INTERVISTA

Ciao Teresa benvenuta nel mio blog Italian Emerging Writers, è un piacere per me ospitarti qui! Hai voglia di presentarti?

Ciao Alessandra e grazie per avermi ospitato nel tuo bel blog dedicato agli scrittori emergenti. Mi chiamo Teresa e come molti ho la passione per la scrittura. Una passione che è nata quando ero bambina, grazie a mia madre che sin dalla tenera età mi ha sensibilizzato a leggere prima i grandi classici per ragazzi e poi tutti quei libri che in un modo o nell’altro hanno segnato la storia della letteratura di tutti i tempi. Sono convinta che insegnare ai bambini l’amore per la lettura sia una cosa davvero fondamentale. Why read a good book helps the imagination to grow and develop, then it does not remain anchored to those perceptions that have natural children, but to make it fly higher. Accostatami these books require a certain level, I realized that I would somehow like to write. So enamored of this conviction I started to write a book too, as a child, a yellow to be exact. The same idea has also had my sister. I would note that while we were at the desk in our bedroom, we wrote each of us his manuscript. I especially felt a strong attraction, a certain joy in the record what my imagination suggested to me. I think, infatti, che fin da bambini si mostrano le proprie inclinazioni. E così poi successivamente scrissi altre storie, mentre mia sorella non si cimentò più. Ovviamente sono rimaste incompiute, ma se a distanza di tempo rileggo quegli scritti non mi sorprende ritrovare un grande entusiasmo, una grande inventiva. Per me scrivere era ed è un autentico momento di felicità. Poi, non c’è che dire, sono stata abbastanza fortunata nell’essere dotata di una smisurata fantasia. Certo, quando c’è tanta immaginazione, soprattutto in giovanissima età, non si ha la maturità nel saperla gestire opportunamente. Ma, credo, che comunque è buon punto di partenza per accostarsi al mondo della scrittura.


Tell us about your fantasy novel "The Glass Dolls"?

"The Glass Dolls" is precisely, as you say you love me, a fantasy. It 's a book that came to light in 2007, but was born many years earlier. I started to write it until 1996, but then suddenly I dropped the manuscript. I had written before "The Sand Witches - The Legend of Primrose" and the two stories were similar too. One of my characteristics is that of trying to write books different from each other, so as not to repeat myself, but also to experiment with new ways of telling. I took the manuscript of "The Glass Dolls" later. I was writing my first book of short stories, "Bubble, Bubble! Twelve short stories, "and I just put it in this collection as a long story. But because it was too long, so I decided to publish it separately. The story takes a bit away 'from my original idea, but my intent is to use writing as a place of reflection, as well as avoidance, has succeeded fully.


Where did you get the inspiration for the subject of the book?

The inspiration came to me by reading a small booklet, "The Canterville Ghost" by Oscar Wilde, around the eighties. I tried some time ago, among my papers if he had jotted down the idea (it is my habit when I have an idea write it down in the first paper that happens to me!), but I found nothing. Evidently I did well in the minds. But the book is influenced by other great books like "The Doll" by Boleslaw Prus, "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte and "On the Road" by Jack Kerouak.


What is the character who most represents you?

Mah .. Throughout the book represents me a bit. In every character there is a small part of me. We can talk about favorite character. Well ... Latakia is indisputable that Berard, the beautiful model in Reinhold is in love. I like it because I really love fashion, as a child, besides writing, I have this passion for fashion. I would note that the models in magazines tore the clothes that I liked more and gathered them into a folder containing. And why has a way of looking at life disenchanted, since it has the power of the future. Do not create illusions seems to me a mature way to deal with life. Be careful, do not mean that we should not dream or be alone with his feet on the ground. This no. But I mean in having a certain wisdom in knowing how to make a point to situations, that is dreaming, yes, but holding firmly to reality, precisely to prevent the shattering of our illusions when you have no bend at all. It seems to me that all the characters between Latakia is the absolute best to deliver this message. And then I also like that for his intuition of which I have equipped, a prerogative of us women. We women than men have sometimes that intuition that allows us to avoid certain situations or to understand them. Maybe because we can be mothers.


Which writers have most influenced your style?

There is one writer in particular that has influenced my style, but books. And 'is significant that a text tracks in my field and a sign that I want to admiration, vuoi per emulazione, vuoi per imitazione, ho seguito. Non sono però solo libri che mi sono piaciuti; molto spesso sono libri che non mi sono piaciuti e, allora, per discostarmene ho ricercato un nuovo stile, un nuovo modo di raccontare le mie storie.


Perchè hai scelto il genere fantasy?

Il fantasy è un genere che mi è congeniale. Data la mia traboccante immaginazione. E poi con il fantasy si può spaziare con i vari generi. Puoi costruire storie d’amore, puoi scrivere di mistero, non ci sono limiti. Forse l’unico genere (ma che comunque amo moltissimo) che non si può introdurre è quello del romanzo prettamente storico. Sì... molti libri storici sono fantasiosi, ma rimangono giustamente ancorati al loro tempo.


Quali sono i temi principali del romanzo? E quale messaggio vorresti lanciare ai lettori che leggono il tuo romanzo?

La storia non è molto semplice da raccontare, perché ho costruito una trama molto articolata. Praticamente sono due trame in una. Narra dell’avventura soprannaturale di Reinhold Kyd, un ragazzo di una ventina d’anni, che dovrà combattere contro l’avverso Tempo per liberare la contessina Virginia di Bergeijk da un terribile maleficio. L’intento è quello di dar voce, attraverso le belle frasi pronunciate dai personaggi, a tutta quella sfera di sentimenti e sensazioni che permettono di descrivere una piccola the human dimension. We are made of these feelings and move us toward situations. We can shape, it is true, thanks to free will, but we can not prevent certain things happen in our lives. As such, death. We can delay it, but it is an event that is part of our existence. Then, if the ghosts of the past somehow populate our consciousness can well understand how in our present reality is inextricably part of the past. While the future looks uncertain and our expectations may be disappointed, this is the continuum of the past, we must then reconnect to the history of our ancestors to understand our existence. We are fabric, so to speak, already sewn by those who came before us.


What was your path as a writer? Explain how you even managed to publish your book. Do you have any advice for emerging writers?

Initially I tried to write long stories, but then abandoned the manuscripts, and thus the stories there were still incomplete. Then I ventured a little 'with the poems, but with poor results. And so I chose the stories and from there you understand many things. Especially the dynamics of the narrative. You have an idea and write it down somewhere just to take it up. But while the story the narrative texture is developed in a few pages, with novels have to be careful about many things. The contradictions, for example. Obviously disappear if we re-read the text and meditate. I think it is good to do some creative writing class, but unfortunately are not free, help in some way to develop the idea of \u200b\u200bnarrative text. Writing, in fact, is not speaking yet as the story or novel must be approached as possible to something that is told orally. The Greek tradition with the Iliad and the Odyssey has been handed down this idea of \u200b\u200bnarrative. We know that these two great works were written by Homer, but we also know that were passed down orally. What does this mean? That history has come down to us through the storytellers who repeats it in the streets and the courts of kings. It would be good to read and write every day (the idea of \u200b\u200bkeeping a diary and write down their thoughts of what happened is a good resource for the year), this is the advice I can give to those who want to pull over this coveted job.


When did you discover your passion for writing?

As I said before as a child, a theme played fantastically at home and a poem dedicated to my teacher. These writings of which I speak are the first ever, of course, followed by yellow, and other stories from my personal diary.


Tell us about your other literary works.

I wrote "Sand Witches - The Legend of Primrose." It 's a fantasy tale. Unlike previously published works expected to continue, so the story unfolds in multiple volumes. When I created then I thought about dividing it into five volumes, then I had, as it were an afterthought, dictated by my momentary loss (I was struck by the famous writer's block for a few years and are no longer able to continue the story) , but now I can not give a number to the volume of the saga, but for now I have three more planned over the five already designed. Then, everything will depend on the inspiration of the moment. Meanwhile I'm working on the second volume (it's much bigger than the first!) Which will be titled "Sand Witches - In search of memories." I would like to devote myself to writing other stories, but it is really impossible. Even now that I'm correcting the text ideas to add chapters changing history, so ... However, one thing is certain: the subtitles of the other books in the series were all designed already, so ... wait!


you planning any presentation? Tell us about your future projects.

Yes to the witches' sabbath - The legend of Primrose will make presentations, but for now it is premature talk about it yet since the book was not published. But it is one thing I do: it is important and essential to meet the people, not just talk about history, but also for an ideal comparison with my readers.


You have the sites where they can follow? Where can I buy your books?

course. Amando write I have not resisted the temptation to have blogs. Yes .. I speak in the plural because I had two. The first, "A city transparent to itself" (http://digater.blogspot.com/), was a place where I noted from time to time a story scribbled when I was a bit 'of time. I'm talking about the past because I have recently closed. In fact, this story will probably become a book of the same name and, therefore, no longer seemed appropriate to post it from time to time on the blog. But the blog is still available, that will be online to read the first and the second chapter and then I may come in handy if and when the book comes out because you will write down everything about the book precisely. Additionally, this blog you can see some beautiful pictures I took (my other passion!). The second, "Teresa" (http://tdigaetano.spaces.live.com/) is my personal journal, notes, and really a bit 'of everything. I wanted a po’ ricuperare l’antica idea di blog, perché oggi la maggior parte dei blog sono tematici (o si parla solo di recensioni di libri, o solo di recensioni di film), invece ho ripreso l’antica idea del blog che era un diario on line dove poter pubblicare le proprie vicende.

Per quanto riguarda i miei libri, si possono acquistare soprattutto su internet. Ad esempio su ibs, bol.it, etc. e sul sito della Casa editrice, ecco i link rispettivamente per “La bambola di vetro” e “Conchiglia... e altri racconti”:

Vorrei precisare che la Casa editrice spedisce eventualmente il libro alle librerie che lo ordineranno. Basta mettersi direttamente in contatto con loro, compilando l’apposito modulo presente sul sito.


Questa era l'ultima domanda. Vuoi aggiungere qualcosa prima di lasciarci?

Sì... spero mi seguirete numerosi nel mio difficile percorso di aspirante scrittrice, perché la mia passione è autentica, genuina. Amo scrivere perché è un pò come vivere tante vite, quelle dei miei personaggi, con storie diverse sì ma con un unico intento: far volare lontano la fantasia.

Interview with Federico CRAMPONS

Cari lettori ,



the interview that follows was made Federica Ramponi, author of the book that I reviewed in my blog Diary of Thoughts Lost "Vitar's heir."
I recommend his book because although it is not very long really was a pleasant read and Federica is a really nice person and available!










Hello Federico, you want to introduce yourself to readers? Tell us a little about yourself.
Alessandra Hello! First of all, thanks for your time! My name is Federico Ramponi, Class 73, Diploma in Languages, Mom (Helen di 6 anni e Alessandra di quasi 3), moglie di Fabio, impiegata, cantante e scrittrice a tempo molto, molto perso. Tutte queste attività si sono accumulate nel corso degli anni, e sono una la conseguenza/causa dell'altra. Prima di conoscere mio marito cantavo nei pianobar, poi ho smesso perché sono arrivate le bambine e allora ho cominciato a scrivere perché in maternità avevo un po' di tempo libero e l'ispirazione. Adesso che le pupe sono svezzate ho ricominciato a cantare proprio con Fabio, però non voglio smettere di scrivere, ma mi rendo conto che il tempo a mia disposizione è scaduto… quindi sono lenta: sono ferma a pag. 119 del nuovo romanzo da almeno un mese. Però in testa c'è tutto, e molto altro! E poi Elena is a great gym constantly asks me to make up stories! I love reading, especially science fiction, fantasy and yellow: each time I look at the library and I think it will take me until 2035 to read everything, but I do not lose hope! The house is always in disorder and chaos reigns supreme, but the cleaning of the base ... I


What do you like the fantasy / science fiction? Why did you decide to write a book on the genre?

Even as a child watching Star Trek with my mom, and always with her films with Cary Grant, Doris Day, Audrey Hepburn movies ... those beautiful 50's loads of feeling, so romantic! Nella mia testa si deve essere creato un mix latente fino a oggi! Della fantascienza mi piace quasi tutto, tranne quella più violenta o splatter, quindi largo a Star Trek, Star Wars, Asimov, Silverberg, Wells, Verne, i classici dell'Età d'Oro, ma anche certo Dick e altri più moderni, però al momento sono un po' poco aggiornata. Mi piace come descrivono la nostra possibile vita da qui all'infinito, l'incontro con altre civiltà, non solo le scoperte e le invenzioni, ma anche i cambiamenti della società, le conseguenze a cui possono portare determinati comportamenti reali, il quadro, ottimista o pessimista, del nostro futuro se non fermiamo in tempo lo spreco, la violenza e la cecità delle nostre azioni. Fa riflettere and critique of modern society and no one can restrain it, because the government is talking of a given nation, but the tyrant of Planet XYZ. It has passed the complaint on several occasions in this way. Fantasy, which also can have the same value in some cases, but I like the complete evasion, the dream, the dream-like dimension of its representations and magic that pervades the narratives.
My novel is based on a dream, and until I set up "virtual paper" did not know he wanted to quit! In my subconscious mind had to be mixed a bit 'of love stories of old movies and ships led by blue-skinned aliens, and here's a novel that combines my favorite lines!


Since you mentioned your story, tell us a little bit of "The heir of Vitar?
It 's a fantasy-harmony: as my father once said, you have just written a story of love between the stars. It has taken us!
It 's a bit like I told a story: the princess Feri, Vitar the world, lived in almost complete isolation at the age of 21 years must choose her future husband among those proposed within a limited the principles of the planets of the League of Llety, a confederation of planets more or less similar in both technology and tradition. Unfortunately one of these, Drel, coffin, in the sense that plagiarizes Feri's parents that the selection sia quasi obbligata, e quando lei scopre che Drel ha un'amante e che questa l'ha probabilmente aiutato nel loro assassinio, cerca una scappatoia legale a questo matrimonio forzato. Il Primo Ministro l'aiuta: deve cercare un contendente da opporre a Drel, che vanti diritti sulla successione al trono, ma lei compie un errore di rotta e precipita sulla Terra, arretrata e quindi non molto studiata su Vitar. S'imbatte in Jason, un terrestre che fa parte di un'associazione governativa per la ricerca di vita extraterrestre (COSS), innamorandosene al primo sguardo. Per evitare di essere tenuta sotto osservazione dal COSS, assume l'identità di una terrestre appena deceduta e si adegua in fretta alla sua nuova vita, ma deve cercare di ripartire in fretta altrimenti Drel will find it. While searching for a way to regain possession of his shuttle, Jason goes back alive, but does not recognize it reciprocates her feelings and she does not feel over leaving Earth ... because he might just be the solution!

E 'was great fun writing it, especially in parts where there is Michael, I noticed one of the most beloved characters. Perhaps it is ironic and irreverent? Anyway, I'm fond of him, but the hero is Jason, looking like the sun (a mix between an actor not well known and my husband) but a bit 'loser in love ... Feri has many qualities that I do not I, for example, is very brave, ma anche ligia al dovere. Prima di opporsi a Drel, deve trovare un modo lecito. Ecco, io sono abbastanza ligia al dovere, ma piuttosto pecorona… Il Primo Ministro è una figura affettiva molto importante per lei, e rappresenta la colonna portante del suo mondo. Drel e Fleni sono dei cattivi forse un po' standard, un po' stereotipati, ma mi sono venuti in mente così e in un certo senso mi piacevano.
Ho dovuto trovare tante soluzioni perché il sogno non mi ha dato tutti i motivi o i retroscena: il filo logico che legasse tutti i vari avvenimenti ho dovuto metterlo io. Sarebbe stato comodo altrimenti! E ho cambiato tantissime piccole cose: se rileggo la prima stesura fa un po' ridere, soprattutto nei dialoghi… Feri the beginning was much more silly!


You said in your imagination jason is a mix between an actor not well known and your husband ... what is the actor you mentioned that Jason is in your imagination?




There will be a sequel to this book?

Actually for me this was a romance in the sense that I did not know if I continued to write after finishing the novel. The truth is that I'm really into, and started churning out so many short stories. For the story of Jason and Feri, as many readers have asked me what happens next, I made to think that after all there are several doors open again, some possibilities that could be developed. And so, I have a vague, very vague idea of \u200b\u200bwhat might happen, so that page. 3. There are complications, and reveal some features of the past Vitar that are not so uplifting, maybe ... I have not yet clear where I'm going with this, I know that happens quite a slump, I wonder if I can resolve the situation! And 'that I have two more on a waiting list of at least two years: one is about half, and it is a fantasy, but after I had to write another novel with a non-fiction love story as a thread , which broods in 2007. And the characters still I did not forgive ...


You said you write in his spare time and you started during pregnancy. You always liked to write or has been a pleasant surprise? You would have expected to see your novel published?

When I was in school, the themes that I liked most were the ones to write "invents a story that begins," and inventing stories for my little brother and my cousin, who were protagonists of the animals. I've always had a great imagination, but I thought it was enough to start writing. I also had to acquire a certain maturity, to give logic to the events and watch, shall we say, from a point detached view, otherwise all the characters would speak with my voice! I was fifteen years old when I started my first novel, still stuck at the first chapter, I wrote and rewrote it for years. Then I gave up: o the story did not make sense, or I was not ready. Perhaps when I finish the other projects I mentioned, will be the case to see if you can save something!

There is a saying that in life we \u200b\u200bmust do three things: plant a tree, have a child and write a book. When Elena was born we planted a Japanese medlar, which last year gave the first (very sweet) fruits. So I missed the book. Seriously, I never dreamed of being able to publish it: already able to write such a long history (I know that real novels river are hundreds of pages long, but for me 168 were already a bunch!) that made any sense to me seemed an enormous task. I think if I had some friends encouraged writers (Chiara Guidarini and Antonia Romagnoli), known as stretch out the novel, there would never come. It took a certain constancy in refusing deals with aid, though a few were even attractive, and a large internet search of publishers who submit the manuscript, and a nice little 'patience and waiting ...


A public which is aimed your book? What is the message che lanci al lettore?

Principalmente a un pubblico femminile fra i 14 e i 40 anni, alle eterne sognatrici e alle romanticone. Non so di preciso che cosa mi sono prefissa come messaggio: qualcuno ci ha visto la critica alla società consumista, qualcun altro un chiaro messaggio ecologista… Io credo soltanto che l'amore arrivi quando e da dove meno te lo aspetti! E che possiamo prendere tutte le contromisure che vogliamo: se gli alieni esistono e arrivano fin qui, vuol dire che sono talmente avanti come tecnologia rispetto alla nostra che non riusciremo a fermarli in nessun modo (con buona pace del secondo tempo di Indipendence day…).


Qual è il tuo romanzo preferito? reflects more than you and that you keep forever in the heart?

There are several books that I particularly like: for science fiction, "Night" and Asimov's "The penultimate truth Dick. "Pride and Prejudice" in Austin and "Once Upon a Time" I think Christie's will always remain indelible in my heart! For the novel that reflects me, easy: I! To his misfortune Feri think with my head ...


What do you feel to recommend to the writers who would like to see their novel published? Do you think it's a good way to make themselves known to participate in the tournament literature?

I do not know if they are able to give advice righteous, but I can tell as I did: the experiences will be used to something, at least to share! First of all, I have been looking for someone to tell me if the story made sense, if there were things that just do not want to change or be reconciled. Then I searched on the internet straight to occur at a publishing house, and I arrived at the hut of Beginners: advice to all aspiring writers to visit, it's free and the people who run it are cute, helpful and very very smart! I followed all the directions, including that of sending the manuscript to review their readers: the result was to meet new friends (and Chiara Guidarini Walter Serra, also writers), and at the same time improve il romanzo, che si è anche arricchito di alcune pagine. Poi ho partecipato a qualche concorso, perché nel curriculum volevo mettere qualcosa di più attinente al settore letterario (fino a quel momento avrei potuto mettere solo "mamma, moglie, impiegata e cantante di pianobar", che sono tutte attività lodevoli ma non c'entrano niente coi libri…). I miei racconti sono andati bene, così il mio nome ha cominciato a circolare, e in questo modo ho ottenuto due risultati: avere qualche trascorso letterario da poter segnalare alle case editrici e fare pubblicità ai miei scritti, perché magari se piace il racconto qualcuno si incuriosisce e cerca il romanzo! La ricerca dell'editore è stata lunga, e ho dovuto avere pazienza, e probabilmente senza l'aiuto di Chiara e di Antonia Romagnoli (altra scrittrice che nel frattempo avevo conosciuto) mi sarei inchinata alle proposte con contributo. Però volevo essere pubblicata se valida, non se pagante. Ho aspettato a lungo, ma alla fine ce l'ho fatta!
Direi che bisogna leggere parecchio, ma non in fretta, studiando se possibile lo stile di chi ci piace di più; un corso di scrittura creativa, anche breve, non sarebbe male (ne ho seguito uno, gratuito, condotto da Stas Gawronsky!); è bene confrontarsi con i lettori partecipando a concorsi con i propri racconti (anche in questo caso ce ne sono tantissimi gratis, insomma si capisce che sono tirchia…) e avere tanta pazienza e soprattutto umiltà: mai pensare che la propria opera sia un capolavoro e se gli altri la pensano diversamente sono degli incompetenti! Mai pensare di essere arrivati: il bello è la strada e con chi la percorri! Non devo perdere di vista la componente ludica: è divertimento ideare una trama, è soddisfazione personale riuscire a scrivere la parola "Fine", è meraviglioso incontrare nuove amiche con cui condividere dubbi, sconfitte, vittorie! Io sono appena partita, vedremo se saprò migliorare, continuare o se questo rimarrà il mio primo e ultimo romanzo! Di sicuro non sono ancora una scrittrice, ma ce la sto mettendo tutta!
