Minuit : Une éruption imparable
La plupart des gens pensent que l’écriture est un passe-temps, un doux passe-temps à pratiquer avec une tasse de thé. Pour moi, c’est une éruption géologique. Même si je travaille du matin au soir, mes pensées les plus honnêtes attendent souvent le silence total de la nuit pour refaire surface.
Quand cette “idée” arrive avant de me coucher, je deviens inamovible. Il y a une énergie nerveuse, presque sainte — un feu qui ne me laisse pas de repos tant que chaque mot n’est pas à sa place. C’est une transe où la pression du monde, les factures, et les attentes des autres disparaissent simplement. Il ne reste que le rythme du clavier. Mon mari appelle ça de l’entêtement ; j’appelle ça honorer le magma avant qu’il ne refroidisse en pierre.
La victoire de la page
Les gens me demandent pourquoi j’écris sur tout — de la simple fleur aux cicatrices les plus sombres du cancer, de l’adoption ou de la trahison. La vérité est simple : l’écriture me purifie.
Je n’écris pas seulement pour enregistrer des événements ; j’écris pour y survivre. Chaque fois que je me lève de ma chaise après une longue session, je me sens physiquement plus légère. Que je plonge dans le souvenir d’une douleur profonde ou d’une pure beauté, je sors de ce processus les deux bras en l’air comme un marathonien franchissant la ligne d’arrivée. Je ne fais pas que survivre à mes histoires ; je gagne.
Nager sans requins : Le sang dalmate
Je suis une enfant de la côte dalmate. La mer Adriatique est chaude, claire et profonde — et mon âme aussi. Beaucoup d’écrivains ont peur de ce qu’ils pourraient trouver lorsqu’ils plongent profondément dans leur subconscient. Ils craignent les monstres, les “requins” de leur passé.
Mais pas moi. J’ai atteint un point dans ma vie où je suis complètement ouverte avec moi-même. Il n’y a aucun danger caché dans mes profondeurs, car j’ai déjà regardé chaque monstre dans les yeux et l’ai appelé par son nom. Ce que je ramène à la surface maintenant n’est pas la peur ; c’est le mot le plus précieux dans n’importe quelle langue : La Vérité.
Je ne vous offre pas une carte ou un ensemble de règles.
Je vous offre une vague.
Elle peut être froide, elle peut être puissante, et elle peut vous secouer, mais elle sera toujours propre. Et ce sera toujours la vérité.

The Architecture of a Night Owl’s Soul
Why My Magma Doesn’t Wait for Morning
“Don’t touch me now, I’m working. I have to finish this.” These are the words my husband often hears when the clock strikes midnight. When a thought strikes my mind, it doesn’t matter if I’ve been working since dawn. I don’t wait for tomorrow. I don’t move for a glass of water, and I certainly don’t move for sleep. In those moments, I am not just a writer; I am a channel for something much deeper.
The Midnight Magma: An Unstoppable Eruption
Most people think writing is a hobby, a gentle pastime to be done with a cup of tea. For me, it is a geological eruption. Even though I work from morning until evening, my most honest thoughts often wait for the total silence of the night to surface.
When that “idea” arrives before bed, I become immovable. There is a nervous, almost holy energy—a fire that won’t let me rest until every word is in its place. It’s a trance where the pressure of the world, the bills, the chores, and the expectations of others simply disappear. Only the rhythm of the keyboard remains. My husband calls it stubbornness; I call it honoring the magma before it cools into stone. If I don’t catch it now, the truth might change its shape by morning.
The Victory of the Page: Why I Rise Lighter
People ask me why I write about everything—from a simple flower or a blue sky to the darkest scars of cancer, adoption, or betrayal. The truth is simple: pisanje me čisti (writing cleanses me).
I don’t just write to record events; I write to survive them. Every time I rise from my chair after a long session, I feel physically lighter. It’s as if my very footsteps become easier on the ground, as if the gravity of life has lost its hold on me. Whether I was diving into a memory of profound pain or a vision of pure beauty, I emerge from the process with both hands raised in the air like a marathon runner crossing the finish line. I don’t just survive my stories; I win. Writing is the only place where I can take the “dirt” of life’s struggles and turn it into something transparent, bright, and unbreakable—like a diamond.
Swimming Without Sharks: The Dalmatian Blood
I am a child of the Dalmatian coast. The Adriatic Sea is warm, clear, and deep—and so is my soul. Many writers are afraid of what they might find when they dive deep into their subconscious. They fear the monsters, the “sharks” of their past, or the skeletons hidden in the wreckage of their old lives.
But I don’t. I have reached a point in my life where I am completely open with myself. There are no hidden dangers in my depths because I have already looked every monster in the eye and called it by its name. I have survived the storms of health and the earthquakes of the heart. What I bring to the surface now isn’t fear; it is the most precious and expensive word in any language: The Truth. My writing is my diving suit. It allows me to reach the cold, dark bottom, grab that pearl of truth, and bring it back to the sun-drenched shore.
A Wave, Not a Lecture
When my words reach you, I don’t want you to feel like I am preaching. I am not a guru, and I am not a judge. I am just a woman who has lived, suffered, and decided to keep her heart open. I have lived a life full of challenges that could have easily turned me bitter or full of vices. Yet, I chose the path of positive energy.
To the woman standing on the shore—the one fighting a silent battle with illness, the one mourning a love that died, or the one feeling invisible—my message is simple:
“If I could find my way back to the light, so can you.”
I don’t offer you a map or a set of rules. I offer you a wave. It might be cold, it might be powerful, and it might shake you, but it will always be clean. And it will always be the truth.
