Spain’s thriller machine (Reina Roja) and a generous teacher of the craft. What stuck with me from his writing course: inspiration starts your novel, but only method finishes it; write from the story, knowing the rules of your genre (Cervantes knew his chivalry novels, it shows); enter late and leave early, like the dinosaur microstory; and to “how do I know if people will like it?” the only answer is I don’t care, the first reader you must please is yourself. A escribir se aprende escribiendo.
