I'm part guitarist, part coder, part writer. I've a tendency towards DIY and an interest in gaming and game development.

English is not my first language, but as good as.

I like communities and community driven projects... that's collective DIY, and I have and interest in that, too.

Mar 24	comment	How many writers use fountain pens/dip pens today? Spanish is my first language, too, but I can't bring myself to write sci-fi / fantasy in Spanish. Now, talk to me about realism and I can't bring myself to write in English most of the time. Quirks and perks of the trade, I guess.

Mar 23	comment	How many writers use fountain pens/dip pens today? I think we should be getting around to writing the tag wikis. Soon.
Mar 23	comment	How many writers use fountain pens/dip pens today? I think we've been using the "tools" tag to refer to software that aids in writing. Is this correctly tagged?

Mar 23	comment	Please help me polish this paragraph. Wouldn't that qualify this question as valid for the English SE site?
Mar 23	comment	“multiple personalities” for character development in writing? I think you mean for differentiation/fleshing out of characters. Multiple personalities as character development seems like a cool idea in psychology themed fiction, though.

Mar 23	comment	Is there a legitimate step by step guide to getting your book published? You don't need an agent for contacting publishers, although they might be able to do that. As far as agents are concerned, I'm not the best advice around... there's another question regarding what agents do and don't do for you, if you search for it. Anyway, just look for some company that publishes the sort of work you want to publish, and look around their sites. They want good books to reach them, so they will certainly be open.

Mar 22	comment	Is there a legitimate step by step guide to getting your book published? Reference seems to be used as in "Reference a book within my book". It'd be nice to write those tag wikis.

Mar 22	comment	Using the real world in writing Also, it is good to have common, day to day stuff mentioned in books. Imagine in a hundred, three hundred years. People could have an edition of the book with annotations, explaining that "Xerox" was a brand for a popular photocopying machine. And maybe even explaining what a "photocopy" is. People could be running to the Encyclopedia (or whatever source of information) to get a better picture of our time!
