I'm now finally working on a novel, after having practiced by writing a memoir. I guess it would not have been merely "practice" if it had been published!</span></span></span></span></p>

<span style="font-family:Raleway, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="color:#4d5767;"><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="background-color:rgb(247,244,239);">My novel is based on my Mexican grandparents' experiences escaping the Mexican Revolution and raising a family in San Francisco's Russian Hill during the 1930s-40s. I have lots of ideas, but the story has the potential to be a big, broad epic, which is not really what I want to write. I want it to be a story about an interesting family living through some difficult times (Great Depression, World War II) who just happens to be Mexican. So, I'm trying to develop a focus.</span></span></span></span></p>
