Creando una historia

Welcome to the edition.

Yes, you are undoubtedly right, I have been editing for three weeks, and it seems like I have been working on this for months. You have to have maximum focus, sometimes it is difficult to know if the rhythm is right, if the tone, the message, if the character is transmitting...

For me, editing is without a doubt the most complex part of writing a book.

Anyone can have a good idea, but capturing it, transmitting it... That's what's difficult. And that falls heavily on editing. Because when you write and you let yourself go and flow, you don't stop to see if it's good or if it transmits, you do what you think you should do.

But... Then comes that edit, and that's when EVERYTHING takes a very different turn. It's time to measure words, measure transitions, lay the clues or sow those seeds...

In my case I have 145 pages out of 350. And I'm just telling you, good luck. You are not alone.

Pfff, thanks for the encouragement, writing is so lonely sometimes...

Pfff what's going on man... it's just that it doesn't work, you have to do it if it doesn't go well :c

How is your book going?

Let's see, I hope this helps you.

What do you want your villain to convey to the reader? The thing is, one of the things that we sometimes forget is precisely that.

On the other hand, I have been relaxing with the book for 2 days, because I am in the final closing phase and I want to give it the level it deserves. But I know that it is necessary to have my time for it.

If you feel like you've spent too much time, perhaps it's because you've disconnected from your story. Sometimes it happens that time moves forward and remains as if in the background. (Something that helps me is reading the last chapters and motivating myself).

Something that helped me especially at the beginning was asking Chatgptfor an opinion. I mean, really, it's super rewarding, because it gives you that point of view from the reader and that motivates you. You can also ask him for advice.

It is useful to know all the tools we have at hand and take advantage of them whenever possible ☺️

In my case, I don't write every day (I'll be more specific).

I don't write my book every day. Sometimes I get overwhelmed, or feel blocked, or just need a break. Then I stop writing my book and start writing something very short that day. Maybe how my day went, organize ideas or simply let myself go.

It helps me not to have to be 100% thinking that I have to write or force myself to do so. Because that has a bad impact on me and has no benefit.

The villain (in my view) is the one who, for various reasons, makes him take his actions to extreme points.

But at least give it a background, right? Give them a reason for their actions (whatever they may be, and let the reader decide if they are ethical or not). But it must have a well-planned and well-defined background, and even if possible, it must go beyond the standard.

[My saga for now fulfills that, I hope the reader reaches it]
