I read the statements of the authors (there are three) of the novel that won the Planeta Prize. "In the writer's room they throw out ideas and plot solutions, and the one that convinces the other two triumphs," describes Jorge Díaz, who states that in the end "he couldn't figure out who wrote each part."
Writer's room. There is still no name in Spanish, because the concept is new. Normally, writers, if we can, have a small office, with the computer, pens, paper, and a small whiteboard. If the small office has a door (if it's a room separate from the others, in the house), then it can be tax-deductible. If it happens that, in addition to planting a tree and writing a book, you have also had a child, it may be that the desk is in the dining room or bedroom, or that we don't even have a table and write in bars or in bed or on the sofa. In this case, we cannot deduct anything. Writer's room means that more than one fits, and it is a concept that comes from the world of screenwriters: the one who makes the Bible (the one who, in English, is under the label created by) and those who give it dialogue form (those who in English appear under written by).
I understand the idea of writing scripts for theater, radio, and television in a group and I think it can be fun. I imagine that in Carmen Mola's writer's room there will be a fridge, a bar cabinet, natural light, professional cleaning, TV screens, a sofa, who knows if a basketball hoop, and surely some gamer chairs that don't cause neck pain. For me, however, it would seem impossible to write a novel with someone else (unless it was a heteronym). The only advantage I see to the writer's room (I speak for myself) is that if you have other colleagues writing with you, you have to get dressed and put on shoes. I mean, I don't imagine the three Carmen Mola gentlemen writing in a bathrobe and slippers, as I now write, so comfortably, alone.
