Analog Tales

          I didn´t wonder up until now how sad are most of Analog tales. This night I ended the reading of a typical Analog tale which talk on negative terms of women. In most of them they are bad employers and bossy and distant human beings. I ended one of this tales, The Astronaut, with real melancholy. I had a subscription of this review years back and wondered at it. The same editorial house publishes Fantasy and Science Fiction, which is another story. Women do not appear as bad employers in this case. I thought of sending one of my tales to Analog, maybe the one which tells the insect prick, but I decided to publish it in the blog and forget to see myself published there. My age probably is one of the reasons for that. Analog seems to be a juvenile affair, but I am not shure about that. I subscribed to this publication in my late forties. I knew about Analog, but it seemed distant to me here in Puerto Rico. I revised most on my friend Ron translations of my tales. I laugthed at all this, but still I can say I read science fiction. Fantastic tales in English is not my strong side, but I try my best to do all.

I should tell my story of how I wanted to be a science fiction writer. This story is more interesting that any possible science fiction story I can write. The better thing about this genre is the innocence of everything I read. I like it very much and I am shure that in Spain they feel the same. I would like to mix Spanish literature with science fiction. A mix of all this would be new and very truthfull of the situation we live here. I read everything from science fiction to medieval Spanish things, and I would like to get it all in tales. First I would write everything in Spanish, and then maybe translate some of these writings into English.
