I'm in a constant journey of growth and self-improvement. Aren't we all, right? In this quest, I recently came across the term UX Writing. Ever so curious, I was piqued. What is UX Writing? Can I do it? I'm a writer after all, it seems right up my skill tree and something that should be included in that list of…
I haven't blogged in ages. It's no secret. If I still have followers who receive these posts, I'm sure they'll be wondering who, what, when, and why they are receiving this. The truth is I've been in somewhat of a writing hiatus. Yeah, what a way to claim to be a writer, right? Hey, it's not that I don't write…
JD Estrada approached me with a fun prompt and this is the story that emerged. Enjoy! https://plus.google.com/u/0/+JDEstrada/posts/QbqYLY9eRmY
I was recently bloghopped by an amazing author: JD Estrada. I met JD at the recent Puerto Rico Comic Con 2015 and got myself a signed copy of one amazing ride (Only Human) that I have yet to finish, but promise to tell (without spoilers) when I’m done. For now, I’ll leave you with one thought: Thank God I’m Only…
I've been reading a lot about writing and publishing these days. I notice there are a lot of writers out there drowning in self-doubt and frustration and the common element I notice with these authors is what is generally known as the "publishing world". Yes, we have all tried to understand and hopefully weasel our way into the "publishing world".…
The Adventures of Pixie Piper: A Fairy's Breath by Maricel Jiménez Peña My rating: 5 of 5 stars I wanted to write something fun to read; an adventure! I am still a child at heart and I love fairies. I think they are beautiful, mysterious, and interesting. I researched and read until I found something that inspired me. In the…
Ok, so I recently published my very first book. People generally wonder how long it took to write it. Frankly, writing the first draft did not take that long (maybe 4 - 6 months). What took forever was the editing! To be honest, I'm almost ashamed to admit that I wrote the first draft of this book back in 2006.…
My son lost a tooth yesterday. It had been wiggling for a while and yesterday it finally came loose. The new tooth was already coming out behind it. Now I don't know if you're aware of this, but the Puerto Rican tooth fairy is actually a mouse. "El Ratón" to be precise. The little "rajiero" comes at night and takes…
Ok. So I recently self-published my very first kid's book via amazon: The Adventures of Pixie Piper: A Fairy's Breath and now all of a sudden I have all these marketing tools at my disposal: Author pages, marketing services, endless twitter options, etc. I'm suddenly overwhelmed. I can connect my twitter to the author page, connect the blog, a Facebook page...…
Hoy fluye la tinta como aguacero de mayo Con rabia e intención Hoy fluye con propósitos directos Sin rebuscar metáforas ¿Para qué? El sentimiento no tiene por qué taparse Por qué esconderse ¿Para qué? Que fluya Que haga ruido Que se sienta Que lo detecten mis sensores Y me hagan reír, llorar, sufrir… vivir Porque de eso se trata. ©…
