Please share your thoughts on the future of literature. I believe that if we turn again to children to inculcate in them the good habit of reading and writing with awareness programmes including communities, its value may be restored as it was in ancient times.
When do you start writing? Actually since I was eight years old, writing poetry was my dimensional refuge and an escape from my environment back then.
The Good and Bad of writing. The good thing about writing is that you bring out everything you have inside you, it’s a therapy, plus you get to various latitudes; the bad thing about writing is to promulgate concepts and ideas that lead to the worsening of society. Who is winning nowadays? The false publishers who take advantage of the needs of writers, when you don’t have the money to publish, it’s terrible.
How many books have you written? Currently, several works, but in the market is published my star novel: LA JAULA DE LAS MARIPOSAS (THE BUTTERFLY CAGE), with a dramatic tone, stories of brave and special girls, I have also participated in several international anthologies of poetry and narrative. And where can we find your books? Amazon and Autoreseditores.com Colombia.
The book, how do you prefer it, electronic or hardcover? On paper it’s a wonderful feeling, it’s a friend who is there to accompany you at certain times. What will be the future? I hope that the paper book doesn’t disappear, although they want to impose the electronic book.
A wish for 2024, to publish my poetry book, and to finish other literary projects that are about to come out, and to continue growing in this magical world of letters, but generating positive things among my readers, thank you.
