January Reveries – How I failed at reading
Hi everyone! I know I don’t normally do wrap up posts, only when I truly have something to say, so let’s get started.

A Look at 2017 -End of the Year Book Tag
2017 has been a tough year. I don’t think it’s going to get any easier next year, but still, I can’t say it’s personally been all bad. A lot of us can be highly empathic and bad things tend to get us down. It just feels weird and wrong to be happy when so many awful things have happened, are happening, and will probably just get worse.
But we have to, you know.
For this sort of recap, I’ll try to focus on very non-negative things? The things that have made me happy, were interesting, or j...

3 Errores Que Estás Cometiendo Con Tus Personajes
Ok, sus personajes son super cool. Pero siempre podemos pulir y refinarlos, ¿no? La primera vez que me embarqué en la gran tortura aventura que es escribir un libro, cometí muchos, pero muchos errores. Es mi placer ahora contarles acerca de algunos de ellos.
Antes, sin embargo, me gustaría recordarles que en la escritura, las reglas son más como guidelines, guías con las cuáles nos podemos ayudar. En algunas historias puede que sea mejor romper las reglas. Hay un dicho que me encanta, que...

¿Cómo Empiezo mi Novela? – El Momento Característico
¿Quién no se ha preguntado cómo empezar su novela? El inicio, como dicen, es ciertamente la parte más díficil. Sabemos como los lectores deciden en un instante si el libro merece su atención o no. De hecho, muchas personas ni siquiera llegan a abrir el libro. Lo deciden basados en la portada solamente.

¿Cómo lo haces?
