 Some days, writing hurts — Not because of what you're trying to say, but because your body simply won’t follow. It’s been two days now. Two days where the weight of my own body crushes every attempt at motivation, every spark of creativity. The pills make everything slower, heavier. My mind is too fogged to chase new stories. I move through daily tasks like a machine set to low power — not living them, just executing. And yet, I type this. Slowly. Each key is heavier than the last. I’m writing this not to complain, but to remember: this is part of it too. The days when the words won’t come, when the stories hide, when being human takes precedence over being a writer. I hope this fog lifts soon. I hope the stories come back. Until then, I wait — quietly, and a little heavier.

Today I went through another long episode of depersonalization—the kind where you feel like you’re just a spectator in your own body. It’s not as frightening as it sounds: it’s simply my “other self” taking over, staring at a single spot with its own thoughts, while the conscious part of me tries to break through. It sounds more dramatic than it really is; it’s nothing like what you see in movies like Split (and I doubt it’s even close). What I’m getting at is that, when I reread my books, sometimes there are passages that don’t feel familiar—sections where I can’t remember exactly when I wrote them, or if it was, somehow, my “other self” who did the typing. It happens especially during those moments when the writing just flows: the story, the plot, the characters, the whole world is clear in my mind… but I’m never quite sure which version of me is putting those ideas on the page. I’ve been thinking about this for days. What if that other part of me has ruined my books? What if it w...

 Welcome to the official blog of Theron Lysandros. I am a writer of dark fantasy—of worlds where memory burns and nothing is ever truly forgotten. Stories have always been my refuge, especially during the nights when sleep never came and the world outside seemed impossible to endure. What began as a way to survive my darkest moments slowly became a calling: to create universes where wounds are sacred, where the beauty is found in brokenness, and where hope, if it exists, is always fragile. My books are not about heroes who conquer or villains who are simply evil. They are about people who endure, who lose themselves and sometimes find themselves again, who would rather remember the pain than live without meaning. I write in English and Spanish, because pain, longing, and memory are languages that transcend borders. Writing, for me, is both an act of resistance and a kind of healing. Some of my stories were written when I was at my lowest—when I felt more shadow than person. Eve...
