#WordWeavers 15 What type of writing (novels, shorts, poetry, etc) comes more naturally for you?
Deranged nonsense counts? =)
I'd say that short stories are the least unnatural format for me. I prefer long stories, though. Sin albur…=)

#TimeTravelAuthors 03 Old buildings in your story
Lots. The Old Hag has a lot of those in her "Mama Toñita's Home for the Lost Souls". Every time an old building is set to be demolished, she'll talk with the owners, and convince them to let her take it. No one dares to say no to her. And no one wonders how she moves, say, a 200 hundred years stone building from one place in the city to the other side in a blink. These things happen all the time. Lots of scenes happen in buildings like those…=)

#PennedPossibilities 1002 Tell us a random fact (of any kind) about your WIP
The world's facing a heavy ice age, courtesy of the return of magic somewhere in the last century. This made some powers (the gods *AND* other entities, human and not) do things to warm up the planet, and now, heat is a problem everyone must endure. This is bankrupted more than one winter-only clothing business, forced people to use shorter, fresher, and looser clothing, and, still, winters are cold as hell…=-|

2026-04-17 21:32:23 CEST

#TimeTravelAuthors 17 How do you feel about story structure?
What's that? I write what the story demands, and to hell with structure. At least at first…=)

2026-02-11 01:00:32 CET

#TimeTravelAuthors 09 Does your story get "political"?
A little. A little more than it should, in fact, but who am I to prevent this? I'm just its writer…=)

2026-02-11 00:31:46 CET

#WritersCoffeeClub 09 Do you subscribe to 'show, don't tell'? Why, or why not?
Nope. Mostly because some things can only be told, for all the reasons you can imagine, and some you can't/shouldn't/wouldn't…=)
Of course, when you actually can show, please do so. Unless The Holy Laziness (or the laws) says otherwise…>=)

Their phones were easy to learn because those were designed to dumb down the experience, and now expect that from "big" computers. That's why I change the defaults when I can, because I know I am the one who will suffer if/when they mess up things…=)
Now, if they stop paying me to solve their problems, then may the force be with them…>=)
And most people use windows, so changing their OS to something with more logical storage systems is out of the question, sadly…=(

Problem here is that users would have to learn a new way to do things, and I've seen that most users don't want to learn the basics, much less a totally new way to manage their files. "This way works", they say, and not even when something happens and their files evaporate they want to do things better. If you can recover their data, they'll start doing things the same way again. I know because I do this sometimes…=)
This Hydrus Network looks good…=)

2026-01-28 18:57:46 CET

#WritersCoffeeClub 27 What's a technical skill you think should be more widespread?
Basic file management on a computer. I've seen many people (young and not so young) save *EVERYTHING* in one directory (I refuse to call them "folders") and later can't find anything. They should learn that basic skill in school, but no. No one teaches them that. I'd blame phones for this but this trend started in the Windows 95 days with the "My Documents" directory…=-|

#TimeTravelAuthors 25 Problem/difficulty you had with time travel
I wanted to avoid paradoxes, time loops, etc., so I made actual time travel impossible. You can go to "timelines" that may look the same as yours but aren't, and you can never go back home. When you "return to your time", you go to another reality that looks more or less like yours should look with the changes you made, but you'll eventually realize it is *NOT* home…>=)
Loops and paradoxes exist, but at a *VERY* small scale…=)

Right now I just want the universe to forget I exist for two or three days. Then it can continue to make my life hell, the way I make my characters life hell…=)
You can check (and configure) this most sacred font here: https://input.djr.com/

I like DejaVu too, but I can't stand the dotted zeros. I'm a 100% slashed zero dude, and Input can be configured to use those, plus one-storied lowercase a and g, middle asterisk, and other niceties…=)
Once that font is on the system, I can happily write for hours. When the universe lets me…=)

Yep. You mess with fonts when you set up the editor, and that's it. All my text editors (in Win/Lin/Mac) are configured in either Input Mono or IBM Plex Mono, for legibility reasons. Once that's done, it's writing time. All the notes live in a physical notepad, along with the first draft…=)
The only other resource I find essential is a good keyboard. And for me, that is a blue switched mechanical one, so it sounds like a battlefield when I write…=)

2025-12-17 18:49:51 CET

#WritersCoffeeClub 17 Give a shout-out to a resource or site you think more writers should know.
Your computer's basic plain text editor. Most people will use more advanced tools, but the humble text editor is always there and, in an emergency, you can write there without worrying about formats, typefaces, etc…=)

2025-12-03 18:48:25 CET

#WordWeavers 03 What's the best thing about the world of your story?
That most essential public services, like electicity, running water, etc., are essentially free for everyone, and, believe it or not, those services are *EFFICIENT*. And there's little discrimination, so everyone, in theory, can be who they want to be and most people will ignore "the weirdos". Neat place, right? >=)

2025-06-21 23:24:51 CEST

#WritersCoffeeClub 21 Which facets of your writing only work in the language in which it was written?
As I write in Spanish, the double meaning words/phrases some characters use to "attack" other characters will be lost in translation. All can be translated and anyone will get the "decent" meaning, but the "right" meaning will be lost in translation. "El Chico Medallas" become "Medals Boy", which means that, an awarded guy, but the sexual "invitation" is lost, for example…=)

#PennedPossibilities #Writing 603 How would you describe your MC's handwriting?
—Our Hero's handwriting looks like what a doctor would write while drunk, in a hurry, and with severe forced drug addiction withdrawal symptoms would like. Believe me. He loves writing but has to type his "ideas" because not even he can understand his "spider feet" writing…
Dr. Apocalypse

#TimeTravelAuthors #Writing 09 Does anyone bring an item from another time period? How do others react?
They bring *LOTS* of things from other times. Most people ignore those things because they're supposed to use them in secret, and they won't, say, park the Enterprise in front of the Capitol in 1876. But for those few that happen to see those out-timely things, "awe" and/or "terror" are words that just begins to describe their reaction…=)

2025-01-08 16:53:31 CET

#WordWeavers #Writing 08 How do you create characters who have depth?
1. Create a perfect character
2. Add all the flaws possible
3. Give them all the trouble you can throw at them
4. See how they react
5. Give them more trouble
6. Give them a little reward for their pain
7. Repeat points 3 to 5 until they break or come to your house to kill you…=)

I seldom tell friends and family that I write. Most of them are allergic to reading, and very few would get the ideas behind my stories. And those who could get the theme, would discard it just because it comes from me. They can't believe I can do creative things. Lovely people, aren't they? =)
The very few that know about my ramblings mostly say not bad things, which is good…=)

#TimeTravelAuthors #Writing 10 Whatever
—Ready, sir. Pizza with extra pineapple.
—NO!
—No!
—Not again!
—What is your problem with pineapple? It's the fruit of the gods! The gods themselves have told you that!
—It's blasphemy. Pizza and pineapple don not mix, sir.
—No? Sorry but I'm not sorry. Now eat, because I don't know when we will have time again.
—Ewwww
—¡Guácala!
—Fools. Eat or you'll be on cleaning duty the rest of the year.
—Let's go on strike.
—Sure! Go tell the Boss that! =D

Yep, but I didn't want to use, abuse, and overuse the overuse, abuse, and use and abuse of commas…=)

#PennedPossibilities #Writing 491 Do you plan on publishing your current WIP one day?
Yep. For free. I have no idea where, but it will be published just because I say so…=)

2024-11-09 18:08:22 CET

#WritersCoffeeClub #Writing 09 Do you ever use particular punctuation characters like [, ], {, }, <, >, #, _, *? How do you use them?
Yep. I like to put characters' "thought" bubbles inside [ ], emulating the yellow boxes used in comic books. I use the # for text coming from computers that isn't a prompt, which I write as a simple >. My favorite way to emphasize things is *THIS*. And, of course, I use and overuse and abuse the em-dash and the ellipsis…=)
And commas. *LOTS* of commas…=D

#WritersCoffeeClub #Writing 26 Have you entered any contests? Which would you recommend?
Nope and none that I know. I'd rather get destroyed by people I know and I can get actual revenge…>=)

2024-10-05 17:34:43 CEST

#WritersCoffeeClub #Writing 05 You're the Ruler of the Writing Universe for the day. What petty rule do you decree?
Every first draft written in a computer will be written using Comic Sans, and subsequent drafts will be written in Arial, Cambria, or any monospaced font that a) isn't Courier-derived b) have a slashed 0 and c) it is impossible to confuse I, l, and the 1.
Those who don't obey will be sent to be processed by the Spanish Inquisition.
Next Question!

#TimeTravelAuthors #Writing 03 Something blue in your story
The light from the death ray they use to open the Reality Barrier. It's an almost black shade of blue to an almost white shade of blue gradient. Sometimes it looks purple/violet, but it *IS* blue, dipinto di blu…=)
