Hi, everyone!
I know it\u2019s been a while since I last shared anything about \u201fNoches de Sombras\u201d. I know, I know\u2026 But you all know these past few months have been a bit complicated. Even so, I wanted to give you a quick update because I know some of you have been wondering what\u2019s going on with the book and the promised content updates.

>> By the way, here is a small article about what is and what is not Noches de Sombras (Nights of Shadows).<\/a>. There seem to have been some misunderstandings...<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

So, here\u2019s the deal:
Some time ago, I told you that I wrote this book really quickly<\/a>…
I wrote the draft in no time and, for the reasons I mentioned in the video, made the mistake of publishing it as it was. But when I went back to read it, I honestly wasn\u2019t entirely happy with the result.<\/p>

First Round: A month of tweaking<\/h5>

I gave it a first review, and it took me almost a month to work through it. I was adding bits here, cutting bits there\u2026 You know, the usual when you sit down to rewrite: you doubt, you change, you test, you discard, you change again\u2026 and on it goes.<\/p>

Second Round: Books aren\u2019t written, they\u2019re rewritten (and you try not to lose your mind along the way)<\/h5>

During Christmas, I said to myself: \"No, it\u2019s still not where I want it to be,\" and I gave it another round of revisions. Because, honestly, being a writer isn\u2019t just about writing books. Nope. Writing can be quick, but what truly makes a writer is rewriting, editing, rewriting again, editing some more\u2026 \ud83c\udf00
And so the cycle continues.<\/p>

Honestly, you can write a book in a month and then spend two or three years polishing it. I\u2019m not exaggerating (though I really hope this isn\u2019t the case with Noches de Sombras! \ud83d\ude05). So, that\u2019s where I\u2019ve been: back to editing, tweaking, diving a little deeper into some things here and there\u2026 Until I finally had to put a stop to myself because otherwise, I was going to be editing until next Christmas.<\/p>

Where am I now?<\/h5>

Right now, I\u2019m in the process of integrating all the changes I\u2019ve made. I\u2019m formatting everything, which is moving a bit slowly because if one thing doesn't break, something else does: the software, the computer... and to top it all off, my website is now acting up, so I'll have to spend a couple of days fixing it. This whole thing of writing and trying to get published, while also trying to connect with people on social media, is just one big non-stop party.<\/p>

But hey, the important thing is that we\u2019re making progress, and I hope I\u2019ll be able to share the revised digital version of the book with you very soon.
In the meantime, just a quick reminder that the previous version is still available on Amazon, and it\u2019s still at the launch price (99 cents), in case you\u2019re interested or want to gift it to someone. The nice thing about grabbing the book now is that you get a behind-the-scenes look at how a book evolves from its early versions to the final, polished product. \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>

New Projects: More Noches de Sombras Content\u2014But Audiovisual<\/h5>

I\u2019ve also got some exciting plans: I\u2019m thinking of starting a series of videos about \"Noches de Sombras\".<\/p>

Why? Well, honestly, because I really want to, and I think there\u2019s some super interesting content that can come to life in a bigger way through video. Videos have this advantage of being more dynamic than books, and I also feel like they open up more opportunities for interaction with all of you. So that\u2019s the plan: to bring back this format and give the stories, creatures, and places of Noches de Sombras a special spotlight.<\/p>

Thanks for your support<\/h6>

Thank you, as always, for your patience and for being there to support me.<\/p>

I hope you enjoyed this little update. If you have any questions or if there\u2019s anything you\u2019d like to know about Noches de Sombras, feel free to leave me a comment.<\/p>

Sending you all a big hug, and I hope you have a great day. \u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
