El blog de Javier Herce
20 years

Twenty years. Twenty years, no less. It sounds like nothing, but today marks twenty years since the publication of my first novel, which means my literary career has reached that same milestone.
It seems like only yesterday that I first held a copy of «Bruno’s Notebook» in my hands. I remember it perfectly, and it was the beginning of countless experiences and first-time adventures. That novel opened doors for me and marked the start of a period I remember with great affection and nostalgia. A few years later came frustration, but that time was full of adventures, discoveries, and dreams coming true.
Now everything has changed so much. The literary world is no longer the same, so my career can’t be the same either. I’m still writing, and more books are coming, that’s for sure, although I’m very focused on music. I’m going to show the world a great album. The first single comes out on January 30th, and there are only a few days left.
Twenty years, Javier. Wow! I can only congratulate myself, because I’ve proven to myself perseverance, strength, and a tenacity I didn’t know I possessed. There have been tears, many tears, but also smiles. Many smiles.
Now, here’s to another twenty years.
I’m ready

There are moments in life when you don’t start again. You return.
Not to who you were, but to what mattered before fear, exhaustion or expectations took over.
This new era isn’t about proving anything. It’s about listening. About allowing myself to change without apology, to grow without erasing the past, and to accept that resilience doesn’t always look heroic. Sometimes it looks quiet. Sometimes it looks like staying.
Music has always been my language when words failed. Even in silence, it never left — it waited. It shaped me in the background, reminded me of who I am when everything else felt uncertain.
I’ve learned that starting again doesn’t mean forgetting. It means carrying everything with you (the lessons, the doubts, the strength) and choosing to move forward anyway.
This is a new era built on honesty, intention and passion.
Not perfection. Not urgency.
Just truth.
I’m here because music is still my place in the world.
And this time, I’m ready to live it fully.
A new year, the same soul
Today feels like a blank page. A fresh start, not because everything will change, but because we get to keep writing.
Last year left its shadows and its lights, and I carry them both with me into this new year. Music, memories, and those small moments that feel infinite—they’re all part of the story I’m still shaping.
Here’s to January: to quiet mornings with coffee and vinyl, to nights filled with melodies that linger, and to the little things that make life feel a little more like art.
Let’s keep creating. Let’s keep feeling. Let’s keep moving through the darkness with curiosity and soul.
