Santiago Muguiro Olagaray

Biography

Hello folks,
My name is Santiago Muguiro. I am a creative writer based in Connecticut, currently pursuing an English degree. I was born in Mexico City, where my experiences formed me into a man who cares deeply about faith and personal values. Most of what I write is set in fantastical fairy tale worlds, though the themes my stories touch are much deeper. My main inspiration in this journey has been God before everything else, J.R.R. Tolkien and his works, as well as the fairy stories in the Brothers' Grimm anthology.

Smashwords Interview

Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
I was seven years of age. It was a story about an orc named Luis and a spider named Dracula. I still have a copy. That was, without a doubt, the moment that I realized my love for creating and writing stories. Of course, I had created many fantastical stories before that (mostly with my brother, who is but three years younger), but I had never written them. The story of Luis and Dracula wasn't particularly impressive or anything, but I still look fondly at it.
What is your writing process?
It has changed much over the years, and I do not think it has reached its final stage. It will change still as I discover better ways, but for now, it goes like this.
I first write the whole first draft of any work on a digital typewriter (not a computer) and plot it if it is long like a novel, then I transfer it to my computer and go through it, changing and fixing plot holes. After that, I go through it again and fix grammar and spelling.
It may take a few read-throughs to fix everything, but generally, that is the process.
