How realistic should books be? Do we even care?
Hi people! Before I dive into this post, I wanted to acknowledge the elation that gives me the fact I have a post to publish that I’m quite motivated to write. I’ve talked lately about how much in a blogging funk I’ve been, so this was kind of a miracle. As of writing this post I’m at my desk at work, and honestly? I’m drowning in stuff to do. But I know if I leave this for later, I’ll either forget the idea, or lose all the creative steam.
What do you mean realistic?
A little context:

Nominating awesome people for the 2019 Book Blogger Awards
I’ve been blogging for a while, which is is why it’s strange to admit this is the first time I’m writing a nominations post. Makes me feel old! But I’m so happy I had the chance to finally participate in this.

Has blogging always been this hard? I’m struggling way more now
I think we’re all familiar with the usual love-hate cycle that comes with the job. It sucks. Call it a slump, or being uninspired… It’s expected. But I’ve been struggling so much lately and I don’t know if it’s just me, or something with the bloggers who have been around about the same time I have, or if it’s just that as a whole the community isn’t into blogging that much anymore.
Time and energy, my enemies
I won’t even try to make excuses, because, while I do seem to be very busy late...

How to develop your amazing book blogger brand
Developing a ‘blogger brand’ is something that I think all of us struggle with, and not only at first. Your blogging brand is how the online world sees you, and it’s some ‘set it and forget it’ thing. It’s something you have to continously work on. You’ve got to make sure it’s consistent and that also, be aware of when it’s changing, or should change.
Not all bloggers think about this, but we all do it at least on a subconscious level. The moment we create our blogs and give them names an...

I prefer standalone books now -#noregrets
I know the community has already discussed this before. At lenght. But I’ve always been the type to say I don’t mind much as long as a series isn’t 4+ books. Starting series is something that I manage depending on the series, and the author. Maybe I decide to get the books as soon as they come out, and also read them, or I get them and wait, or I just wait for all of them to be out. It depends on my mood too!
But lately, these recent months, I’ve been in a place where starting new series see...

Cómo escribir una novela -Una guía completa
Es algo completamente normal que luego de ser un lector por un tiempo, quieres tú también lograr hacer lo mismo e impactar la vida de otras personas con tus propias palabras. Te comienzas a preguntas cómo escribir una novela. Y cuando empiezas es tan emocionante. Pero una vez que te vas dando cuenta de todo el trabajo que conlleva… también es abrumador. Sientes que hay demasiadas cosas a las que hay que prestarle atención. Y, pues sí. Pero con práctica te vas acostumbrando.
También pensé en h...
