Join me each episode while I podcast my quest to become a published author.Some topics that will show up in the podcast are:-Languages and Linguistics (especially  about Spanish and English).-The struggles of writing in your second language.-Literature (genres and styles that have grabbed my attention)-Writing techniques, rituals and routines.-Seeking publication.-Curation of resources: books, blogs, podcasts, films, websites, apps, talks and more (because in the era of information excess, curation is such a valuable gift).If that sounds like what you need to hear right now, press play and embark with me in an exophonic creative journey!
