#WritersCoffeeClub 03 What's the sign of a good critique?
If the critic is still breathing without mechanical help after a harsh but otherwise fair opinion it's a good one…=)

2026-05-01 19:30:57 GMT

#WritersCoffeeClub 01 Workers' Day: What can we do to support and protect other writers, not only now, but in the future as well?
Tell this to every writer you cross paths with: "You can do it". "Never give up, never surrender" works, too…=)
Reject AI "created" works.
Buy directly from the authors if/when possible, and always buy from official sources.
Read, review, recommend all books/stories you like.

2026-04-17 19:32:23 GMT

#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…=)

2026-01-28 17:57:46 GMT

#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…=-|

2026-01-28 17:54:12 GMT

#WritersCoffeeClub 26 Do you include things you personally find repellent in your work?
Yes. I like to make my characters like/dislike things like those. The Old Hag *LOVES* guacamole (that disgusting avocado sauce), and would bathe in it if she could (and she does). I can't stand avocado, so I had to include it. Some characters like music whose existence I'd like to forget. Things like these…=)

2026-01-26 01:51:37 GMT

#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…=)

2025-12-03 17:48:25 GMT

#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? >=)

2025-10-07 18:45:11 GMT

#WritersCoffeeClub 07 Have you ever gone away somewhere special expressly to write?
Does hiding in a warehouse or in my car so no one interrupt me?
Other than that, I sometimes "go to the hospital so I can write". I have to go to the free pharmacy at my hospital so I can be sent back home (major leagues baseball style), and I can write while the people at the counter wait for their turn at bat…=)

2025-10-05 19:44:42 GMT

#WritersCoffeeClub 05 Have you ever included real-world disproven science in a work?
Yep. I like to add things like Piltdown Man just to make things fun. I had one character swear that Earth was only 18,500 years old (based on his personal interpretation of "Scripture"), just to have his mind broken down when his time machine sent him way, way back before that…>=)

2025-10-02 16:30:28 GMT

#WordWeavers 02 What do your characters argue about?
They argue about *EVERYTHING*. From the silliest things, like the battle plan for tonight's operation, to vital things like whether pineapple on pizza is a must (it is) or not. And whoever say it is not will be severely punished in the name of the Moon for such offense. Some argue about what show they'll watch on the main TV, or who they'll vote for in the next election. They argue about anything just because they all are fools…=)

2025-09-29 16:56:11 GMT

#PennedPossibilities 798 On average, how long are your writing sessions?
No such thing as a "standard writing session" here. It can be a few minutes, or a few hours. In the last months there has been exactly zero writing minutes (but things are returning to not-normal normal, thanks to Holy Q*). But let's say that 30 minutes is the closest to a normal writing session when the stars align right…=)
* I mean Star Trek's Q, of course…=)

2025-06-21 21:16:48 GMT

#WordWeavers 21 What does a typical breakfast/first meal of the day look like for your MC?
If everything's right, eggs, ham, bread, some fruit, a a full 2 liter Diet Coke bottle. If not, anything he finds on the fridge will do. Last night pizza, for example, There's always last night pizza in any fridge at the Old Hag's house. *ALWAYS*. And he can get some food on his way to work, too. Not too healthy food, of course, but he's beyond such worries. Way beyond…>=)

2025-05-13 17:05:36 GMT

#WordWeavers 13 What was the worst mistake in a final manuscript that you only realised after the book was published?
Let's say I once left a mention of "Starfleet" in a work report. I blamed one coworker who in fact had a small USS Enteprise (from the Micro Machines collection, I believe) on his desk…>=)
I'm 3V1L…=)

2025-05-10 16:48:56 GMT

#WritersCoffeeClub 9 Have you ever realised you'd included an unintended shibboleth in your own work?
None that I can think of, with the possible exception of the L337 phrases I like to use in-story, and that may put me/my characters in the "hacker" category. I use that mostly because I like how it looks. Not to mention that I write in L337 in public, just because I like how people look at me when I do it. People that shouldn't be looking at what I'm writing, btw. '<|-|3$ /\/\1|20|/|35…=)

2025-05-07 16:31:09 GMT

#WritersCoffeeClub 7 Share a special location you write in for inspiration.
The area around the Sala Nezahualcoyotl Concert Hall at the UNAM's Centro Cultural Universitario in México City.
It can be a very relaxing place even when there's events in all halls. You sit in one of the many volcanic rock "seats", and you can put your mind to work in your story, or whatever you want to do…=)
You can see some photos of the place here:

What's that? I have no idea what that* means…=-|
Let's read! =)
* The value of that "that" is "mind". The other nouns I sure know what they are…=)

2025-04-24 19:22:49 GMT

#WritersCoffeeClub 24 How comfortable are you with ambiguity as a reader? As a writer?
It depends on the moon phase, the weather, how much Diet Coke I got that day, and other variables. Many, many variables. Sometimes I want clean numbers and the adding machine well oiled, sometimes I like to end a story and think/scream "what the actual $#@%&‽‽‽". Both as a reader and as a writer…=)

2025-04-24 19:14:46 GMT

#WordWeavers 24 Would your MC rather lose their sight or hearing?
—Both, please. I want to stop seeing and watching these damn fools I have to deal every day. But you know something? That can't happen! I tried "refreshing" my eyes once with chlorine and ammonia and the damn doctor not only restored my eyes but also configured them to see in infrared and ultraviolet. And I'm sure I could actually *SEE* FM radio waves for a while! Such was my reward…

That sounds like a perfectly thought out answer. 100% precise, and with an implicit invitation to stop questioning her, and the promise of getting an invitation to the The Alley of Beatings for a party the interviewer won't forget. Or maybe they will forget it, along with most of their memories for being to curious…=)

#WordWeavers #Writing 19 Have you ever learned something about yourself from your characters?

2025-04-18 16:03:51 GMT

#WritersCoffeeClub #Writing 18 Do you write under a pen name? Multiple? How did you choose?
Only this (for now), for national security reasons…=)
I took this name from the *#⚡$%💀! Maistro, the original MC, when I realized it could be translated as "shameless" if you twisted a little the language rules of Nahuatl, Japanese, and Spanish. It could be translated as "Big Face", and in Spain that's a synonym for shameless, a word that has been used more than once to describe me. I couldn't resist…😎

2025-04-18 15:44:54 GMT

#WritersCoffeeClub #Writing 17 Do your real-world tastes show up in your writing?
Sure! =)
Many of my real "tastes" are part of my characters' personality. My sworn hate for avocado in all its manifestations is shared by many of my characters (for different reasons, though), as is the love for country music that The Old Hag has and that many consider as unnatural, for example…=)

2025-04-18 15:34:06 GMT

#WordWeavers #Writing 18 What would it take for your MC to become violent?
Just let him see how a child is harmed in any way, and he'll turn green, if you know what I mean. The culprits will know pain like never before in their miserable lives, and will pray for a quick death that will not come. He'll show those bastards the difference between fear and terror, and, if they are unlucky, they'll live to tell the tale and will spend the rest of their lives in jail/IC…=-|

2025-04-16 15:13:39 GMT

#WordWeavers #Writing 16 If your MC wasn't involved with the story, what would they do with their life?
Our Hero would still be known as Our Hero, but he'd still be operating from his original body, and would still be working at National Security, hidden in some server room at one of the Secretariat's many buildings, doing his best to do the least possible effort every day, wishing every day he had the metaphorical balls to call the Mythical Ex, and, believe it or not, enjoying life…=)

She's a daughter of La Chingada…=)
She, like almost all of the "guests" at the Old Hag's house, call said Old Hag "Mom" or something like that. The Old Hag says that *EVERY* living being on Earth are her children, so it fits. The Still Unnamed Daughter is her "spiritual" daughter like everyone else, and I still haven't found the right name for her, but she has a normal family, a family that mostly believe her to be dead…=)

#WritersCoffeeClub #Writing 11 Share a favorite line of prose.
"By the way, I overheard a little bit of what you said… Forget 30, the same thing happens once you're 40… Despite how old I've gotten, anyone older than me still treats me like a kid"
Associate Professor Tachibana
Moyashimon, a manga by Ishikawa Masayuki

2025-04-09 15:53:55 GMT

#WritersCoffeeClub #Writing 9 How much room for the fantastical is there in your work?
All the room it likes, and more if needed, thanks to magic, negative space, and many "judgements for protection" against the laws of physics, thanks to the most basic principle in the universe: the ever present corruption…=)
In this WiP magic is treated by those in the know as part of the infrastructure, like water, electricity, sewage, transportation, etc., and as "something to be ignored" by the rest…=)

2025-04-09 15:47:54 GMT

#WordWeavers #Writing 9 What's the most prevalent form of communication in your world besides talking face-to-face?
Same as ours, but with a more or less higher preference on videocalls, mostly because thanks the more advanced yet hidden tech there, most people use their avatars in said calls instead of their own faces, and those avatars facial movement are 100% in sync with the user, so it just looks cool. And there's *A LOT* of landlines and public phones still in use, for untold reasons…=)

2025-04-08 15:45:39 GMT

#PennedPossibilities #Writing 638 Is your SC more introverted or extroverted? Or do they fall somewhere in the middle?
Laura: It depends on context
The Old Hag: Mostly extrovert
Maistro: Uncomfortably/indecently extrovert,
Loren: Mostly introvert
The Still Unnamed Daughter: More extro than intro
Don Pepe: Extrovert to the point of other people telling "I don't know him"
Dr. Apocalypse: It depends on context
Standard Bodied™ people "tend to extrovert", whether they like it or not…>=)

#WordWeavers #Writing 3 Is it easy for you to kill characters? When is it the right thing to do?
Yep. I love my characters (specially the bad guys), but when the moment to pull the plug comes, unplug them I do. I'm 3V1L, remember? =)
Besides, my multiverse retroactively includes every single thing I've written, so if I *REALLY* want to bring back someone from death, I have more than a few ways to do it including magic, M4D 5C13NC3 or simple multiversal copies…=)

What they told you were an once in your life opportunity became a lifetime job with the stress of the King's neurosurgeon and the health plan of a convenience store clerk. With a very good paycheck, but your life is as cheap as the things you sometimes have to steal for the Boss. And you'll go from here to there and back in time, space, and more…

2025-03-29 19:15:57 GMT

#WritersCoffeeClub #Writing 29 How do you handle foreshadowing? How do you navigate building up to the 'big reveal'?
I prefer retcons…=)
Foreshadowing (sort of) imply planing, and beyond the worldbuilding needed to have a place where things happen, I'm a pantser. Sometimes I remember I wrote X somewhere and then I'll invent something to follow that idea. That many of my characters have the same dreams and memories of things/places they didn't lived is one example of this…=)

2025-03-15 17:27:16 GMT

#WritersCoffeeClub #Writing 15 Are you aware of any fanfiction about your work?
No, and I would be honored to discover some. I wouldn't read it for fear of being accused of stealing someone's ideas, but I'd of course read it to steal any idea I can…>=)

2025-02-27 15:31:50 GMT

#WritersCoffeeClub #Writing 27 Post an image which reflects the tone of your WIP.
This thing is mostly about the characters, and Our Hero and Laura are the main suspects. They're always fighting, to the point of she trying to kill him when she can. Yet she's always there when he needs her. And vice versa, but he never harm her and he's the one on IC at the end of the day thanks to her…>=)
So here's Rock and Revy from Black Lagoon, which, of course, inspired some of that…=)

#PennedPossibilities #Writing 584 What is Dear Villain's legacy? What do they want to be remembered for and what might they actually be remembered for?
—Torres want to left us a country where people doesn't have fear of being killed when going to the store. Where women can dress as they want without fear of being accosted. Where criminals wet themselves for fear of committing a crime. And he will be remembered for doing that. And for, incredibly, being a world class bigot, too…

—People don't get time travel. You can't go to your past. Depending on how good's your aim, you'll end-up in a past similar to your own, and that's it. You'll change that timeline, too. Just by being there things will be different from what could have been. It won't not branch into a new one. Want to fix your past? Sorry. You'll fix the past of the "you" from that timeline. Yours will stay the same.
—But…
—No buts, my friend. That's how things are.

2024-08-10 16:01:49 GMT

#PennedPossibilities #Writing 402 Is your MC confident in themselves?
—Yes and no. Our Hero can be a really self-confidence master but only if he's unaware of this. If he's fully aware of what he's doing, he'll become a nervous wreck. And as long as he believe he's in control of the situation, he can be this confident. As he was in his "previous" life, as he calls it. Right now, it's a miracle he hasn't melted into a puddle of fear and uncertainty…

2024-08-10 15:51:26 GMT

#WordWeavers #Writing 10 Who is the most difficult character to write? Why?
I always have trouble writing teenagers and kids. So, in this case, it's Loren, a very fluid genderfluid 15yo kid that sometimes behaves as if they were 10, and the rest of the time too, with a few moments when they're more mature than the adults (including the 2.8+ biillon years old Old Hag) =)
This kid has lots of energy, and talks as if they were paid to, so there's lots of "!", which can be tiring to read…=)

2024-08-08 16:02:42 GMT

#PennedPossibilities #Writing 400 Where does your villain prefer to sleep?
—Torres's crazy. He hasn't come home in 2 years. I know he'd like to sleep on his bed, but he says he can't. Not until "my mission's complete", whatever that means. And here's the best part: he has a bedroom in his office but never use it. He sleeps in a couch he has there when he doesn't fall asleep on the his desk. And that's only *IF* the ten thousand pills a day he takes let him sleep. Insane, right?

#PennedPossibilities #Writing 379 As a writer, are there any lines that you simply will not cross?
Besides the yellow line at the subway platform, the line I won't cross is that of describing child abuse, as in "on screen". It can happen in story, but it's only mentioned, as are the reaction of those involved in the investigation. People will read the police reports, but no one will say aloud what they read. Other kinds of violence may appear, depending on the story, but not this. Never.

#PennedPossibilities #Writing 369 How do your characters express romantic love?
—They all go from bad to worse. One will sprout "romantic" words like a maniac. The other will try to seduce with the sluttiest lingerie. Another one will try with gifts, and so on. Only Don Pepe seem to know how to do it, and that's because he has so much experience. And Our Hero? That guy's a *REAL* mess…

Here we have a dude who has an incredibly variable personality. Sometimes it's a comedian, sometimes a moody teen, sometimes an hysterical drama queen. Sometimes more. Most of the time less. But this dude is always changing, adapting to the current events of the past, to the memories of the future, and to the dark predictions of the present…

#WordWeavers #Writing 22 Could your MC manage keeping plants alive?
Yes. If he wanted. In his old life (⸘‽) he had plants in his apartment, and he cared for them. Now he don't want any kind of attachment, so he wouldn't even try to have anyone or anything depending on him. Sadly that's not what he gets…>=)

#WritersCoffeeClub #Writing 21 Can one use arcane verbiage in one's prose, or must one's saga embody only elementary text?
Yes, of course one should be able to use any word one wishes to use in one's own writings. If one's characters talks like that, or one's narrator talks like that, why not?
I have a character from one story that likes to use European Spanish words just for fun, for example, and those sound weird for many of us on this side of the sea…=)

#WritersCoffeeClub #Writing 07 What do you do first when you start a new writing project?
I say to myself "Oh, no…not again…"
Then I write. It can be a scene, a character description, a plot thread, worldbuilding, a simple or "complex" idea, a more or less faithful description of the dream that spawned the new project, etc…
Then I repeat to myself "Oh, no…not again…"
=)

#PennedPossibilities #Writing 335 Do you use metaphors in your writing? What are some examples?
Yep. I love to use metaphors. Curiously, I use them more in the narration than in the actual dialogue. But some characters, like Laura, use them frequently. She likes to compare Our Hero to ridiculous things things, as in "This idiot's louder than an exploding orchestra", or "that dumbass eats more than a vegan castaway" =)

#TimeTravelAuthors #Writing 20 Whatever
Imagine being left in a planet with no liquid water. You have to find a plant (?) that looks like the child of a cactus and a fever-induced eldritch abomination, which burns your skin if you touch it, open it and eat whatever the thing that's inside it to get water in your body. Then you have to run so the people (?) caring for those plants don't eat you.
Maistro experienced this once, when he tried to escape from the time-ship. He learned the lesson…

Not exactly. Our Hero's slightly "special" in his musical tastes. He only like a few of Meat Loaf's songs, like that one. But, what the hell does that illiterate knows? =)

What one event in your life would you like to have a second chance at?
—That's interesting. There are lots of things I'd like to have done differently. In this case, I wouldn't have knocked out my father that day when I encountered him in the street. I'd have put him in intensive care. What he did to us, to my mother, deserved more than a hook to the jaw. Other than that, I'd have run with the rest of the people, instead of towards the terrorist…

They traveled so far away from their small town, near the coast. Their first sight of the capital left them speechless. She was 10 years older than her brother, and, since their parents worked all day, she was essentially her brother's mother. A hard job for a 16 year old girl. They went to the city to meet with her father, a traveling technician. Her brother was so mesmerized by the city that he wanted to cry. Shout. Run. But more than anything, he wanted to piss…

#WritersCoffeeClub 04 : Beverage and snack of choice when writing?
Diet coke or water. More water than diet coke now. Doctor's orders. I never eat anything when I write. It distracts me. Once upon a time it was either doritos nachos (the original recipe, I believe), or any oreos-like cookies, any flavor. But that's in the past. Doctor's orders, too. Damn heart attacks. They don't left you anything good…

Alice always felt different, and not in a nice way. She had visions of other places, other times. She once saw an explosion destroying her city, and a week later it happened. She was in other country at the time. It always happen like that. But this time is worse. She saw herself on the floor, cut in half. Wires, mechanical and electronic pieces flowing from both halves trying to reconnect. And a man at her side, whispering. "It's over, Miss. Destroyer".

Where is that? I want to go live there. All my friends say I'm inhuman/unnatural, so "humanity" is not a problem…=)

#WritingWonders 20: Does your villain ever cry or show sadness?
Being the fanatic patriot he is, Gen. Torres cry when he reads the daily reports of the country's status. That makes him feel sad.
But seeing his son being used as a shooting target made him cry, scream, get furious, and what's next. And it was his fault for forcing him to go with him. His son got 350 bullets in his body, yet he survived. The Old Hag and Maistro did save him, and that got him even more furious…>=)

Julie is a gifted artist. She paints what she see in her dreams. And her dreams are explosions of color. But some of these paints depict things that people find… troubling. In her last exhibition she put on display the portrait of an alien she dreamed. The title was "Our future". A pic was seen by one of the UFO experts at Area51. Panic was nothing compared to what they feet. The alien in the painting was the one they've been studying since 1947…
