Here is the interview that I wanted to shoot a lot of time! ^ _ ^
1-First of all, a small presentation. What's your name? Where does your passion for the fantasy genre?
My name is Chiara. The passion for fantasy born indoctrination I suffered as a child. Before falling asleep, instead of fairy tales, which frightened me to death, my mother was reading the novels of John Campbell Jr. soon I learned to read by myself, I continued on that road, feeding on fantasy and science fiction.
2-Tell me about your passion for writing. When did you discover within you the desire to create stories?
When I realized that to make a film, even a few short minutes, it took money and working with other people. ^ _ ^
I started writing around the time of the opening of the blog, I was first drawn to the cinema.
3-What does it mean for you to write?
distinction must be made. Part of writing as design, what do you even while you eat, you brush or six lessons and daydreaming. So I would spend whole days. Instead put your dreams on paper is hard work. The moment of satisfaction which makes concrete the dream is just a moment. The rest is revision, study, documentation, rewrite. It is a big job.
4-How did the stories of Laura and Silvia Consciousness Quantum Maga?
The idea behind Laura was to choose a character the opposite of the current cliché, place in a fantasy setting and see what happened. Laura is beautiful, is not intelligent, has no power. It is between the ordinary and an airhead. I still believe is a good character, but I admit that at that time did not have the capacity techniques to write better. I do not think that Laura's novel is poorly written, but needs further revision. I'll sooner or later.
Silvia instead stems from the idea of \u200b\u200b"real magic". If you really could do anything you want, if you really could turn wishes into reality - without limits - what would happen?
not a new idea, similar stories have already been written differently, by HG Wells in Rudy Rucker, but I think that Silvia can carve a niche of originality.
5-What do you want to express through writing?
Nothing. I will not communicate messages or meanings, I will not give anything beyond the events of that story. There is no morality, there are only facts.
6-You are already well known online for your blog Shrimp fantasy. How and why did your business blogger?
The shrimp come from dissatisfaction with the quality of Italian sites and blogs that deal with fantasy. There was - is - a suffocating atmosphere of incompetence and dishonesty. So in the summer of 2007 my brother and I believe we can do better and we opened the blog.
7-The fantasy is a genre that is spreading like wildfire here in Italy for a while 'time, with results well not always judged by the critics. What do you think of Italian fantasy?
Rubbish.
8-Do you think that the publication is the fundamental step of writing?
Yes I believe that writing has meaning only if it is read by someone. Thus the passage of the "make public" is essential. But it is not essential to the publication in the traditional sense (the novel in bookstores). It is important that you read, not the means by which to reach the public.
9-What advice to aspiring writers, even in view of the publication?
If we talk about publishing in the traditional sense, I suggest friend to be someone at some publishing house and lick it until it recommends. If we talk about how to make public publication, or an act of altruism for which you want to offer the reader a good story, the usual advice is: study the narrative technique, read tons of books, practice it every day.
The speech, however, is long, you've already done here: http://fantasy.gamberi.org/2010/10/28/editoria-fantasy-in-italia/
10 - Writers are born or made? Just the pure talent to write well, or must rely on aid theorists such as manuals and advice from already established writers?
You become. Talent is only potential. You can have the greatest talent of all time for the long jump, but if you stay in a chair all day without practicing one hour, the Olympics did not win.
