October Reveries – I read some more and I’m making a writing course!
October was so bittersweet! I’ve had a lot going on but overall, I’ve definitely been taking advantage of my recent graduate status!
I started doing Pilates again, which is a special kind of torture that I weirdly prefer over going to a gym. But last week my friend and I took a spinning class -they offer those in the same place too- to get some cardio going and… I got wrecked.
Of course I made sure to tell the instructor that I didn’t even know how to a ride a regular bike. He walked us...

Forbidden Series by Syrie and Ryan M. James | A revision oF an old favorite
Forbidden came out a few years ago, back when it was way easier for a story to completely ensnare me. Unfortunately, the book had an open ending, hinting at a sequel to come, which would take all this time to get published. I truly, truly, loved Forbidden when I first read it so I knew I needed some closure and finally get to read what happened next!
The authors were kind enough to add a free copy of the first book along with the sequel. It was a superb idea on their part since, granted, I...

Los 4 Requisitos para Crear Personajes Memorables
He estado trabajando en transformar mi taller presencial de ‘Creación y Desarrollo de Personajes’ en un curso en línea disponible para todos, incluso si no viven en mi misma ciudad. Revisar el contenido me hizo dar cuenta de algunos puntos que debería agregar ahora que estoy por lanzar el curso. Y uno de los temas es este precisamente, personajes memorables.
Todo lo que tiene que ver con escritura es complejo, relativo y susceptible, pero a mí me encanta trabajar con conceptos simplificado...

Four months have passed since the shadow stone fell into Kell's possession. Four months since his path crossed with Delilah Bard. Four months since Rhy was wounded and the Dane twins fell, and the stone was cast with Holland's dying body through the rift, and into Black London.

Por qué tu historia necesita tener una transformación
Si has tenido la oportunidad de ver otras de mis entradas en el blog, podrás notar que algunas de ellas son reseñas de libros. Ya no las escribo tanto como antes, no leo ya tan rápido, y tampoco hago una reseña para cada libro que leo -sólo sobre los que tengo algo que decir.
Obviamente, como a todos nos pasa, hay libros que me han gustado, y otros que no. Hay libros que simplemente no eran para mí, y otros que no deberían ser para nadie. Hay otros que tenían ideas excelentes pero fallaban...

How I started reading in english -and why I continue doing it
It’s no secret that a lot of us in the community aren’t native english speakers. Regardless, our paths have brought us here, together. I won’t dwell too much on how right or wrong or dangerous to our own cultures this is, because that is a complicated discussion that merits its own post. But it’s worth bringing up.
In the latest issue of the Ya zine, Stay Bookish, some awesome people -ahem, me too- collaborated on a international-themed article that explores some of the struggles and facet...

September Reveries – I’m a graduate!
Yes I am! But before I get into that, I just want to say wow. This year has flown by so fast! And I haven’t read nearly as many books as I’d planned.
September began in a rush for me, since I was rushing to get everything in order before my thesis presentation. I can now assure you it went great! My mom also arrived around that time and stayed for a few weeks with us. She had plans for remodeling the house so I spent most of this month using my phone to take photos of granite and lamp opti...
