How To Clean A Satin Finish Guitar
My novel: how I do
Indeed I was a bit 'busy lately ...
work in the first place, it actually takes me enough time in my day, plus a "principle" disaffection of the Blog. It can happen.
In any case, all this winter and early spring, to comment on any particular event.
Lately something has already happened.
First I open and close immediately a topic that was brought to my attention this week. More than one reader of my novel to me is writing the "unbelievable" similarities between my book and the disaster of earthquake in Italy a week ago.
The description that I gave the site of a disaster in urban areas, techniques of fire service, how to move the journalists at the level of shots, technologies and phrases that tell the microphones, such as conducting interviews with survivors, and especially as the escort of the President of the Council is moving, the cameras, the places affected by the disaster. The person who comes out saying that he had thought of everything ...
.. etc etc ... Taking into account that my novel is a disaster happen, not of natural origin, in the Marches, Abruzzo and not, for the rest, I admit that I was "relatively impressed."
Readers can only say: I have limited myself to describing an Italy that I know well from this point of view "technical", or machinery of government relief and the media. Ditto for the escort of the President of the Council. It is no accident that they moved exactly as I described in my story that I wrote four years ago.
The fact remains that mine is just a novel and must remain. Beat the similarities, there remains only the drama of the Eagle and surrounding areas.
E 'Easter.
So what?
We eat differently, you are at home one more day by business events, but I am afraid of being completely surrounded by a company that looks well if they find even the slightest reference to this religious occasion.
In my own case I shall take advantage of these days to do heavy house in order (the reason is, but I will reveal later ;-)) and to continue writing the new novel, a couple of months, has slowed arrest total. Syndrome is not "blank page", or rather, as usual, my problem is not churning out products from 600 pages, but I would rather an ongoing plan schemes in the narrative, and then do not start writing the fillers between events el ' Another of the novel.
But to "reassure" me who is requesting the following first novel, my public image that portrays me in my most creative home absolutely quiet. Actually most of the first novel was written in a notebook and do not in my home, but what you see ch is my studio where reassembles the pieces of the novel that I wrote from notebooks and handhelds, and then join in various files.
They asked me how do you write a novel, in many. All people who would like to submit me their manuscripts to be evaluated.
Once and for all: I'm not a publisher. But, just as publishers, I have very little free time to read the materials of others, and above all my reviews could be very distorted
the mood of the moment ... I can hardly find time to develop my writing, let alone to read those of others! However, even this small statistical sample of my budding novelists confirms my teroia We are a nation of writers, can not be denied. Then the editors of our house seem to be blind, deaf and a little 'conservative' is another matter altogether ... ;-)
Back to the main question. How do you write a novel.
like to start by saying, not as I do ... But we continue with the same response.
First you have time. Before
banality, but people underestimate the issue.
Once in the "creative rhythm," write every day is counterproductive, but writing is just once a week.
When I developed the novel, I had a rate of 3 times a week, and when I had the greatest yield of "volume of writing" was on Sunday morning. I sincerely believe
little writer by night, or who produces a novel in less than a week. It seems to me that Umberto Eco once said that the "Name of the Rose" had written in a few nights. Lucky him.
Thus, "regulate" the time that is dedicated to the development of the novel. But before you write it, there is an earlier stage, fundamental, which is planning the novel.
I said above that I think just the writer in no time a novel, and I think even less to those who say that writing "cast."
A novel, if we want to have a slightly more complex and intelligent plot of an episode of a television series detective Made in Italy, has to be planned.
There are many methods as well as instruments.
Everything is fine, provided that help your brain to develop a global vision, but also detailed the plot. Some people do
patterns on paper, type "flow chart", there are those who fill out a numbered list that represent the events of history in chronological order.
I prefer to use software that allows me to set the plot points, to follow the story characters, and various details, without falling into nonsense by famous novelists Anglo-Saxons, who are sgam girl from a reader who had a live person in one scene, while he was dead the first hundred pages.
So, to sum up: the main plot, characters, interaction of the characters with the plot. Do
patterns that summarize these points, putting down a timeline, marking the events of history.
This rule is fine for any class of novel: the love story more engaging, brick historical / political.
Then we go into more detail, or where they are concentrated more questions from my readers.
How does a novel techno / thriller?
There are only three tips: document, documents and even read.
You can not write a story involving military technology and related topics, and then write stupid things as a journalist worthy of the province. The average reader passionate
of these topics, is a demanding reader, and in most cases, an individual who generally knows more of the writer himself, in certain subjects. And he hates being
infinocchiare.
In my case of my first novel background and years of reading specific publications Anglo-Saxon and not allowed me to manage a considerable amount of information, to mix in my narrative.
In the second novel, I put technologies and situations that take place abroad, that I could not "touch". But given the sensitivity of certain topics, and the absolute desire to present events in a more realistic and detailed possible, it took me a year and a half to document among foreign publishers of books (carefully selected among the authors less overtly political), and contacting people whose anonymity is guaranteed the minimum required, given the Italian law on certain activities abroad.
But back to how to organize the writing of the novel in detail. I repeat: I am describing my method, developed after the completion of my first novel.
A novel is a story divided into chapters.
Each chapter, depending on the style of narration, may have some changes of scene, or follow more plots. The scheme de
follow is:
-write the plot general throughout the novel, without going into too much detail, but reporting only the key points of the narrative. Although it may be a complex plot, you must stay within a page.
-Write a profile for each character with his personal and physical description and other details of his personality, background ... It is said that all these details will emerge during the novel, but writing it will help you describe the character more depth.
-Divide the plot into chapters, each chapter and write a summary. The summary of the chapter to answer these questions: WHO, HOW AND WHEN.
-Take a file to write all the ideas that jump to mind for novel, to fix them immediately. Keep them in the head just disappear.
insist on writing their own ideas so much, because writing is a neurological process that helps us to fine tune and clarify ideas. Not only to preserve them.
Example: During the day I am reminded of a detail for the novel. In the lead appears to "turn right", then when the file on disk (or on paper diaries for lovers ...) I have to organize this idea ... In the process of drawing up the idea, which usually write it as if I were to expose to an imaginary interlocutor, if any "flaws" or "illogical" emerge immediately. So or the idea is correct in real time, during its writing, or is discarded.
As long as there remains at the top and nothing else, when you want it "fit" in the plot of the novel, you might have "problems". Or having to spend more time to manage and interface with the rest of the story.
This is the method I use for the preparation of my writings, is not guaranteed to work with all writers.
But if you start work, try it. ;-)

Cost Of Braces At Nyu
"What do you want to be?"
Good question, eh?
is not misplaced, given that today is the First Year.
A lot of people do this for purposes of 2009, some people are still shocked by the budget of 2008, and someone he never wanted to come this year, at least according to economists. But we qui.Com 'is 2009? Cold, snowy, and with slightly overcast skies. Vate you expect a different answer? I do not know how it will be 2009, and those who think only to trace some guideline, mind, knowing lie.
I do not make predictions.
Always know what you want to do ... Or rather, have a vague idea of \u200b\u200bwhat you would like to do. I draw inspiration from this year to start thinking about what I wanted to do in life. 'normal, right? At some point in life, usually by children, it takes a certain consciousness of the world around us, and then click the spark "I grow up I want to do / lo ..." That's great ... But how many can do what I really wanted to do for children? if you hear any famous person, it is obvious that in interviews stating that it was their dream since children do what in this moment is causing fame, wealth and prestigio.Certo as no.Cosa I wanted to do? Well, I think like most people, they have changed a bit 'over the idea anni.Ma I never wanted do, say, an astronaut or a player (typical responses of boys in elementary school of the '70s). In elementary school I remember perfectly that I did not quite think of what would become "grown". Maybe because I had already from the elementary V inkling that "great-great" I would not ever become ... ;-) In junior high I started riflettere.Erano the early '80s and was not bombarded by stimuli such as media today. But I was already avantissimo: Programmer videogiochi.Questa was the answer to the question of coverage of idiotic ritual, "but you want to be?". Then the light of my creativity in design, sometimes mumbled "I would like to become a cartoonist." The reality was quite different: becoming a chef!
Well yes: cooking utensils and ingredients I have always secretly attracted to, in a passion that I never could wreak if not well over the last 7:00 to 8:00 anni.C 'was a time, in eighth grade, at the crucial moment the choice of school to follow, in which very quickly once I told my mother to my passion (all yet to be put to the test), and want to do the catering school. From his expression of dismay, I realized I had to do a technical school for computer address, and never again shall I mention to anyone about my passion.
Then, over the years, I have not pursued the dream, but more of Opportunities, which gradually will become a military pilot presentavano.Volevo (astronaut is no difference, no?), and took the patent flight in 1991 (the youngest patented Parma in that decade). I made my beautiful ride in Pozzuoli in the same year, to participate in the selection of course Mars IV, and passed without too much trouble all the selections and theoretical psycho in two days of complete madness, which so far I would say that with five or six sessions of hypnosis, I should be able to remember everything that happened and I was testimone.L 'last day was rejected by height. A cm below that required, but on the sheet "sale," was magnanimously wrote: manifest myopia eyes left. But we saw great! Two years later, his left eye started to become slightly nearsighted, and now wear glasses to correct nearsightedness in both eyes to read. Nasty filthy we had taken bad! Then life went on, with a break in uniform, entering the world of computing, not making game programmer (which I had decided that while I hated programming), but becoming a big user ! :-D
break from computer science, I'm back in an 'a bit special, then that is what gave me the foundation to write my first novel, and again in computer science, with incursions literary occasionally. Hmmm ...
summarized twenty-eight years of life. Come on, it was not a long thing, no?
;-) I'm doing what I do as a child?
No. I'm not a chef who runs a prestigious restaurant, but every time I cook (as in the photos for this New Year's Eve). I did not enter the academy, but I met so many people in uniform with huge specializzazioni.Non've never driven a high-performance jet, but I know what it means to be tossed about by the heat in a single engine, while the horizon the sky is black for a temporal and not sure where caXXo six airport to return home (in the GPS 90 civilians saw him through the binoculars). It became a comic artist (I could do more, I admit), but the same story my stories of my home crowd, with my scritti.Poi things that I did not even as a child I thought about it, and then I found myself to be relatively well known in certain circles (Martial Arts of Southeast Asia in the first place). So? I shattered my dreams of a child? "I do not think, because the kid in me has never been disappointed by the choices I made in vita.Poi, let's face it, who told you that I really finally decided" what to do from large "? :-)

the tables where they are?
-tables? I did bring only the PC, I'm sorry but I played the phone, you know, we have not even mounted the switchboard! -
I'm back after a motivated working (but also off of creativity).
Today I have some free minutes to write these lines, because I was sent to follow a "Migrating physical systems," in a company that is not synchronized delivery of various office equipment.
Well, certainly important to get a week before the phones disconnected and only one table to stand on, without first planning the installation of new PBX and PC.
I am in a very central streets of the beautiful Bologna, obtained from offices in a building located in one of the most beautiful courtyards in the city.
It 's always a pleasure to come to work by clients of Bologna. Offices located close to Piazza Maggiore, and never bigger problems.
Except today. Basically
Damocles (my boss, remember?) required me to sit on a chair, while the material is transported from the old office "somewhat" unlikely to removal firms, they arrive first and wait the tables and then (obviously) the PC.
Note that the client, who had warned that removal of office months ago, he wanted a "no loss" of operations during the move.
The server I have also attached, but the client PCs are still in the old premises.

Yes, in fact. Routine.
Of course, many people are home from work today, so highway and city streets were quite livable. If you work today I weigh?
Apart from that right now I'm "turning their thumbs," but ... not really.
I just spent four days of festivities at home, and I'm sure resume January 7, as many do, it would be a "shock" too intense.
Already ... Christmas.
It 's true that there is was that too.
Greetings.
