When towards the end of January I wrote a post talking about the books I've read so far in 2011, I must confess that I was pretty proud of myself. Not so much the quantity of books read, but told them all in one place (relatively) short. For truth, I was so fair, I decided to do it again. Not today, do not worry! Ideally, I'd say once a month, one of the last days. Or, if the disease by hydrophobic reader has been particularly virulent, without waiting for the end of the month I prepare the post after 10-12 books.
said this (reader Warned), I would just swallowed a short quote from the last book: Worlds of Wonder, David Gerrold. The subtitle says it all: How to Write Science Fiction & Fantasy .
I never read manuals on writing, at least not that I remember. I have read many articles Links, I smile with nice list of tips intended to be a writer Umberto Eco, and I reflected on those provided by Mark Twain .
do not remember, however, have never read a whole book explaining how to write, or as a writer. Evidently, if ever I read one I was not impressed. This text instead
me pumped right from the start, because one thing is certain to have developed opinions about the positive evaluation of a story / novel / written, if you prefer. Another is to find out that almost all these views are shared by anyone that matters. If
with ideas about the creation / management a fantasy world I have experienced moments of glory and gained self-congratulation for my insight, I greatly appreciated the part that was the style and rhythm.
Normally I consider myself a writer spontaneous, I have never gone hunting for a particular style, not much mud that I write. Of course I know you have not reached perfection, but simply I have never raised the problem of change / improve in that particular field.
reading this book I have seen which way to go to bridge the huge gap separating the my style perfect style. I received all the inputs that could be desired. Now SO to go to work and I have been given ideas about how to do it. I know what I groped, how to exercise and how to experiment. And I aaaamo experience!
But I digress. In the beginning I just wanted to write a citation, but today must be the day when you move your finger on the keyboard so incotrollata. I will deal with them later, now I need.
