Decluttering or the weight of the wind

What the hell is decluterring? It means “remove unnecesary objects”. Since last July, I’m cleaning up at home in Madrid and in Dublin as well. I’m trying to simplify my life to o make it as lighter as possible. I’m not talking only about physical objects but also about in a personal point of view. I’m getting rid of heavy memories and selfimposed duties that were making my life miserable. Like a friend told me once, at the end of the day we only have two hands and we should choose carefully what to carry with us and what to leave behind.

I leave you with some inspiring links. If you have any interesting link or tip for this kind of “spring cleaning”, please leave it on the comments. They all will be very helpful.

Invisible friends

Since few weeks ago, I’m working on my second novel fictional characters. Although many books about their creation suggest it as part of the authour, giving them their own voice is a slow process and in my case, it’s complex and it takes a lot of time. Or at least it is for me. How do you create fictional characters? I usually follow The 100 Most Important Things To Know About Your Character.




But what about their looking? Do you use some celebrities? friends? I usually help myself with all kinds of images such as comics, advestisement, news, movies or whatever. What is the most difficult when you’re creating a character?

For me, giving them a name. Check this website out, it’s quite interesting.
