Notes on a novel (that I am not going to write), or the swimming pool, or the hair, the herb and the bread or the tomato plant, 2018

Virtual project in Google Drive format

(ENG) This is a project about seeds that are unable to grow, or about planting an apple tree and seeing how a tomato plant comes out instead. It's a preparation for a novel that one no longer intends to write. It is a novel that has not been written and everything that could have been. It's a project about writing in the digital age, because all the notes for the novel will be written online and published in a public Google Drive. It is a meta-novel made of all the fragments, dialogues, discarded materials, notes, lists of ideas, etc., that have not been braided. And it is also a pool full of thoughts, books, articles, conversations, questions, discoveries, research, anecdotes and stories.

(CAST) Este es un proyecto sobre semillas que no crecen, o sobre plantar un manzano y ver como sale una tomatera. Es la preparación para una novela que una ya no tiene la intención de escribir. Es una novela que no ha sido escrita y todo lo que habría podido ser. Es un proyecto sobre escritura en la contemporaneidad digital, porque todas las notas para la novela se escribirán en línea en un Google Drive público. Es una metanovela hecha de todos los fragmentos, diálogos, materiales descartados, notas, listas de ideas, etc., que no han sido trenzados. Y es asimismo una piscina llena de pensamientos, libros, artículos, conversaciones, preguntas, descubrimientos, investigaciones, anécdotas e historias.
