Fernando Gros's Blog

Over the years, I’ve tried all sorts of tips, tricks and ideas to become a better writer. I learned to touch-type, sort of. I lit a candle. Put on a hat. Burned incense. Recited affirmations. Drank more coffee, or none at all. A few things stuck. Mornings, solitude, quiet music, no distractions. But those might just be reflections of my personality rather than prescriptions I can offer the world.
