Sometimes there is a lot of paint left over…

Twelve is better than fourteen is bad. Yesterday I messed up with a double page spread (how does this sound). I like to make the pages or visualize them two by two, because when you turn a page, even if we don’t like it, you see the next two and although the reader does his…

The pages are falling. I’ve been wearing ten. It’s hard to get back in. Breaks make it difficult to get back on track. But hey, you have to sit down and take it easy. I’ve started with the easiest pages. In this way, I am learning to get along little by little and accumulating skill…

But in order to move forward, decisions have to be made. I’ve closed almost all the characters and yesterday I came face to face with…

In recent days, doubts have arisen. Perhaps the latest readings, Cyril Pedrosa and Jorge Gonzalez, have unleashed a feeling of not being up to the task. The traffic jam with the main character is multiplying time, when I still haven’t started to finish pages. If I do real calculations of how long it can take…
