No, I never hide the truth about who I am (cause it´s part of me) Don´t be - sorry - cause that´s who made me the girl I am today and even I am not perfect I have learnt a lot. My mom is amazing XD She is always there to listen my crazy stories or stuff even if she doesn´t understand. I know she´ll give me her support in everything. Yes! Well, that´s the second reason why I write. There are stories that need to be tell. There are people that are worth writting them a story. And sometimes I get crazy cause I have many stories to tell but writting a book is not so easy. I have to wait to tell some stories. That´s why now I´m trying to write poems. They´re faster but you can put the same intensity. What do you remember from your childhood? Is there somebody that has marked your life? Yeah, I get that.

I wanted to write about art - and characters like you, who love it, but haven't had the easiest time. I think that was the biggest inspiration. you should never be sorry for telling the truth.

So is not...you know. About the art itself, it is my mom´s fault. She signed up me for piano lessons when I had 4 years old. Then it was painting, dancing, choir, guitar, etc. I think that art has been part of my entire life. Anyway, I love Pablo Neruda too. Poetry, for me, is hard to read but the way he uses words - like you - it feels smooth. I think that I have to live more to understand some things... I know is going to be difficult and I keep hearing people saying : "You are going to die of hunger". That´s why I have to be strong. Here in Mexico, they don´t give writers many opportunities. And, yes, If you say that you want to be a writer, they look at you like "Are you nuts?". Now you see why I cried with Graffiti Moon. My life hasn´t been so good just like Poet or Shadow. But I guess, that´s why I write (Sorry for opening my heart). Next question: What inspired you to write Graffiti Moon? Hahaha, well *blush* …In fact, I have been writting for 2 years.

I love the way he uses language. I didn't start writing till I was about thirty - some articles in the paper and then the Gracie books. I wasn't like you, texting poetry and having the guts to get into art :) I wish I had been like that. At the moment I’m reading my way through the captains verses – Pablo Neruda.

You´re writting...Well what I mean is that YOU ARE WRITTING another book. Sorry but I just read the questions and discover this so I´m excited. Take your time. I always say: Inspiration comes when it comes. I would say that I´m hoping to read it but to much pressure on you. That´s why I don´t make promises about posting a new chapter on my blog, because sometimes I don´t have time because of school or just I don´t have inspiration. And I like to do things well. That means writting with inspiration - feeling the words from the bottom of your soul. Oh my gosh! You´re writting…Well what I mean is that YOU ARE WRITTING another book.
