Powerful and inspiring! I always doubt my writing and editing over and over. Sometimes, I feel invisible, but I remember I am doing what my heart says. My heart says, “Write.” Thank you for sharing.

Hi Raquel! :)

It's happened to all of us, you're not the only one. There are always moments when you are in the dark, alone in the room in front of the blank page and you feel invisible. But in the end, with quality work and perseverance, you can get very far.

Good luck with your project :)

Hi Álvaro, I know I am not alone in how I've sometimes felt in writing. Feeling invisible comes along with writing, but there is always someone who sees you. Thanks for the encouragement. Have a good week. ☀️

Thank you for this article on Marquez. I have One Hundred Years of Solitude sitting on my stack of BTBR. Now I can understand the man behind the book and will enjoy it much more.

Hi Sue! :)

Well, you know, he is one of the most important authors in Spanish and I think that his culminating work is worthwhile. One Hundred Years of Solitude is frequently read in secondary school classes in Spain.

I look forward to reading it next. I'm almost finished with Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes.
