March of the Writers: 2025 Edition!

Another year, another March is on its way fellow writers! Like last year, I’m sharing the prompts with plenty of time so you can get ready, in case you want to record or do something bigger or that requires more planning or a bit more time. And like last year, you are free to interpret each prompt in your own way.

 

If this is your first time hearing about March of the Writers, no worries. There will be more posts and videos explaining what we do during March but for an elevator pitch version of the definition, here we go:

March of the Writers is a month-long event where you will have a prompt per day. The idea is for you to post on your preferred social media platform, newsletter, blog, or what have you and let readers and fellow authors get to know you a bit better.

 

The rules of play are simple:

 

A.    You can approach prompts however you want. The idea is to get creative, have fun, and connect.

B.    You do NOT need to participate every day. If you missed a day, no harm, no foul. You can either catch up or skip it altogether.

C.    You can join WHENEVER you want. Heck, want to do it in another month? Why not? But March is when most people who participate will do it.

 

Also, SUPER IMPORTANT, make sure to use the following hashtags when you post:

 

#MarchOfTheWriters

#MOTW

#MOTW2025

 

And now that we have that out of the way, let’s get to the prompts!

 

1.         Introducing…

This is your author into. Tell us, how long have you been writing, have you published any books, what genres do you write in, where are you from, and anything else your readers might want to know.

 

2.        Define yourself.

If you were a dictionary definition, what does it include?

 

3.        Tune up or enjoy the silence?

Do you write with music on? Does it influence your writing? Do you prefer silence? Have you checked out the March of the Writers Playlist? Do you have some tracks you think would be great to include in it?

 

4.        Author rituals

Sometimes we need to motivate ourselves to get our write on. Sometimes we just sit down and get things done. What are some of your writing rituals?

 

5.        Hallowed ground

Are there any locations that have inspired your work? Is there any place that for some reason allowed inspiration to hit? Where are they and how did they inspire?

 

6.        Nooks and crannies

Where and when we get our write on depends on the person and we each have places that for some reason let the words flow. What are some of your favorite places to write?

 

7.        Method to Madness

Writing is such a curious process and we all have things we do to either sort plot holes, improve our writing, catch typos, or what have you. Give us some tips or describe your writing process.

 

8.        Idea well

As writers, one of the most important things we have to do is capture ideas. Whether it’s a process, meditation, or using a variety of capture tools, how do you tap into your creativity or make sure that ideas don’t run away?

 

9.        Healthy habits

Every year I include this topic because there are so many great tips to stay healthy in body and mind, that we need this space to share the wealth. Have you done something that was a game changer for your health whether it's in writing or life? Have you gotten a writing schedule? Have you deleted apps? Have you stopped or started doing things for your wellbeing that you think could help others? Then share the wealth.

 

10.      Social distancing

In the last year, a LOT of people have opted out of social media or some platforms have been or will be banned. This might be worrying to some, but for others, it’s a welcome pruning of things that might not be worth the price of admission or yielding proper return of investments. What do you think of this trend and have you stopped participating in some platforms/events?

 

11.       Making it personal

Do you include unique things in your stories and writing in general to reward your readers, especially those who read more than one of your books, poems, or stories?

 

12.      Where are you still at?

2024 was the year of deleting apps and saying no to certain events, websites, etc. Which apps and events are you keeping and why?

 

13.      You’ve got this.

Sometimes we need a kick in the ass and sometimes we need a shoulder to cry on. What are some words of encouragement you’ve received, and you’d like to pay forward?

 

14.      Where in the world?

How many countries are you read in or have people that follow you? This is a small exercise to show you your reach and that sometimes, you have followers where you least expect them. Also, readers, this is your chance to let us know where you’re reading us from? Also, writers, where else would you like to be read?

 

15.      May I AI?

One of the elephants in the room continues to be AI, the use, misuse, enthuse, and abuse of it. Get your soap box out and make your case for or against AI. If you are vehemently against it, what are some good things that come from AI? If you are for AI, defend your stance but also share some of your areas of concern.

 

16.      Do the evolution

How do you feel you’ve evolved as a writer from when you started to where you are now?

 

17.      Writer fuel Pt 1- Snacks

Before we conquer, sometimes we need to snack. What’s a go-to fuel for you while reading or writing?

 

18.      The 3 Ps: Plotter, Pantser, Plantser.

Which are you?

 

19.      Coffee vs. Tea!

Which wins and how do you have it? Where is the worst coffee/tea you’ve had and the best?

 

20.     It’s a date!

Do you have events scheduled for the year or special meetups? Let us know!

 

21.      We go together.

One of the absolute best things about writing is the community. Tell us about your experience with the community and how some people have had an impact on you.

 

22.      Competitive drive

Have you ever or would you ever enter a writing competition? If so tell us about the experience. If it’s not your cuppa, tell us why.

 

23.      Bookmark palooza.

This is a favorite of a lot of people, so flex your swag and show us your bookmark collection.

 

24.      Writer Beware!

Another popular entry is to share things we should ALL keep an eye out for. Scammers are gonna scam and we gotta stick together.

 

25.      Beyond the comfort zone

Have you ever thought about or tried writing in a different form? Script, play, poetry, or even song. Maybe a different genre? If so, what would you like to try and why?

 

26.      Writer fuel Pt 2: influences

As writers, influence can come from many places. Sure, some of those might end up disappointing us, but the influence is still there.

 

27.      Secret identity.

MOST people I know can’t live off their writing and have a regular (or not so regular) day job. Some people think we live double lives and for some people, that is the case, having a creative persona that is starkly different to who and how they are. What’s your day job and are you the same online/offline and when you’re doing your authorly things, or is there a different setting for you?

 

28.     Author picks.

We ALL have our favorites, so share your faves in music, movies, art, video games, books, or anything you’d like to highlight.

 

29.      Writer fuel Pt 3: Reward time

As writers, we can be very brutal with ourselves, so it’s only fair to celebrate with the same verve. How do you reward yourself?

 

30.     Wishlist.

There’s always that fear that speaking our wishes out loud might make them not come true, but I also believe that sharing our vision can be very powerful. What are some things on your wishlist for this year and in the future?

 

31.      To be continued…

What’s on the horizon for you and how can we keep in touch?

 

Celebrating 3 Kings Day/Celebrando los 3 Reyes

Although 3 Kings Day was yesterday, I want my first post of the year to celebrate 3 Kings Day (which some countries observe as Epiphany). It’s a feast day commemorating the visit of the 3 Wise Men or the Magi to Jesus. In Puerto Rico and in Hispanic and Latino countries in general, it is observed nationally. For many people back home, the tradition includes putting shoe boxes full of grass for the camels of the 3 Wise Men to eat when they visit and the food traditions roam from big stews to eating a Rosca de Reyes. 

 

However you celebrate it, or if you don’t but want to partake in celebrations, I’m putting 5 of my books for sale this week. 

 

So if you’ve got $5 you can get 5 eBooks.

 

Daydreams on the Sherbet Shore Volumes 1 & 2

 

Given to Fly

 

Penumbra

 

Only Human – Book 1 of the Human Cycle

 

It’s my way of saying thanks to my readers and to celebrate a tradition a lot of people may not know or celebrate.

 

Peace, love, and Feliz Día de los Reyes

 

-

 

Por excelencia la gente recibe regalos más grandes y pomposos para la Navidad que para el día de los Reyes. Aunque ayer fue el Día de los Reyes, quería extender la celebración aún más así que puse 5 de mis libros a la venta en Amazon. Si tienes Kindle y quieres añadirle a tu lista de libros del año, en confianza aprovecha.

 

Es un pequeño detalle para celebrar nuestra latinidad ya que los Reyes no se celebran en los EE. UU. pero pues, en PR nos gusta celebrar y quería empezar el año con un detallito de agradecimiento a todos los que me leen. Mil gracias por el apoyo, el cariño y todo el amor que recibí en mi viaje más reciente a la Isla. Se les quiere y brindamos con coquito o pitorro.

 

Dos abrazos y un adiós,

Another NoNo from NaNo?

For those who don’t know, November has been known as National Novel Writing Month for some time and writers of all likes have participated in NaNoWriMo to finish a novel within a month. It’s spawned two Camp NaNoWriMo months and I’ve participated in both.

Last year, they were in very hot water for how they handled allegations of grooming and sexual misconduct on their forums. They offered a response, adjusted, adjusted it further, and were reactive to what is a very dicey situation. A lot of things have been speculated about NaNo since then and once again they find themselves in hot water with another problematic situation, this time sharing their stance on the use of AI. They emitted their opinion and have already started adjusting and I can't help but feel like they're treading water again.

 

I’d seen the buzz doing the rounds so I read NaNoWrimo's stance on AI, which you can read here. In the last year, the conversation on AI has been increasing as has been the overall use of it. I've seen positive applications of AI technology in certain circles and I'm all for using it ethically...however, the prevalent use of AI as a cost-cutting measure is abundantly clear in countless industries and ignoring that is ignorant at best.

 

Last year there was the actor's strike because studios wanted to pay an initial paltry sum and then use your likeness in perpetuity. With the level of shafting actors and creators get, this is an additional slap in the face. The strike was a no-brainer. During the last two years, the amount of "digital artists" who have started “offering their services” by using generative AI to sell results of prompts has multiplied several times over.

 

Working in advertising I'm seeing the use of AI continue to increase at all levels. I'm seeing applications where I see the benefit and I see others where it is a bit worrying. Working as a copywriter in a creative department, one of my tasks is to come up with concepts or texts to either sell, convince, or communicate.

 

In addition, another big chunk of what I do is translating and transcreating.

 

Translating is just the ask of taking one message from one language and effectively transposing the same message to another.

 

Transcreation is making adjustments to make sure it's culturally relevant. So, for a bare-bones example, in one you try and figure out how to translate the term cherry slushy while with transcreation you go a step beyond and figure out if you need to even change the object so that people can relate to the core idea and not get distracted by what a cherry slushy is.

 

I've seen bilingual catastrophes since I was an English mentor in college over 20 years ago and I still see occasions where people use a text translator, copy-paste, and do NOT proofread or fail to do a proper quality assessment.

 

THIS is one of my main problems with AI and certain tools, i.e. people getting lazy, complacent, or not doing their due diligence. What I've also noticed is certain questions in conversations with internal and external clients that make me raise an eyebrow...

 

I'm human and not perfect and if I see a preference in a term or how to phrase something that is equal to what was written originally but sets someone at ease, the odds are in favor of me being OK with that change as long as it makes sense. I do this so people see that I take their opinion onboard and that I welcome people to challenge what was written to get to the best possible option and yes, a change in a word can make a big difference.

 

But some questions prompt me to use either Google Translate or ChatGPT to verify a gut feeling.

 

Working so long in communications, I sometimes get a peculiar feeling of where a question is coming from, and when I take the original English and pass it through either Google Translate, Linguee, or ChatGPT (among other options), I have often found what I'm being suggested. Sometimes the option works and sometimes it doesn't, and actually, quite often it doesn't work so you need to know why something doesn't work to defend the original text or look for a third option. Here is one example where AI technology is problematic and I'm being ultra-specific because it can be that specific.

 

I see the use in this example and you can make a case that it's trying to make sure that the work was done correctly or trying to give people tools to verify work that's being done rather than just take our word for it that it's OK. What's curious is that humans are questioned more often than the results of a prompt or at least it sometimes feels that way.

 

I've also seen people say they know another language when they clearly don't. From written examples to casting calls where someone thinks that “fake it until you make it” also applies to language. This is why when we do casting calls for Spanish ads, I worry when we get from certain cities, but more on that later.

 

When it comes to design, I've seen many other companies using AI heavily, because the due date for deliverables is too aggressive to do X or Y thing without using every single tool in your arsenal.

 

And things are delivered.

 

And the client sees that they can be delivered.

 

And this brings additional issues.

 

The creative process is ever more rushed. Btw, I'm not saying I haven't been rushed before and haven't done crazy turnaround times. In a job way back, I knew to develop 3 entire creative ad campaigns with Print, Radio, Out of Home, TV Scripts, and digital adaptations within 3 days and then have to present with a fresh face.

 

This

I

Shall

Never

Recommend

 

But we did it.

 

And we did it well.

 

But I always wonder what we could have done with an extra day or two. Maybe cock around? Or maybe a better idea could have come about. Both are possible.

 

The problem is that once you deliver something in a crazy time frame, that becomes the new bar. The use of AI and how I've seen timetables impacted also raises a flag.

 

Clients want more work, quicker, but at the same price, or why not ask for it cheaper? Within this there are a bevy of topics to discuss, I know, but for this case, let's focus on delivering something fast and that becoming a problem. What if you can't deliver? What if another project overlaps?

 

None of this is the client's problem.

 

They have a need (though often it's a want more than a need) and you have to deliver.

 

Period.

 

But hiring more people is not an option.

 

So, you rely on any and all tools to get the job done.

 

Btw, quality and strategy often suffer but this isn't a priority to some clients. I can't say many or all, but none? That I cannot say either.

 

Above are just some of the examples of how AI is impacting the day-to-day life of companies and I'm not even mentioning customer service, research, proposal drafting, hiring processes, tech, and beyond. When you turn back the lens to creative work, meaning books, music, art, film, and more, there are more problems to be had, many of which a lot of people standing to make money wouldn't mind ignoring.

 

NaNoWrimo's stance kind of hints that they can't full-fledged say no or cancel the use of AI or any technology. They have since slightly adjusted their message to include the paragraph that's highlighted in this screenshot.

 

So, is AI a big umbrella technology? Yes.

 

Is its use being regulated? No or it’s just starting.

 

Are people taking advantage of this? Yes.

 

Beyond clicking a box that says you didn't use AI to generate artwork or content, are large companies like Amazon doing anything to check for the use of AI? Unclear.

 

Are people using AI to develop manuscripts, covers, translations, and other creative materials? Yes. We don't know to what extent, but it's been happening and will continue to happen and with some worrying results.

 

Some people might make a case that generative AI can’t produce quality work. However, in 2022 the winner of an art contest won using AI generated art.

 

People were not happy.

 

Also in the last 2 years, it’s more common to see digital artists struggle to find freelance work. Dismissing any correlation seems irresponsible. You can make a case for some applications. However, other applications are extremely concerning because the intent of companies to streamline processes, cut costs, and reduce personnel is blatant. In the creative spectrum, the impact is also being felt...and it's not to make things better. Quicker and more efficient? Yes. But better…that depends on what you mean by better.

 

When it comes to books, working with artists who don't use AI and working in tandem is an option, especially if you want a unique cover that breaks through the clutter and that can stand out from the shelf. There are also options for people without the means to pay for a cover to develop simple covers for books.

 

In my experience, I’ve used Canva and I’ve done so without using their AI tools, instead using simple elements to capture the essence of the book. When I’ve needed something more complicated, I’ve set aside a budget and hired illustrators and artists. Below are some of my books.

 

Books 1 and 2, I made those covers.

Book 3 was designed by Melissa Lettis

Book 4 was designed by Karelys Luna

 

NaNoWrimo wants to make a case for using Ai to develop covers to even the field...I disagree with this stance because AI as used in this scenario is generative AI which feeds off original and copyrighted work. I would suggest keeping it simpler or looking for more cost-effective options, like pre-made covers instead of using generative AI. But that's my opinion. I say this because if you save money and pay for the right person, that's doable and if you put in the time and effort, you may still get a decent to great cover. If you also find the right person, then how much is it worth it to use the right person for the job? For the Human Cycle, I worked with José Arocho and he was able to navigate the ask amazingly well and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

 

Some people may say that I used stock images or vector illustrations from a website to make my simpler covers. This is true, but I read the usage rights and the images and illustrations/elements I've chosen were either clear to use, or I paid for their use.

 

That's very different from going to AI platforms, typing in a prompt, downloading the result, and putting your name on the artwork without researching anything. If you choose to do this because regulations aren't set in place yet, that's your choice, but know that you may be served with a Cease & Desist sooner rather than later. And again, it's your choice.

 

My choice is to work with artists when I have the means and to do simple covers when I do not. My choice is to also work with editors from here on out because I've seen the value of their work and have found options of people I trust and prefer that to depending solely on software.

 

AI offers many murky waters to navigate and will impact every aspect of life in the foreseeable future. Skynet analogies will come full force and you will have choices to make. For me, I shall keep writing by hand and transcribing because it's part of my process. I shall also keep working directly with artists because I see my covers and I don't see any like them...and that makes me happy.

 

At the end of the day, if you have to spin something to not feel bad about your decision, then what does that say about what you're doing?

 

That's for you to answer.

 

Peace, love, and maki rolls.

4ll 4bo4rd for 44

Time is a curious thing. Sometimes it crawls. Other times it goes at light speed and without realizing it, a couple of weeks (or months) seem to go by in a blur. This last year has had a lot of those stop-and-go moments where you think you have an idea of how things will flow and life says, “Oh! You had plans? That’s cute.”

 

That said, looking back on year 43, even with challenges, I got a lot done and also enjoyed a lot of things. A lot happens in a year and we sometimes don’t realize how much we get done because we’re onto the next thing. By the way, it’s not like I’m going to suddenly change and be all feng shui, namaste, and chill. I’m a curious cat and have always been a bit bananas, so I fully expect some shenanigans to come my way and to produce my own set of shenanigans. I may have no idea what the future holds, but what I do know is that every day I choose to begin and end the day by giving thanks.

 

Thanks for the good.

Thanks for the not so good.

Thanks for the amazing.

Thanks for the random (and BOY do I encounter a lot of random and LOVE it).

Thanks for the quirky.

Thanks for the silly.

Thanks for the inspirational.

Thanks for the confusing.

Thanks for the challenges and the solutions I’m able to land on.

Thanks for the solutions that come from others and the maturity to welcome them.

Thanks for health.

Thanks for the fun.

Thanks for the thoughtful.

Thanks for the sweet.

Thanks for the patience.

Thanks for the opportunities to work on my patience.

Thanks for the gray hairs (long may they remain and they can stay if they help keep the rest in check and in place).

Thanks for the details.

Thanks for the human moments.

Thanks for the recommendations.

Thanks for the messages.

Thanks for the super tasty adventures.

Thanks for the laughs when something I try is terrible.

Thanks for the hugs.

Thanks for the jokes.

Thanks for the tears.

Thanks for the laughs.

Thanks for the insights.

Thanks for the support.

And thanks for love from so many places, time zones, and countries.

 

Of course, there are days when the daisies don’t smell as vibrant and the sun feels a bit dim. But on other days, daffodils dance, the sun tag teams with the moon to both show off, the food tastes better, the air smells beautifully, and life flows. Life offers you both, so recognize both and if you can’t enjoy it, try to learn from it…or use it as a plot point for a story or inspiration for a song or a poem.

 

It’s been a year of many achievements, from winning my first ad award and other work opportunities (more on this later), to giving writing courses to students in Puerto Rico and Pennsylvania, and a writing course to people in several time zones, to finishing the Human Cycle, to getting back to sending Estrada Crates, to personal adventures, like having my first trip with my oldest brother to see Peter Gabriel in Chicago, to going to Puerto Rico with the Captain to be with family, and countless other things.

 

365+ days give us the opportunity to do a LOT of things and experience a spectrum of emotions. Here’s to embracing all of it.

 

44 feels like a great number and it seems to encompass abundance in many ways. I have several firsts I’ll be pursuing so let’s see how that goes, and if you can spare a sec to wish me luck, it’s always welcome. Regardless, thank you for joining me for this or any read. For being in touch. For connecting. For accepting my expression of humanity and for sharing yours. There are plans ahead and I hope you’ll join me for them. But for now, I’ll focus on giving thanks.

 

It was a great year.

 

Here’s to making this new one even better.

 

Peace, love, and maki rolls.

Brindando con palabras

En esta ocasión quiero celebrar a nuestra Madre en verso. Así que si me regalan un minuto o dos y me acompañan, se lo agradezco.

-

Contigo y punto

 

No soy reflejo, ni sombra.

Soy amor destilado.

Una de tres joyas

De una piedra madre.

Una de tres ramas

Que la raíz sigue nutriendo.

Soy un deseo,

Un sueño,

Una sorpresa,

Una sonrisa inesperada pero familiar.

 

Me veo en sus ojos

Como ella se veía en los míos.

 

Compartimos rasgos de una sonrisa

También terquedad y cariño.

Compartimos fuego que arde

Y agua mansa que calma.

Compartimos alma

Compartimos corazón

Compartimos nombre

Y compartimos vida.

 

Porque lo bueno se comparte

Y de ella recibí lo mejor.

 

El amor perdura

Las memorias viven

Y en sueños te sigo viendo.

 

En mi voz te escucho

En mi paciencia te recuerdo

En el olvido queda el tiempo.

 

Un minuto

Cinco años

Una vida

 

En mis palabras te consigo

Y en mis cuentos me descubro

Porque cuando se trata del amor

Descubrir se trata de explorar y develar.

 

Por siempre conmigo

Por siempre contigo

Por siempre y punto.

Gracias por leer y acompañarnos. Dos abrazos y un adiós.
