Born a Sagittarius in the fabulous year of the Rooster of ’69, at the hour when his cat was about to become a complete dragon, Gabbo de la Parra landed on the Caribbean Coast of the outlandish Republic of Panama to start the adventure of life.

Love and the Internet brought him to Middle Tennessee to embrace the American Dream and his husbandly romance. Writing has been an important part of his life since a very early age, and it’s a pleasure to share his stories with others thanks to the wonderful opportunities this land provides.

Gabbo cherishes Life with a southern gentleman in a townhouse (crowded with the spirits of his characters), close to a man-made lake and with their pets: street-smart Russian Blue Bella and rambunctious Rottweiler

I don't believe in writer's block.
I believe your mind is not focused on that particular thing in that moment.
Go do something else. Something fun. Watch a movie, eat pizza, get some alcohol in you. Don't force it.
I work with outlines, so I have an idea of what's going to happen in each chapter. Since I know what's supposed to happen in chapter 10, and not going to let chapter 5 defeat me. Knowing where you need to go is the best way to not let apparent roadblocks stop you. You could always take a side road. (less)

“Life gets in the way of Creativity, but it's up to us not to let it interfere more than necessary.”
Gabbo De La Parra

“I can handle Evil, but I cannot handle Anticipation.”
Gabbo De La Parra

“The problem with today’s world is that we’re so used to fucking labels we must identify as something, whatever, anything— but HUMANS.
The day we stop this obsession with male, female, black, white, godly, godless, conservative, liberal, gay, straight, rich, poor, and just call ourselves HUMANS, this desperate blue planet will become a better place for all.”
Gabbo De La Parra

“No one can outrun their heart.”
Gabbo De La Parra

“Love may be or it may not, but where it is, it ought to reveal itself in its immensity.”
Honore de Balzac

“Don't ask for something you're not willing to give.”
Gabbo De La Parra

“To admit authorities, however heavily furred and gowned, into our libraries and let them tell us how to read, what to read, what value to place upon what we read, is to destroy the spirit of freedom which is the breath of those sanctuaries. Everywhere else we may be bound by laws and conventions—there we have none.”
Virginia Woolf, The Second Common Reader

“Danger lies in the writer becoming the victim of his own exaggeration ... and in the end coming to despise truth itself as something too cold, too blunt for his purpose—as, in fact, not good enough for his insistent emotion. From laughter and tears the descent is easy to sniveling and giggles.”
Joseph Conrad
