This novel has been a challenge as it came to me in an unusual way and also the way of working on it has been different from my previous novels. The main character of the story develops her potential over a long period of time, which I never do in my books, in a way that her life is pretty much the story of the novel; she is a being connected to Nature, a child-woman that in past centuries was called a "witch", a creature whose energies collide with the conventions of the society in which she lives, in this case that of a small Aragonese village in the eighteenth century...(less)

There are many ways to induce a mood that helps you write; the easiest and most obvious way is… writing, getting the habit of writing every day, the more we are used to writing regularly, the easier it will be to sit down and write, and the easier creativity will flow.
I also believe in hard work, and that good time management, materials and resources can help you advance in writing your novel. A good structure will allow you to write at any time, even when you do not feel much like writing, because you always know what comes next in the story.
Another issue is the result of the first draft, there will be bright parts and horrible parts, but nothing that a bit of work cannot solve. You always have to work on it, but if you have not written a single page because you are "blocked" there is nothing to correct or improve, there is nothing to work on and there will be no novel at all.(less)

Retiro literario: musas con horario de oficina

Estoy en mitad del bosque. Literalmente. Rodeada de árboles, silencio, y ese tipo de calma que solo aparece cuando el móvil está apagado y no hay supermercados cerca. Llevo días escribiendo, releyendo, tachando, reescribiendo, y sí, también dudando un poco, que para eso estamos vivos.

Muchas veces me preguntan cómo se escribe una novela. A veces con esa media sonrisa que insinúa algo como "cuan
