In today's writing something hits me all over.
The meeting inside the blogs of famous and lesser-known authors, crawling next to interviews more or less likely addressed to editor / readers professionals / proofreaders, web browsing among literary competitions and forum for aspiring scribblers.
Hack is not a derogatory term that I use to diminish a passion that is also mine, but a kind of bag containing magical talents, vices and virtues of a population accustomed to evil, a lot which, from time to time, something real, something we can define a writer, emerges.
It 's a term I like to use to highlight how, in my opinion, today is considered one who wants to be a writer.
And too often I find myself thinking that, after all, is a correct term, and not wrongly attributed.
The thing that strikes me and I find (to return to the first point) is the current of thought that seems to go flood the minds of those who, precisely, "Dream of the writers."
I came across too often in phrases like:
-a manuscript must first give-a manuscript must affect emotions and touching, full of errors if it does not matter-the formal care is not as important as the emotion- the work of attention to detail is something that relates more to the editor and proofreader, no one pays any errors before-a story that works!
This is what they say many aspiring writers.
is the counterpart of spoken sentences instead of editors and company:
-too often we receive manuscripts tides of badly written-about 1000 manuscripts we receive are worth only a few-if a manuscript is illegible, however beautiful may be the story, I refuse to receive light-crumpled manuscripts without a minimum of care-receiving unsolicited manuscripts and topics are not required.
Now, through these incoherent, evasive, often incomplete, insufficient details, here is the scenario that promises to me.
Thousands of people who think writing a means to vent instincts and passions, something that can only work if there is a good deal of emotion combined with a little luck, for emotion does not always mean the particular that makes your eyes sparkle or shudder, but simply recognize that the daily special that gives success stories juvenile-depressive that so fashionable today.
Thousands of people who throw down these stories, most of the time without bothering to invent them, but drawing directly to their personal experiences, because it is more "torture-style" and, unmindful of the form, layout , a possible division into chapters, of the care that allows those who read it of not having to navigate between the absence of quotation marks and consonants smangiucchiate and then send them into the fray at all possible publishers, or many of them, including those only publish books on Japanese cooking.
Poor care history, poor attention to detail, lack of care for other people's work, lack of care in channeling the forces to the right target.
The writing from this point of view, it is a lottery in which a win would be the emotion.
emotion buried under layers of crumpled pages, manuscripts, letters missing, which, in his August power, because it shows glorious living, and this has the same probability of occurrence of a needle that has to be able to make inroads among thousands straws that the choke until it reaches the surface.
I'm still thinking about the trends that diminish the level of writing hobby and do not give it the care and dignity resulting from the method ...
continue to interrogate me.
specific purpose: whatever I say is the result of my personal opinion and not meant in any way rise to the role of absolute truth.
