How High Should Your Cervix Be

Parador Contest

have long wanted to do something and finally I grabbed at the chance. I hope you do not let it pass and fellowship in this concursillo which now pose.

Yesterday, if you do not know, was the first public presentation of the book I am co-author along with ten other wonderful companions. Afternoon was unforgettable, despite the nerves and charged me a very special meaning, since I'm in this book a fluke: I came to the workshop by chance, looking for a publisher who was encouraged to publish a book of short stories I have kept safely in a drawer waiting for that to happen, I found the title with my fellow workshop began: "Tales of the Frog drunk. The stories are written on Thursday " editorial published with the Storytellers (title of which I have spoken before in this blog), the reading was very refreshing to me, but my biggest dream was to discover that in my own city in a neighborhood that I like and that best memories I keep, was a group of people who like me, passionate about writing and met every week for the creation of stories. Of course I thought about it and contacted them. I attended a class, and although it is true that I expected more criticism of style that was done there, that the end of the workshop was a face (I had been looking for months) and peers were so great, as authors especially as people, I stayed. The next week they told me several months ... They had been considering publishing a second book and wanted me to participate. Temptation was enormous, but I was a newcomer and did not consider it correct, then there was my desire to publish my book so secretly kept and both projects seemed incompatible ... But there was no way to convince them otherwise, and finally my name also appears under each of them and so the honor is twofold: for allowing me to participate in this wonderful crazy with them, making from the beginning a more and for giving me the opportunity to know them better through their writings. Believe me it is a pleasure to listen to what each machine and check on Thursday from a single issue stories come out as very diverse. This is a book that has much in one of us: a small kaleidoscope of different aromas and flavors that transports the reader to any place and moment in just a sigh. A wonderful trip with unknown authors invite you that you walk between the lyrics and you enjoy the scenery and each of the characters. I invite you to buy: "Riding with strangers."

And if you're the greatest adventurers ever dare to difficult challenges, gives you a chance to get it totally free if you are able to hit the two questions that will be raising a Once you've finished reading the following text (it's my contribution as of yesterday. My little bit to the presentation of the book in the library of Deusto : the place that gives us that creative space every Thursday and again yesterday trusted us cediéndonos the spotlight to present the book to the public). Read carefully, for in it there are clues to answer the two questions you can become the winner of a signed copy of the book. Do you dare to try?

My first word was neither "mama" or "dada" but "aba." And from that time whenever I was thirsty. A few days is simply water and others that feeling goes away, then from the back of my mind something I claim: in a first step letters, then phrases and then chained them in poems, stories or novels, but I know very well that I am worth for the latter .

Then, when that thirst which reaches its maximum, agrees that the world ceases to exist and I submit to the yoke of despotic god I know: paper. And at that moment, when my eyes wander up and down, left to right ... looking for memories, images or creating new ones with the solemn conviction that they are going in this life and the last breath.

write because I like it. And little I care at this creative fever that annoying and inevitable pain that will come back later, or eyestrain. Until I make up for sleepless nights. Write me free like my other passion: figure skating, even though both require getting a little more about me, till you drop. Selfishly I write because I need it ... and if he reads it enjoys it, the better. I love reading and to me is one of the best trips. So I write.

The letters on either side, ie, as a reader or writer apprentice can imagine as soon on the island of Java as browsing the Sargasso Sea, on that first voyage of Columbus to the Americas, on board the ship "Marigalante" later would become known as "Santa Maria" . And yes these two stories that machine now, I take borrowed partly because I believe that the best way to build unforgettable stories is learning from the great: his language, his pace or depth description of their characters ... makes me

In short: in the slightest of drops of water bursting from your eyes watery, in the darkest of angels in the beautiful Russian doll who aspires to escape the corner on the shelf, or in the controversial novelist who kills victims in the real world to tell their best-sellers in their modus operandi.

Write to me, is tantamount to breaking the sound barrier or find my twin soul. Is to unravel the mystery of the sweetest candy and want to keep intact on the palate ... Feel cat when in fact I have always preferred the dogs. Writing ... is closer to impossible.
