**Interview**
So for communications class, i got to be interviewed... thought i might post the answers: My first inteview as an author, lol
I don't remember exactly... Writing has been something I've done most of my life. I suppose I had a lot to say and nobody to say it to, hence my need to express my feelings in whatever way I found nearest—most of the time, that was a book. The blog officially started in 2002, and that was the turning point for me, where I began to do it with some sort of discipline.
**What kind of writing have you done, and what has inspired you to carry it out?**
I've experimented with various forms: articles, short stories, children's stories, some poetry, prose, and especially inner reflections. I've explored different types of novels—romantic, suspense—a mixture of everything. I wrote what I wanted, what interested me, and what made me happy.
As for my inspiration, I guess it comes from everything that I have not experienced yet. Yes, it's something weird, but I think I experiment with things there that I couldn't live otherwise. Of course, I have based some stuff on experience, but I focus on new realities where you can experience new things or usual things more intensely.
**Which do you feel is your most successful novel, story, or poem?**
What a cruel question... Evaluating self-success is quite different from what society or others consider a success. The writing I received the most praise for was a critical essay on structuralist doctrine. Others have complimented me on an article I published in the school magazine to commemorate its 350th anniversary. For me, undoubtedly, the first chapter of a novella, which has been in production for about three years, seems like the best thing I've written so far, although very few people have read it.
**What have people said about your writings?**
Sharing what you've written can be exciting sometimes because I want people to read it and say, "Wow... I didn't know you could do this." However, this only happened when I was in school. I had teachers who really gave me wings and seemed to believe I had some talent. However, now... there is no longer anyone to show my work to. The system is different; I'm no longer seen as a talented child but as another young hopeful.
**Have you received any awards for your writings?**
Well, no. The truth is, I don't think I've reached the point where my work is worthy of competing with others. I have to polish my style and work on the message I want to convey. Also, an important factor is that most of what I write is in English, so it doesn't really belong to my literary surroundings and therefore is not easy to share with people.
**Name five brief works of yours, mentioning the importance of each.**
1. **The Life and Times of N***** I**s**: The first novel in what I hope will be a long series of novels. I wrote it over three years, and it is a rather complex story that has evolved so much that it is difficult to follow the pace. This book, along with all its sequels, will be the most important work of my life.
2. **Mikey's Torment**: A short story I posted online in a forum. It concerns a child who suffers serious abuse at school. It's a very sad story narrated by the "bad guy," so it's a fairly interesting story for me. It helps me explore the dark side within me.
3. **Metaphorae**: This is my diary, where I have everything I've felt and thought during the last five years or more. It is precious to me. Sometimes I think it needs to be edited and could be material for publication, but I guess all writers feel that way about their work.
4. **The Adventures of Perencejito**: This is what I wrote for my 8-year-old sister and concerns the adventures of Perencejito, a chibolin (this is his kind). It's a work that I have been told could easily be published.
5. **Book of Shadows**: A little project that deals with philosophy and spirituality, which are among my passions. Does magic exist? Does God exist? A small theory is developed from Descartes, the ontological concepts of Heraclitus and Parmenides, and Boolean logic. It is a work full of flaws and mistakes and still lacks a lot, maybe too much, to be read by anyone besides me. But the project is important to me.

I thought your best friend has always been there for you... But it’s been lifetime for me and mine does not show up. People I meet do not understand friendships as I do. They simply end up hating me, ignoring me or disappearing...
I know I am the problem. I am certainly mad, a person who is supposedly in search of better things, but that at any hardship finds refuge in an invented world, where everything is perfect, and you can forget about everything else. How much I’d like for that world to be real, and how much more I would like to forget it so I could concentrate in this life and make it better.
But I can’t it’s so nice to be there, my desmænok, my personal paradise for when I die. This idea gave birth to Xag. The person I am and the person I am not at the same time. An ideal me, as I want to be and what I am right now. Living the life I wish to live most, one full of adventures and friends. In the desmaenok, He has three very special friends, whom I now call Joshua , his best friend, Nikolas (his girlfriend) and another one. One I have not yet imagined
There, as cliched and childish as it sounds the world is where all things I've dreamed of are true. I'm a witch, a famous artist and performer, a fugitive from justice, an adventurer, a boy of 10 one day, 14 the day after and 12 the next, beautiful.
Why Xag? Who is Xag?
When I think about my happiness, my joy, my true sorrows, my ideals, my fantasies, my ultimate self, my power, my weakness, my love, my fears, my evolution… Xag is 'it'. Xag is who I really am, Xag I who I want to achieve. Xag is my reality, my past and my goal. Xag is my true name. Xag is the word that calls upon my true self. People use nicknames to protect their identities, they wish to be someone they are not… and that’s sad, but credible. Xag It’s a nickname for all to see that shows who I really am but nobody knows. Only people that know me call me Xag. Only people that have seen more that the awkward little fag that barely speaks and sits alone to read and write… know of Xag.
Xag is happy as he is sad. He is in balance; he is as satisfied as eager to learn, an adventurer and a great host. He smiles only when he feels like smiling, he cries only when he feels like crying. He is transparent, honest… a liar only when it benefits others. He is in love with life, with death, nothing is strange to him, and everything is jfun. He is so unlike me really, Xag is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice, stop being himself for others… give up his will for others to find who they really are, Xag is willing to make mistakes to show others who they really are. That’s why Xag… that’s why I, keep posting my most intimate thoughts and secrets online. I’m trying to give... When you call up on my name, my true name, you are calling this creature I so desperately want to be, I so insanely think I am, that so painfully I’ve been. Yes… I made a character out of myself. I had never put into words quiet like that… I made a movie out of my life an existence… but that’s not how the world I live on works… I know that. It hurts. God it hurts, in every level. Physically… it hurts, aesthetically, ethically, morally, scientifically, socially, humanly, spiritually, magically… its hurts in every way. I open my eyes and see, hear and feel that all my words, actions and emotions… just don’t fit, in this place, in this world… I was just never meant for this world…
Perhaps I have created him/me to get rid of all those things that mortify me, He does everything that I can't do, I can't run away from home… it would be very complicated...
I’ll never finish my course of witchcraft, I cannot reveal myself to anyone, and I can't rebel myself against anything…

Today I had an extended family reunion...
My school life is dull, but today I reached Obsidiana and asked him to take me some photos with wet clothes, I just have to find one day where I'm home alone and plan each one of the 24 pictures I got to take.

How could it?
How could it?
Maybe it could if I had stopped telling lies, I had been able to reach a stable relationship with another human being, if I had quit being self-conscious and unable to fit anywhere. It’s funny I don’t blame lack of money, or my parents… I know all this ‘ifs’ were up to me, and me alone.
Not long ago I found out that what I do best is daydream, but these daydreams are not shared with anyone. I can’t even bring myself to make them stories to share here. So I plan to leave a record of my life as I keep daydreaming. What I write here, is going to be as honest I can make it be, no camouflages or lies… Because with all these dreams have led to lies, and subsequently led to not having anything real. I can’t keep lying… hopefully people affected by these turn of events forgive me.
