But when I started writing and I stared at my blank screen, the doubts came crawling in. First, let me introduce myself: I’m Jordi, I hail from Catalonia, and my wife Heleia and I are big fans of Star Wars.

Nevertheless, I recently decided to throw caution to the wind and take my first step into the ... [Continue Reading]
