On the 27th day of NaPodPoMo, Pilar would like to share her thoughts about why she needs to refocus her writing. She's realised she's not a persuader - she prefers to tell her story and share her thoughts, and let you decide what to do with the information. That's probably why The A to Z of Spanish Culture has been her most popular book - most of it is about her own experience, with other information of course. In trying to do both a memoir and a how to book that people want to buy, she's doing ...
