Here is the interview the author of "Shadow the Enchantress."
1-First of all, the presentations. Where do you live, what do you do in life or you want to do, such as are your passions.
I live in Italy and my job got to do very little with the fantasy, for now I decided to keep separate the two.
As for the fantasy I have a lot of projects, and do not have time to develop them all. Not only related to writing, but also to play the video industry, because I went for several months in Setting Department of Planeshift and write scripts for video games.
Regarding Eydor instead I'm working environment, in particular I am creating a city to stage a series of short stories. Finally I am trying to develop the sub-genre "spy fantasy."
2-Tell me about your passion for writing. When did you discover within you the desire to create stories? What does this mean for you to write?
I like to create and tell stories, and indeed, I always thought it was a desire common to all human beings. I can not find a time when it is "born" this passion, I think there's ever been. Finally
write to me, is just one of many possible methods to communicate a story.
3-Why did you choose the fantasy genre?
Adolescence is difficult to say. Or maybe I chose it because it is a genre where you can develop the creative and on ... But this is part of a review.
4-How did the idea for the Shadow the Enchantress? What did you want to express with this story?
I was inspired by a girl. Like all my stories, in one way or another. Always start from a woman.
Regarding the second question, I did not quote any particular message ... Oh, maybe there came a shout, but unintentionally, in fact in the story often evokes a question: to forgive is correct when a person you love?
5-The fantasy is a genre that is spreading like wildfire here in Italy for a while 'time, with good results are not always judged by the critics. What do you think of Italian fantasy?
I do not follow the Italian fantasy, I read only the "queen of Italian fantasy" and I have not appreciated. If others are worse than I said forget it. All marketing efforts to ride the wave of success. Then I discovered Fantasy
shrimp, since my opinion on the Italian fantasy has become much clearer, but they are things of the past. Today on the Web seems to me that the prevailing opinion is the general contempt and I agree.
Some may not save, but still has not earned my trust.
If someone with the Creative Commons promise I'll read it now.
6-Speak any publishing projects. Points to the publication by a publishing house?
not see it as a necessary step to me just the audience.
And I do not know if a publisher is willing to publish them. As many know I do not like the current system is handled copyright, and publishers may be unwilling to publish Creative Commons (or similar licenses).
7 - Do you think that the publication is the fundamental step of writing?
Publication as a "presentation of the work to the public," yes. Absolutely. The public is very important and offers lots of opportunities to improve. Their advice and support they can provide are very important, perhaps even essential to achieve excellence.
Even publishers might help, but they are secondary and possible.
8 - Do you think that success is important for a writer?
I believe that today's success is a word unclear. Fame and money may be nice, but there are some areas where the most important success.
A story to be beautiful does not have to be advertised in newspapers or on TV. It does not even make the author rich.
But a success story should satisfy the public that the law, yes, it is important. And this is for me success.
9 - Other qualities that, in your opinion, a good writer must possess
The usual. It 'good to be honest and deal properly with people around us. Not only the public, but everyone of them. Another important quality is an open mind to learn and improve every day, need the courage to finally take action to get involved.
Then I also want to mention creativity. Sometimes I assume it is something to be cultivated.
10-Finally, a question much discussed at this time. Writers are born or made? Just the pure talent to write well, or must rely on aid theorists such as manuals and tips writers already established?
Hehe. This is another of the threads that try to avoid. Why?
discuss what is or whether it is necessary to improve the talent does not help, so for me it is a useless concept. And the talent is often used as an excuse to hide behind. One says "I have no talent" and spring there was an excuse to surrender. During
education and based on the life experiences you end up with a preference of gender or another, but the concept of talent as a "genetic" does not exist, is a bogey.
passion rather than ensuring that there is a push and become better, to be more daring and engage.
and the passing of knowledge (via manual or otherwise) is the basis of all human achievements. I do not ever put into question.
