Do not be afraid of writing, but let the soul go down to your fingers; then you will notice the true shape of things, for pictures are the true letters and this has been the truth from time immemorial.

(V. Andonovski, Alphabet for the Disobedient)

Writing journalistic articles, such as reportages, travelogues, descriptions of events, and columns, where more subtle content is noticeable represents the real pleasure for Aleksandra Borštnar Maček. The expressive power of her words and their deep communicativeness can be felt especially in articles where the serious content is filled with joy and joyous life energy.

Treat yourself to an afternoon nap and read a text for pleasure.

Aleksandra Borštnar Maček, born Maček, a professor of German and a university graduate of journalism, began her journalistic career as an “Indijanka” at the weekly newspaper Novi tednik in Celje. Soon after that she began to publish articles and journalistic reportages in magazines Moda in, Pepita, Misteriji and in Šentjurske novice. At Grammar school Jože Plečnik, where she was a trainee, she was encouraging her students to write. Her effort and enthusiasm led to the release of the school newspaper Jože. By editing bilingual dictionaries PONS for the Rokus Klett Publishing, she was creating manuals that help connect people through language. When participating in European projects such as Europazug in Germany and Europeum in Austria, she implemented a noticeable trace of Slovenian national consciousness and her love for the Slovenian word into her international activities.

Nowadays, whenever she finds some spare time, she is devoted to writing reflective columns, where she tries to provide her readers a multifaceted understanding of the world, human beings, human relationships and to promote conscious activities in the spirit of unity of all creation.
