Io scrivo: manuale di scrittura... esordiente

Io scrivo. Manuale di sopravvivenza creativa per scrittori esordienti non è, come gioca a suggerire il titolo, un manuale di scrittura creativa, ma un manuale creativo per scrittori . Scrittori esordienti, nella fattispecie.

Lo sappiamo, di volumetti che intendono fornire consigli di scrittura, dritte su come pubblicare un libro, liste di case editrici per emergenti e invettive contro l'editoria a pagamento ce ne sono a bizzeffe. Di testi che vogliono sostituirsi a un corso di scrittura creativa ne esistono altrettanti.

Quello di Simone Maria Navarra però, bisogna riconoscerlo, is something a bit 'different . Born as a paper version of the blog writer emerging , yes collects reports of more and less frustrating experience in publishing, tips on how to write, how to get published and how to decide if you want to be a writer for real. But it is not, alas, like so many others are a book and a bit conceited 'chopped-style newcomer misunderstood, against all "is self-mocking, light-hearted content and also allows for a bit' alternative, as the pretty "headings" books that I would publish them if I had written (securities that have become famous and repute, in all probability, a publisher would consider unpublishable if he received from an unknown author).

No, it is the definitive volume on the lives of young novelists; no, it does not teach how to put together a bestseller and yes, the author has written with the intent to make a bit 'of advertising itself (and makes no mystery). But more than once made us laugh out loud and for this reason we take the responsibility of recommend it to all our readers.

"Admit to yourself that if you never start to write, if you can not go beyond a couple of pages or if you get stuck all three lines, perhaps write you do not like it as you think. Perhaps, after all, become an author of novels is not really the dream of your life. If you were to then realize that you literally hate the written word, this could mean that in the depths of your mind, does not hide a writer but an editor. In this case, the first thing you need to ask is: I will also publish emerging writers? If so, I send you now to read something of mine! "

Scegliere bene le parole: l'antilingua

How a word can be more successful than another, and how dangerous it can be sometimes relentlessly in search of a synonym or a paraphrase elegant!
the wake of these considerations, it is back in the hands of Calvin a reflection on the Italian technical and bureaucratic, exit to the Day of February 1965. Beyond the context of discussion for which it was written, it hits a target very accurately, which covers basically anyone who wants to write to communicate and be understood .
We are pleased to read an extract below, believe that every writer, beginner or said that may be, can benefit from them.

Every day, above a hundred years from now, an automatic process now, hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens mentally translate the speed of electronic machines with the language Italian in a ' antilingua nonexistent. Lawyers and officials, ministerial offices and boards of directors, editors of newspapers and news programs speak write nell'antilingua think.

dell'antilingua main feature is what I would call the "semantic terror," that the escape in front of each word that has meaning in itself, as if "fiasco" "stove" coal "were obscene words, as if "go" to "find" knowledge "indicating actions abhorrent. Nell'antilingua meanings are constantly removed, relegated to the bottom of the prospect of words by themselves do not want to say anything or want to say something vague and elusive. [...] Who is the

antilingua always afraid to show familiarity and interest in the things of which you speak, believes he has to imply, "I speak of these things by chance, but my" function "is more at the top of the things I say and I do, my "function" is higher than everything, even myself. "

dell'antilingua The psychological motivation is the lack of a true relationship with life, or at the bottom of the self-hatred. The language is living alone in a relationship with life that becomes communication, a fullness of expression that becomes existential. So the triumphant antilingua - of the Italian people who can not say "I did," but must say "I did" - the language is killed.

Promozione della lettura: regala un libro

We welcome the beginning of March, because it allows us to recommend an initiative that we seemed to bode well for all players, non-readers and writers.

While Day national reading promotion , originally scheduled for March 24 of each year, will slip to 23 for this time of the next month, has already collected several quarters "Read, read, read" : the idea came from a young blogger lover of books, which proposes simply to equip the day March 26 with at least one book in the bag and give it to a stranger. A nice way, to promote immediate economic and cultural exchange of ideas and, who knows, maybe even phone numbers.

I do not think there are restrictions on the use, for the purpose of your book in the drawer or your latest publication: if you fear that is not Orthodox, to be sure you can contact the organizer or read all the instructions here or Facebook page dedicated to the initiative.
