Between one page and the next
Sometimes stories arrive without warning. This space brings together what happens between one page and the next: ideas, projects and the small things that make us feel at home.
Thank you for being here, for reading and for being part of the journey.
The red of Ashfall. The blue of Maniac. Two ways of exploring wounds, identity and the things that change us.
Open their Pinterest boards, listen to the playlists and find their notebooks in the library.
The streets of Ashfall are more than scenery. They hold earlier versions of the characters: the corner where a goodbye happened, a window still lit, the place they swore never to return to.
In this example notebook, red connects those images. Sometimes it means anger; sometimes, the possibility of letting someone close. A simple question guides the scene: what changes when we look at a familiar place with new eyes?
Writing exercise: a character writes a letter and decides to keep it. What matters is not what the letter explains, but the word they cross out before sealing the envelope.
Try reading the scene with the Ashfall playlist. Change the song and notice how the rhythm shifts. Some silences carry more weight than an answer. Perhaps that is the real reason the letter never leaves the room.
The fire on this page follows its atmosphere: small embers around the cover, breathing red light and notes arriving one by one.
In this example, the light leaves room for the words. The story remains at the centre, even when everything around it seems to be changing.
Maniac begins with an encounter and grows around what remains unsaid. Lyx tries to understand HyukJin as her first certainties become questions.
The example moodboard translates that tension into images: dark water, glass, blue flowers and dimly lit rooms. It does not reveal the plot; it offers an atmosphere in which to approach it.
A small reading notebook, without spoilers:
What detail makes you trust a character? Which silence makes you most curious? When does a first impression change?
These example questions can accompany a shared reading. Save the note and return after a few more chapters: your answers may already have changed.
Maniac has been published by Círculo Rojo. Its page includes the book description and a link to the publisher’s shop.
This space is ready for future reading notes, photographs and news. A notebook to accompany the reading, revisit its questions and share what stays with us after the book is closed.
An example note for Between the pages. Before putting the scenes in order, we gather what already exists: an image, a voice and a question.
The image gives us a place. The voice suggests who might live there. The question leaves room for the story to begin. This small method lets us keep ideas without expecting them to become a novel immediately.
Example exercise: choose a photograph from the moodboard and describe what lies outside the frame.
Perhaps someone has just left. Perhaps they have not arrived yet. The same room can tell very different stories depending on what we expect to find. Future entries in this project can gather images, updates and longer fragments.
