When I have an idea for a story, I usually write it down on the first piece of paper I have nearby, along with ideas for the blog. Now I have endless piles of recycled paper and every now and then I have to tidy up, reread the notes, understand what to save and what to throw away, copy everything onto yet another sheet of paper. It takes a while before I promote an idea to file. But when the promotion starts then the idea has a title, it is no longer just an idea, but a story. Then it also happens that what I thought was a story turns into a novel in my head and vice versa.
The problem arises when I decide to write that story, because the question that arises is: what am I writing? Is it really something that can entertain audiences? And how many will like it? Writing fiction for me means telling unheard stories, magnetizing readers. CLICK TO TWEET Last week I wanted to reflect on what to change in Phone Number Data blogging - a topic I'll return to tomorrow, but in a different way - and today I'll try to do the same, but with creative writing. Novels: which ones do you prefer? This year my reading went decidedly badly, between personal thoughts and narrative impatience I will have abandoned 10-12 novels. So the 60-odd books read last year will remain a dream.
But I don't think it's all my fault. If I have to take stock, I have read very little that is innovative, that is so extraordinarily out of the ordinary. Pass me the expression, I won't delete it anyway. My question: which novels would you prefer to read? Style: which one are you passionate about? The last book I abandoned also had a writing style that didn't convince me, that didn't keep me glued to the pages. The phrases were words, not music. And the story, well, I didn't understand where it was going. But I already said that style plays an important role in the story. If we are tired - at least I am - of always reading the same stories, aren't we also tired of always finding the same writing styles? Style is personal, it's true, so shouldn't it, like the blog, make the writer stand out?
