Director Fidel Lorite, whom I often work with (see for example Killer Eyelashes or Mrs. Carrington), premieres today his new music clip “Perfecto”. It’s the new single from the latest album by Lantana, “Ex-Corazón”. I hope you like it

The Writing Workshop takes the day off today so we get a chance to present this nice cartton that Clara Soriano has made of my character in Mrs. Carrington.
Of course she’s the same artist that amazed us with her view of our protagonists.
Have a nice day!
A simple question today from “Señor Nox”:
I’d like to ask you for the titles of the books you recommended in the podcast regarding the art of writing.
As the podcast is only available in Spanish, I think it’s interesting to list here the books that have been more thoroughly discussed so that everyone can catch up.
I’m reluctant to recommend Card lately because he has turned out a campaigning homophobe, therefore I’ll try to keep adding new titles soon so you can skip his.
I’d like to remind you that if you do your purchases on DVDGo, Casa del Libro or Amazon UK through the links provided here, a small commission will go to this Writing Workshop to help cover the site costs, which would be highly appreciated by yours truly.
Here concludes the monographic week devoted to Frank McCourt, I hope you liked it. If you intend to purchase the books, I’d like to remind you that by doing so through the links we provide, a small commission will reach this website and help support the Writing Workshop.
This week also served to kick off two new experiments:
Finally, a little reminder: we are still tweaking the website quite often. Due to this, it’s possible that the audios of our podcast have been duplicated in your iTunes – sorry about the inconvenience. If that is your case and you wish to free that space, you only need to delete the duplicate entries – the feed will continue to work normally. If you find any other problem, like missing images or broken links, please let us know through the contact form. Thank you all, and have a nice weekend!
Since we moved the Writing Workshop here and started off the bilingual blog things are getting busy! Unique visitors for the month of July amount to almost 60,000 – thanks a lot everyone!
To stay up to date with all that’s going on, I recommend RSS suscriptions, for example through Google Reader, so you won’t miss any new Posts or even any new Comments, where debates are getting hot!
Additionally, for Spanish speakers or students wishing to listen to the podcast, there are two suscription options available: RSS o iTunes.
Those with less experience with computers -or simply not willing to suscribe despite my recommendations- simply need to return frequently and have a look at the latest changes.
A note about the comments: unfortunately I’ve been so far unable to separate them by language, so currently all you see are Spanish-language comments. Please don’t let that refrain you from writing your own comments in English – it’s perfectly OK to have them mingle together until we find a better solution for this. (Suggestions are welcome too)
For those who already know all of this and are sick of having me repeat it, here’s the funny trivia/news of the day: I just found out that Placebo are Mrs. Carrington fans!
Some months ago I announced that I was looking for a collaborator for my latest project: an illustrated novel. I thought nobody would reply, or maybe some cartoonist would and I would have to make do with him. Was I wrong!
I was counting replies by the dozens. The selection process has been (pardon my French) long and hard, but eventually it would have to reach its end. Thanks to everyone for taking part and for sending those fantastic sketches.
I hope I can introduce you my new partner very soon. For now we’ll be entering what moviemakers call pre-production: a time to bring two heads together till they work as one and draw the map of one of the largest, cutest, most ambitious projects I have ever undertaken. Wish us good luck!
