No, absolutely not, writing doesn't have to be like a jigsaw puzzle, it can be a very linear undertaking.

Puns are a form of humor with words.

I think that like all writers - and if any writer disagrees with this, then he is not a writer - I write primarily for myself

I describe my works as books, but my publishers in Spain, in the United States, and elsewhere insist on calling them novels

I do not consider myself a Hispanic writer.

That is what I define as a novel: something that has a beginning, a middle and an end, with characters and a plot that sustain interest from the first sentence to the last. But that is not what I do at all.

I do not believe in inspiration, but I must have a title in order to work, otherwise I am lost
