New season, new layout
It's been a while since I started to blog. I've been mostly lurking around LJ and commenting on other posts. And this summer I've almost forgot about it.
I know I'm not yet consistent but I want to become more active in my blogging as one of next season goals. But I'm not yet sure of what will I be talking. My first intention was to talk about what ( Read more... ) -
WriteOnCon starts tomorrow!
Time flies, at least when things related to writing happen to me.
Been working hard and trying to get my 500 words a day, 1000 on weekends and achieving it. It's kind of hard to get home and hurry to computer just after you've been all morning messing up with reports and hand paint and sewing t-shirts and going to the beach with 4 wheelchairs and ( Read more... ) -
#AugWriMo as a way to kick my lazy bone
July was kind of slow. At least slow on my writing.
In theory I am revising (but I'm really changing everything from plot line to characters) a young adult fantasy I started last NaNoWriMo. But after reading Donald Maass Writing the Breakout Novel I was sure my story lacked tension, conflict and it was too small to attract readers. So now I'm ( Read more... ) -
About Rejection Land and getting over it
Yeah, I know. It's been a while.
I got the rejection a while back but first I had to swallow it all by myself, now I feel prepared to share it. I lived the first few days shocked. I felt everything I was writing was meaningless, had no quality, mattered to no one.
I also managed to read a few books during these days, feeling more depressed as I ( Read more... ) -
I finally dared
Been out for most of the month and part of the other. Writing of course. I'm working on the huge YA that will take me an awful lot of time. I don't count on finishing soon. But it's big, it's magic and I'm enjoying the whole process ( Read more... ) -
Sant Jordi - Books' Day
This is my favorite holidays. Well, not exactly a holidays, it's a labor day because most bookshops claim they sell more books during labor days but anyway, every 23 April I take a day off from my job. I've always done. While I was at University I took the day off and just walked Barcelona's Ramblas up and down, looking at people, at books, at ( Read more... ) -
Second draft
Second drafts are way easier than the first ones, right? You know your story, you got a sense of your characters, of setting...
It should be easier, but it isn't. At least for me.
A week ago I received one of the most beloved presents from my mom: a box of books right from the States. No novels this time, just how-tos.
I started Writing the ( Read more... ) -
Comming back
It’s been a while since I wrote something in here.
Been writing a lot though. I’ve worked on a freelance project that it’s now finished and waiting for some cash (grin). And I’ve also worked on the rewrites for my own WIP. It’s a slow process, I’m trying to decide a lot of things and building so much backstory taht won’t make to this book. But... if ( Read more... )
