[vc_row el_class=”margin-bottom-2x”][vc_column][vc_column_text]These are some of the most frequently asked questions I get at conferences or in letters. Before\u00a0writing to me<\/a>, read them! They might answer some of your questions! I\u2019d also like to expand this section and include other questions that I get asked a lot. I know you all have loads of questions for me \u2013at least that\u2019s what I make of all the letters you send me\u2013, but sometimes they get repeated so I\u2019ve included them here[\/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion shape=”square” color=”white” c_icon=”triangle” active_section=”999999″ no_fill=”true” collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”What do you have to do to be a writer?” tab_id=”1″][vc_column_text]Write a lot. And read even more. I started to write at eleven, and I was 21 when I was first published. That was my fourteenth novel. All the others stayed in the drawer.<\/p>\n

Of course, not every writer has to wait till their fourteenth novel to get published. For most of them, it\u2019s their third, fourth or fifth, sometimes even their second, but very few publish their first. So, if you want to be a writer, don\u2019t obsess about getting your first book published. It probably won\u2019t be as good as your second book, the second won\u2019t be as good as the third, because you learn as you go along and improve with practice. As no one is born knowing how to write, I think it\u2019s down to hard work and patience rather than talent.<\/p>\n

But, over all, every aspiring writer also needs to be passionate about writing. Because they will probably have to write hundreds of pages before they get published. If they like writing, they\u2019ll keep on going, regardless of whether they are published or not. If they don\u2019t like it, if they find it difficult, they\u2019ll get tired and bored, and they\u2019ll give up at the first hurdle.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t give you any miraculous formulae that will make you a successful writer, help you win a competition or get your first novel published. You need to work hard to do that, as you do for anything else. Read a lot, write a lot, be humble and be ready to accept criticism that can help you improve. Don\u2019t let fear stop you in your tracks. What if I\u2019m not talented? What if my book is no good? Let\u2019s see, it\u2019s your first book, so it\u2019s not very likely that you\u2019ve written a masterpiece, get used to the idea. That doesn\u2019t mean that you have to give up, quite the opposite. The more you write, the better you will be. There may well be a genius born sometimes, but you can\u2019t take it for granted that you are a genius. The majority of us have to make do with managing to be good professionals. That is no easy feat and it is achieved with hard work and dedication.<\/p>\n

To sum up: if you like writing, just write. Becoming a professional writer takes time and effort, but you like writing, so where\u2019s the problem? If you don\u2019t like writing\u2026 why are you reading this?[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Where do ideas come from?” tab_id=”2″][vc_column_text]It depends on the person. Some authors are inspired by their own experiences, others by things they have been told, others by stories they read in newspapers, others by everything they read\u2026<\/p>\n

What you do need to bear in mind is that an idea is not the same as a story. A story is like a puzzle formed by many different ideas. You may have an idea at the beginning, for a character, for a place\u2026 but that is just the first piece in the puzzle. So it\u2019s not just a matter of inspiration. It is true that there are some authors who start with one initial idea and then improvise, but I don\u2019t recommend that if you want to create a solid plot and rounded characters. Don\u2019t just wait for ideas to come to you. You can gather many pieces of the puzzle, but they won\u2019t fit together by themselves. You need to think and find the best way to fit them together, and nobody can do that for you, not even inspiration. It doesn\u2019t matter if you have to discard good ideas because they don\u2019t fit into the plot. It\u2019s better to keep these pieces, as good as they may seem, for future projects, rather than put them into the story even if they don\u2019t fit in well.<\/p>\n

If you write fantasy, many of your ideas will come from your imagination. To keep it in good shape, it is especially important to read a lot and think a lot too. Don\u2019t worry if your stories seem similar to others you have read. That\u2019s what usually happens in the beginning. If you write a book in which you can tell that you admire a certain author a great deal in every paragraph, it\u2019s not very likely that it will get published, but don\u2019t worry: that is part of your training. You start by imitating other people, almost always unconsciously, until, as you become more widely read, have experiences and reflect on them, you end up finding your own style. A writer is not original because he tells stories that nobody else has told. He is original because he tells them from a different point of view. You will be a writer with your own personality when you have you own way of seeing the world. That will be reflected in your stories, so, however clich\u00e9d the plot of one of your novels may seem, it is the way you tell it, your personal vision of these topics, your way of reflecting on them, or bringing them to life, that will make the work original.<\/p>\n

If you want to write, but you don\u2019t have any ideas, write about things you know about or which have happened to you. Write a diary, a blog, or whatever, it doesn\u2019t matter if nobody reads it, it doesn\u2019t matter if you only write it for yourself. Every page you write will be another page of practice in which you will be trying to find the best way of writing your feelings and your thoughts, and that\u2019s why it won\u2019t be a waste of time. That way, when you do have a good idea and you are able to develop it until it becomes a good story, you will also be able to put it down on paper in a satisfactory manner. So you should write even if you don\u2019t have any ideas. If you don\u2019t, if you wait for that great story, you might make a hash of it simply because you don\u2019t know how to write it.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What do you need to do to get a book published?” tab_id=”3″][vc_column_text]First of all, write it. If you have only planned it, or have just started it, first worry about finishing it rather than about what you are going to do when you it is finished. Don\u2019t run before you can walk!<\/p>\n

Next, check you work very carefully to make sure there are no mistakes. Then you will have to contact a publishing house. Find one that publishes the same kind of books you write. Many of them even provide instructions on their websites on how to send manuscripts. Each publisher has different conditions, so find out first. You can send a copy of your work to a publishing house or an agent, or take part in a literary competition. There are many options, but each publishing house, agent or competition works differently, so you should find out what they want in each case. Send your work and then be patient! They often take a long time to respond, and it\u2019s also not easy to get published the first time. If they reject the book, keep trying! The more you write, the better you will be.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What advice would you give to someone who wants to be a writer?” tab_id=”4″][vc_column_text]1) Read a lot, read everything. A writer is made on the basis of reading other writers.<\/p>\n

2) Write a lot. Nobody is born knowing how to write, and practice makes perfect.<\/p>\n

3) If you don\u2019t like what you write, don\u2019t lose heart. You\u2019ll do it better next time. Keep what you write, even if you don\u2019t think it\u2019s any good. After a while, with a bit of perspective, you\u2019ll be able to see what you\u2019re doing wrong and correct it.<\/p>\n

4) If they don\u2019t publish your first novel, be patient. That doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re a bad writer, just that you are learning and you need to improve.<\/p>\n

5) Do you get writer\u2019s block halfway through? That\u2019s what happens when you start to write without having a clear idea of everything! Think very carefully about what you are going to do. Think about it long and hard before you write. Make outlines, plan the structure of the story, know the characters well. Writing a book is like building a house, no architect starts without plans.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”How did you start to write? How did you get published?” tab_id=”5″][vc_column_text]I started writing when I was ten years old. At that time, I was already devouring books, and I liked to imagine that I was experiencing the adventures in the worlds of the stories I was reading. I started writing stories, and when I was 11, I started my first novel together with a school friend. It took us three years to finish that first book. At 13, I was sure I wanted to be a writer. At 14, I had finished my first novel, and I started sending it to publishing houses and competitions. I didn\u2019t have any luck. Neither did I have any with the second novel I wrote (this time on my own), nor with the third, nor with the fourth\u2026 over the next few years I continued to write books and stories and take part in competitions. Yes, I did lose hope in being published one day, but that didn\u2019t make me stop writing, because I love writing. As I was always writing, I was always sending things in to competitions\u2026 and so, at the age of 21, my novel\u00a0Finis Mundi<\/em>\u00a0won the Barco de Vapor Children and Young Adult Literature award. I had taken part in that competition several times, but I had never had any luck until then.\u00a0Finis Mundi<\/em>\u00a0was actually my fourteenth book (the thirteen previous ones were not published), but it became the first novel to be published. Since then I haven\u2019t stopped :-).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Is there going to be a film based on one of your books?” tab_id=”6″][vc_column_text]No, not at the moment. Besides, if there was a producer interested in making one of my books into a film, I would have to think about it a lot. It is not so simple to show everything in a book in a film, and books are very special to me. They would have to guarantee that they would do it well, with resources, with love, and that they would be faithful to the book. That\u2019s not so easy![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Are you going to write a sequel to one of your books?” tab_id=”7″][vc_column_text]The books that needed sequels have already been finished. Those were\u00a0Memorias de Idh\u00fan <\/em>and Guardianes de la Ciudadela, <\/em>which are both trilogies, and Cr\u00f3nicas de la Torre<\/em>, which also consists of three books, plus another related book, called\u00a0Fenris, el Elfo<\/em>. The series\u00a0Sara y las Goleadoras<\/em>\u00a0is in six parts, and\u00a0Alas de Fuego<\/em>\u00a0is continued with\u00a0Alas Negras<\/em>. Other than that, none of them is going to have more parts.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”If I send you a letter, will you reply?” tab_id=”8″][vc_column_text]I answer all the letters I receive personally strictly in the order they arrive. That is why it takes me such a long time to reply. So yes, I will reply, but you must be patient, because you know it will take a while to get an answer. It is important that you write your address very clearly and completely so that I can reply (normal postal address. I cannot reply to emails). If you are going to change address soon, send me the new address or wait until you have moved before you write to me. Bear in mind that I will probably take some months to write to you and the letter might not reach you then. For the same reasons, don\u2019t write to me about anything urgent, because obviously my letter will get there too late.<\/p>\n

You can find my postal address here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Also remember that I can only reply to letters written in Spanish and English. I can\u2019t speak French, or German or any other language. Sorry \ud83d\ude41 .<\/p><\/blockquote>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”When are more of your books going to be published in my country?” tab_id=”1528709565486-38d0f0dc-2cbe”][vc_column_text]I don\u2019t know, and it actually doesn\u2019t depend on me. My books are first published in Spanish, and then the publishing houses in other countries decide whether to have them translated or not. Sometimes they purchase the rights to one of my books, but they take a long time to publish it. There have even been times when the books have not actually been published at all. Not all of my work is available in every language, but you can find\u00a0some of\u00a0my books in English<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0many other languages<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”How do you come up with so many ideas?” tab_id=”1528709608477-a567a784-8f1d”][vc_column_text]I have been writing and inventing stories since I was a little girl, so I\u2019ve had a lot of practice. I also read a lot: over one hundred books a year. As you can see, my imagination is very well fed, and it is a constant source of ideas. However, ideas don\u2019t just pop into your head. Sometimes you have to look for them. When you do find them, they don\u2019t just slip into place themselves to form a coherent plot. That\u2019s what you have to do by thinking, going over things in your head\u2026 You have to let ideas and stories mature, give them time. It is not instantaneous nor pure inspiration. A story is like a puzzle with many pieces. The first piece might come to you by itself, but a writer\u2019s job is not to wait until inspiration arrives. You have to look for the other pieces, and then you have to put them together patiently until you obtain something that makes sense. In short, I don\u2019t just \u201ccome up with\u201d stories: I build them.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Where do you get the names of your characters from?” tab_id=”1528709634160-e7dfc8bf-1536″][vc_column_text]It depends on the story and the character. In the fantasy books which take place in other worlds, I usually invent them. In other cases, it depends on the country the character comes from. For example,\u00a0The Legend of the Wandering King<\/em>\u00a0takes place in Arabia, and, therefore, the characters have Arabic names (Walid, Hammad, Amir, Zahra\u2026).\u00a0La hija de la noche<\/em>\u00a0takes place in France, and, therefore, the characters have French names (Maximilien, Isabelle, Jer\u00f4me, etc.). Sometimes the names are inspired by mythology (Fenris, Astaroth, Bran, Morderek\u2026). Other times, I form names by changing other names around in my head until they become new words.<\/p>\n

My theory is that every character has to have a name that matches where they come from, and if they come from an invented world, the name should be invented as well. If I invent a name, I try to make it simple and easy to pronounce. Although these are the rules I use now, I haven\u2019t always followed them. For example, in\u00a0Cr\u00f3nicas de la Torre<\/em>, the characters\u2019 names have various origins. Whilst the elves\u2019 names are all invented (Ankris, Shi-Mae, Nawin\u2026), the human names are not very common Spanish names (Conrado, Jon\u00e1s, Iris, Hugo), and some later use mythological names (Fenris and Morderek). Finally, others are names I read somewhere and liked (Dana, Maritta, Aonia). At the moment, I am trying to be less incongruous in the onomatology of the books I write.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Do you write by hand or with a computer?” tab_id=”1528709659908-44b6a0e3-802e”][vc_column_text]When I started to write, I wrote by hand and then I typed up my stories, because I didn\u2019t have a computer (and I didn\u2019t have one until I was 20). As it wasn\u2019t easy to make any corrections with the typewriter, I had to write by hand first, correct on paper, and then type it up. When information technology finally caught up with me, I took a while to decide to write my books directly onto the computer (in fact, I still have the handwritten originals of books such as\u00a0Finis Mundi<\/em>,\u00a0The Valley of the Wolves<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0The Legend of the Wandering King<\/em>). Now I write directly on the computer, because it\u2019s more practical, but I miss writing by hand. That\u2019s why I handwrite replies to my letters, and, sometimes, if I\u2019m not in a hurry, I still write some of my novels on paper, as I did with\u00a0La emperatriz de los et\u00e9reos.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Do you draw the covers to your books yourself?” tab_id=”1528709740445-34194e52-c0b6″][vc_column_text]Of course not! I\u2019m not very good at drawing. The covers and illustrations to my books are done by professional illustrators. I have a lot of contact with some of them, and others, by contrast, prefer to do their own thing. That is why the book covers do not always show the characters or the situations exactly as I imagined them. Every illustrator has their own view of the story.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Out of all the books you have published, which is your favourite?” tab_id=”1528709775549-525c9949-1ba8″][vc_column_text]My favourite is\u00a0Memorias de Idh\u00fan<\/em>, because it is a story that has been with me for a large part of my life (I started to imagine it when I was 14). I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s the best, I think people who are more objective than I am will have to decide that, but it\u2019s the book I care about the most.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Why do you write for young people?” tab_id=”1528709792763-a515de05-5776″][vc_column_text]The short and sweet answer would be: \u201cBecause young people have a right to read too\u201d. Although that\u2019s true, it\u2019s actually a bit more complex and less romantic. The fact is, when I write my books I don\u2019t think about the age of the people who are going to read them. I write above all what I would like to read, and, surprisingly, I end up connecting with teenagers. I say it\u2019s surprising because I stopped being that age a long time ago. However, it\u2019s a fact that, although I write what I like, my readers are mainly aged between 10 and 18. I am very proud of that, because I have always thought that someone aged 13 or 14 is no less a person or less a reader than an adult.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Is there a second and a third part to Memorias de Idh\u00fan?” tab_id=”1528709817856-84fcd69b-1014″][vc_column_text]Yes,\u00a0Memorias de Idh\u00fan<\/em>\u00a0is a trilogy. The second part is called\u00a0Memorias de Idh\u00fan II: Tr\u00edada<\/em>, and the third\u00a0Memorias de Idh\u00fan III: Pante\u00f3n.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Will there be a fourth part to Memorias de Idh\u00fan?” tab_id=”1528709833857-514f9eab-e6a8″][vc_column_text]No, not at all. As I said earlier,\u00a0Memorias de Idh\u00fan<\/em>\u00a0is a trilogy. There are three parts, full stop. All the questions raised in the first book were solved in the second and third part, and the future of new characters or possible new stories does not form part of this trilogy\u2019s main plot. [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section]\n[vc_tta_section title=”Will there be a series of Memorias de Idh\u00fan<\/em>?” tab_id=”1528709895261-4fab0cda-5312″][vc_column_text] Yes! There is an animated series on Netflix called The Idhun Chronicles<\/em>. It is an anime based mostly on the graphic novels<\/a> created by Estudio F\u00e9nix<\/a>. There are available two season on Netflix, adapting the first book of the trilogy: The Resistance<\/em>. Unfortunately, the project has been cancelled and there won’t be more seasons, so the story, which is already complete in the books and the graphic novel adaptation, will remain incomplete in the animated series.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section]\n[vc_tta_section title=”Will the Idhun trilogy be translated into English?” tab_id=”1528709872181-be67ce95-02b4″][vc_column_text]Not for now, but I always love to see my work translated into different languages!

As with the film, if you have seen advertisements or comments on the Internet, they probably refer to homemade video games produced by fans, with RPG Maker or similar. There is a\u00a0Memorias de Idh\u00fan<\/em>\u00a0game (available in Spain and Germany), but it\u2019s a board game, not a video game.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section]\n[vc_tta_section title=”Are the characters based on real people?” tab_id=”1528709926966-3205a179-5126″][vc_column_text]No, they are all invented.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Who do you prefer, Jack or Kirtash?” tab_id=”1528709951790-663cd204-e280″][vc_column_text]I like them both.
