Love ain’t so far away
Cuddly balled on my bed. Small as well as silent. She remains my kin, Unless a fire. My friend, Unless earthquake. And my one, Unless my death.

Prepararte para escribir ficción p2
A grandes rasgos, exige examinar un evento a incluir en la historia desde seis puntos de vista distintos: descripción del evento (¿qué?), comparación (no es como o es como), asociación (¿gasto?¿vestidos formales?), analiza los elementos, aplica (¿cómo o para qué se usa? y evalúa. Algo así como la investigación a fondo sobre un detalle en particular para darle credibilidad al asunto.

¿Cómo escribir ficción? (advertencia: no contiene imágenes)
. Tenemos la Historia, así con mayúscula, que se ocupa de las cosas “reales” y las historias, que se ocupan de las cosas imaginarias o inventadas. ¿Cierto?

Poemoji?
Those are poemojis by Dante Tercero. WHY THIS ENTRY AND WHAT POEMOJIS ARE? That day, that day was Friday and I had a guest from Zacatecas, A book keeper called Lourdes who loves writing and who also has done a bit of poemojing. Which, as you can see, is a sort of graphic poetry done using emojis. It was started by a young transgender writer called Dante Tercero; who was granted a National Trust for Fine arts and Culture (we in Mexico used to know it as FONCA) scholarship in 2016, given to creative young people. Such a project, published by the publishing house Tiempo que resta, was warmly received by… the…

Possibilities
I met a white wall.It wasn't that tall.It had sparkling eyes.Thinking what to write on it,I ended asking things.The wall,politely replied back.It made no question on regard.I was confused and awed.Was I to be changed?Were my colours to be tainted?Or had it already ended at hi?

¿Cuándo hay que virar de pensamiento?
«Pero ¿por qué actuó Taylor en la película, si había reconocido la propaganda comunista?» «Porque el jefe de propaganda fílmica de la Oficina de Información de Guerra del gobierno federal le había pedido que actuara.Lo que hacía la película era retratar a un aliado valiente que sonreía a nuestro lado en la guerra contra Hitler. ««Entonces, ¿por qué el arrepentimiento, si estaba respondiendo a una petición de su propio gobierno?»«Porque se supone que uno debe prever los cambios de política del gobierno; alinearse con lo nuevo, rechazar lo viejo y agradecer la oportunidad de arrepentirse:…» Tiempo de canallas. Lillian Hellman Como verán, el comunismo no fue el único régimen en…

Why are comics and poems alike 7: closure
If you take a look at a circle missing a little bit of the whole perimeter line, your brain will do the rest and you will perceive the shape as a full circle. Whether there is no circle in a way that is called closure in Gestalt and might not be related to the usual closure talked about in Literature circles. This idea of closure brings up symbolic relationships used by the images of the poem that most of us know as metaphor and metonymies. This last one as in the one where the reader does the closure job and is very similar to “the part for the whole”

It was over from before
And so discarded the reply went by.Was it my questions?Was clarification needed?Or too much info poured? Whom, may I inquire.Whom may I return to, without fire? I dreamed a dragon,Once more.And once more smoke I grasped. Fuel is none.And with the flow I lull the love once I dreamed about.Only youth survives winter snores.

Cliché, imagen e interés
Por cierto, en esta clase de cosas existe la tendencia de mirar por encima del hombro del dibujante que está haciendo la cubierta y empezar a hablar sobre cuero, botas hasta los muslos y espadas desnudas.Adjetivos como «llenos», «redondos» e incluso «vivaces» empiezan a colarse en la narración hasta que el escritor tiene que darse una ducha fría y acostarse un rato.Lo cual es bastante estúpido, porque ninguna mujer que se gane la vida con su espada va a ir por ahí con aspecto de haberse escapado de un catálogo de lencería de esos que se envían por correo y en sobres discretos. La luz fantástica. Terry Pratchett. Es estúpido,…
