Francisco
de Paula, mostly known as Blue Jeans, is a famous Spanish writer. His
books are the series “Canciones Para Paula”, “El Club De Los
Incomprendidos” and his new book “Tan Sencillo Como Twitear Te
Quiero”. I
had the good fortune to meet him in person and ask him to grant us a
little interview. And this is the result:
1.
We know that your name is Francisco de Paula, but we're curious, why
Blue Jeans? Why do you write under this pseudonym?
A:
I used this pseudonym in the forums to talk about music, sport,
series ... when I started in Fotolog I wanted that the people start
to speak about the characters and judge me by my writing and remain
me in the background. BlueJeans comes from Sqeezer’s song. I like
the sound of the title and adopted the nickname. Then the publisher
decided to use it for my books.
2.
Even from childhood you thought to dedicate to writing?
A:
Since childhood I like to write but I never imagined I would get
everything I've accomplished. Everything starts to not find work as a
journalist and I have free time to propose the challenge of writing a
novel. I could not publish that novel but it helped me to prove to
myself that I could make a long story with a beginning and end.
3.
Of all the books you have written what do you think has been most
successful?
A:
All are selling well and is fortunate to have seven books on the
market. But I am aware that I have to keep working hard and striving
every day to prevent this is over.
4.
In "Canciones Para Paula" and "El club de los
incomprendidos" you refer to sugus. Why
this "obsession" with the sugus?
A:
There isn’t an obsession. In the misunderstood I refer to them to
give a wink to readers of Songs for Paula.
5.
Soon it will be released your new book "As simple as to tweet I
love you". Could you tell us a little about it?
A:
It is a university story that I really wanted to write in a while. It
retains the style of all the previous books, but I have raised a
point pitch to be slightly older characters. I cannot talk any more.
The first chapter is on the Internet as an advance.
6.
What advice would you give to people who are starting in the world of
writing?
A:
Do not get hung up on post and write for fun. And then read a lot. To
be a good writer you must first be a good reader.
7.
Do you do something more professionally besides writing?
A:
I am a graduate in journalism, but now the books and everything
around them take me twenty four hours a day, seven days a week.
8.
Have you thought about writing for an adult audience?
A:
I like living day to day and just think of the new book and the tour
firms will follow. I never shut any doors, although I see very far
writing another genre.
