Mount And Blade 1,010

response II: writer's block and writing process

few days ago I received a few more questions Narrator, one of the readers of this blog.

Si en la primera ocasión, las cuestiones giraban en torno al mundo de la co-edición, a la búsqueda de editoriales y al registro  , esta vez el tema se centra más en el proceso de escritura.

Las preguntas que se hace este lector son las siguientes (las respondo por orden para no dejarme nada):


¿Recuerdas cual fue la primera frase que consignaste en tu novela? ¿Sobrevivió o se sacrificó para permiterte arrancar y darlo todo?

Recuerdo perfectamente la primera frase I used to start my novel (well I have it saved somewhere on my computer. When I change things in my stories I like to keep the former case then I repented of the changes.)

In this case the sentence was completely sacrificed for the sake of the work. And not just the first sentence but virtually the entire first chapter which was rewritten and placed in a new setting and different characters (at least two gave their lives for a third party that was born of nothing).

Not that that first chapter was wrong (the first paragraph if it was awful) but I realize that the beginning was very weak and immature (which is normal because he had written in 2004, with 19 years) and I thought a different scene that was infinitely better (rewrote last year 25 years).

This is the first phrase of my novel before I started changing the first chapter:

"The night was pitch-dark ..."

responded to something that the protagonist was writing a blog of notes in a library. But as I say, that phrase and what was missing to make room for the currently is written.

The phrase that took the place of the above is:

"Did you sleep well, Angela?"

be thinking I guess the old phrase promised more, but I think agree with me that the new is better when you can read the four lines following this question ... ;)

continue with issues Narrator:


How's your writing process?

I think about the writing process I talked about in other entries included in the label " my first novel ", so if you are bored sometime you can take a look, as they are enough.

But in summary, my writing process is based on three main steps:
  1. General Development of the plot. Picture of the story: It would basically decide the plot of the novel and briefly raise the beginning, the middle and the ending. Know what will happen in the story, what is to be treated.
  2. Documentation: Finding Information necessary for the proper development of the story. Depending on the topic here will be more extensive or less. For example, if a historical novel or if there are real people, documentation plays a very important, is the case of my novel, for example-but the documentation will also be necessary if we are talking about places, events that have happened, technological inventions, science, etc. Nor is it necessary to write a treatise or dissertation, but as a reader I appreciate that a story is well documented and que me gusta ofrecer lo mismo. (Este paso no tiene por que ir en segundo lugar, puede ir antes del primero o a la vez que el tercero).
  3. Escritura en sí: Una vez que ya sé sobre qué quiero escribir es el momento de empezar a redactar. La documentación puede continuar a la vez que se escribe la historia, conforme vaya necesitando saber cosas nueva para completar la información que ya tengo.
Y ese sería mi proceso de escritura en general. Yo tengo una libreta en la que voy anotando todo lo que se me va ocurriendo para la historia, las dudas que se me plantean, la información que necesito y la que encuentro, frases interesantes que me vienen a head and even drawings and sketches of scenes that I make up or things that appear in the story (emblems, character costumes ... everything I think is important).

As for the question ...



Did you have to rectify many parts? At what point have you been satisfied?

I had to rectify a lot, yes. I suppose that you who are accustomed to writing have heard on countless occasions that a story that should be left "to rest" and should be read by other people in order to be perfected.

Bueno, eso es totalmente cierto.

Cuando escribes ocurre como cuando dibujas o como cuando ves un cuadro muy de cerca: estás tan metido en la obra que pierdes la perspectiva y no eres capaz de apreciar los errores. Es necesario que te alejes de ella, que des unos pasos atrás para poder ver el cuadro en su conjunto, que la guardes un tiempo y luego la vuelvas a sacar para poder verla con "nuevos ojos".

Podríais preguntaros "¿cómo voy a ver una obra de manera distinta si es la misma obra? Si no he encontrado fallos la primera vez que la leo, ¿cómo voy a encontrarlos la segunda vez si lo que hay escrito es lo mismo?"

As the case is yes. In a second reading are failures that had not seen in the first, third find mistakes that you had not seen in the second or the first and fourth are mistakes that you did not see either the third or the second or in the first.
And what's worse, when you teach someone else's work, it found errors in it that you, after zillions of these reviews, had not yet seen ...
And more: when you teach the work to a second person, it locates faults that neither you nor the first reader had found.

Thus
.

So yes, I had to correct many parts, I had to delete stuff and add or extend other, correct scores ... and I've spent all of the above.
I lost count of the number of corrections that I made and the number of revisions to my novel has undergone a total of six readers, as well as mine.

Satisfied I think it'll be until you see it published and see what they like and most reviews are positive. And yet, sure I will continue to find things that could be better. Lol I'm very demanding.

About

Well, to finish (which I have been one of my posts endless). Narrator I also wondered about the dreaded writer's block , but talked about it long ago in another post so I invite you to read if you have not already done and you are interested in the topic:)
With regard to the blockade, also spoke on another occasion on inspiration and muses

And finally, also spoke at the time about how the characters themselves take on a life and are what help you write deciendo for themselves what will happen in history.

I hope I have answered all the questions and this post I have found useful or at least interesting:)

Monthly Cost Of Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatment

March News

As many of us have to Monday on our blacklist of days a week now ; bring input and entertaining Sencillito endosaros rather than one of my regular "posts" quixotic;)

The month of March comes complete with new literary so I leave you with a wide selection of books whose synopsis I have drawn attention to one of the publishers I've discovered recently: Red Circle.

This is the new that we offer this month:

News March 2011 publisher Red Circle


1957, A NOVEL IN WHITE AND BLACK!

Author: Joaquin Cruz
Collection: Circle Red - Fiction
Pages: 340
ISBN: 978-84-9991-076-5
Formats: Paperback with flaps
Size: 15x21 cm
Editorial: Editorial Red Circle
Price : € 14.95

No matter where we live. Never mind that we say or we think it is a wonderful place, cheerful, bright ... because you know how we hide dark spots in our eyes, to our knowledge? Are there where you least expect them, pray because you are waiting for you or yours.

thriller Can a part be tender and even sentimental? With this novel the author creates an environment in which the reader does not cost too familiar with the character (the poor Matthias, a modest turner and father with great pretensions to be happy with his wife and children) and to partake with him of the doubts, decisions or too often fatal avatars that life has kindly let us know without ever having considered whether it should do or not.

in on it, the reader is not absolutely necessary to have recourse to the brutality of the language to understand without much effort that the facts are harrowing and altogether chilling for mortal souls. Is a narrative that could be classified as peaceful, but at no time that evil lurks and lurks near.


WHY IS THERE

ISBN: 978
-84-9991-031-4 Formats: Paperback with flaps

En el verano de 2009, Pedro Galán decidió embarcarse en el mayor desafío de su vida: dar la vuelta al mundo acompañado únicamente de su mochila. La idea del viaje anidaba en su cabeza desde niño, cuando soñaba con emular las peripecias de Phileas Fogg, el personaje de Julio Verne. Sin embargo, tuvieron que pasar muchos años para que el protagonista de esta historia encontrara un motivo que le hiciera salir de su rutina y enfrentarse al reto de dar la vuelta a su mundo: hacer sonreír a una mujer.

"Porque está ahí" es la crónica, escrita en primera persona, de los sesenta y five-day adventure and which earned the author a radical shift in his understanding of life. A relatively straightforward and full of intensity whose texts, written during the long nights of travel, retain all the freshness and authenticity of the moment.

has in his hands the conquest of two of the dreams of a person who loves to travel and who deeply loves literature: round the world and write a book, but the main victory behind these pages is to discover our own freedom. Or complete travel packages or large bags, or even company: all you need to accomplish what you set out is yourself. Why is there could ser la historia de su vida si algún día decidiese levantarse y andar.

Disfrute del viaje.

¡Qué sería de nuestra vida sin las amigas, sin esas reuniones casi secretas, clandestinas (para tu novio o tu marido) donde se pueden tocar desde los temas más trascendentales hasta los más banales!

do not know what I'd do without them!

Honestly, for me and I am sure for many of you, we have far surpassed any secret society at the highest level, because our private circle is closed, and very powerful minority. Our meetings are the best therapy, "after work", I mean after work. Show off that I have from 3 years studying English at a bilingual school! It was time to take advantage.

If you need to distract and throw you a few laughs ... I recommend this book.
If you are unmotivated at work and need therapy (it's cheaper to hire reading this book endless self-help meetings).

If you have friends ... here are some imaginary to accompany.
If you ... maybe you identify with any of them.
If you what books you are going deep ... you're in luck because we look at life from optics that you had never arisen.

If you go hang out, you have assured entertainment.

Is it just us?
In principle, yes. But do not exclude them because they might want to investigate how we think, how we are and have first-hand.


Mandylion the manuscript of

Un conocido monasterio italiano contiene una importante biblioteca de papiros y pergaminos, entre ellos se encuentra un antiguo manuscrito que procede de la desaparecida ciudad de Edesa. Sus símbolos presentan un sistema numérico relacionado con la misteriosa construcción de la pirámide de Keops, la divinidad del Santo Sudario de Jesús y el avistamiento de ciertos fenómenos extraterrestres.

Los análisis de sus inscripciones han ocasionado el asesinato de un científico, y los monjes de la abadía han decidido enviar, en secreto, el Manuscrito de Edesa REHISMAT the prestigious organization, to identify the meaning of these codes, and their relationship to the power of Mandylion.

addition, Professor of Astronomy, Alexandre, who works as a symbol in this project scientist-religious, will be conditioned, and threats, the deciphering of this papyrus to free a student who has been kidnapped.

This final decision is linked to a disturbing study of research that has remained unanswered for many centuries.

What Does Ghost Dye Against In Pokemon

Another Red Circle criticism! In my novel this time.

other input to let you express criticism of a reader of the blog.

Maria, blog Corner Endless , I asked the four sample chapters that some time ago I offered to mail to those readers who were interested in checking them out and share with me your opinion. Mary, having read them, and said about them:)

"Well, first of all say that I found very interesting selection of chapters you've done. It is very successful, because you get to intuit something of the history, but is there in simple intuition, and therefore want to read the entire increase: 3

Also I think you're very detailed, and that adds value to your work, because it shows you've spent time and many many rehearsals. To my taste, I'm a few descriptions, too many, but again, that's going to taste;)

Now, in relation to what I've been, to say that the first chapter is very realistic to me made the scene look like a movie in my mind. Also did you get to see the scenes of the other chapters in this way. That in my opinion, it is very difficult to achieve, and I applaud you for it. On 9 .... well, I've had worse, because I spent some fear .... but this is it. At number 13 has been revealed some detail. I also love all the metaphors that are made with a chess board, I have always considered very symbolic. I loved it: D compared to last ... just say that I think these scenes should be very complicated to write, but to you has been great.

As for history in general, I think a very interesting approach to the vampire theme, which is so trite today. If you can make a gap and show that this novel is unlike any other, will have much success. I hope someday to read the rest of them, mind ^ ^ " (Mary, Endless Corner )

Thanks!
very encouraged me to be receiving such positive reviews, but at the same time, I'm a little scared in case the rest of the novel does not like or if you have not read anything I expect too much and then disappoint you.
I hope not. Let's see if we will soon know!

you'll have a great weekend, readers:)
