Dark Knight With Digital Copy

One day in district court

Il leggendario giudice Roy Bean, "la legge a ovest del Pecos".


La storia di Amanda ha scatenato una serie di polemiche sul tema: sarebbe stato legale fare il nome dell'agente lettararia, oppure no? Anche se le motivazioni scatenanti che giustificano (per così dire) la polemica sono fortemente illogiche, penso che l'argomento possa essere di interesse abbastanza generale per dedicargli un breve post.

Il ragionamento, ammesso che tale si possa definire, in sostanza è: non è vietato pubblicare con nomi e cognomi le email di cui sei il destinatario, e quindi tutta la storia di Amanda è una balla.

Questa would be nonsense even if the premise were true, because the fact that I could be wrong on the Italian case law does not automatically mean that the story of Amanda is false, at least for those who populate the right side of the Gaussian .

In addition, the premise is also false, which should satisfy even those on the left - if not in bad faith.

As I said, I think the argument can be of general interest, so I'll make a brief summary.

The facts: a journalist subscribes to a mailing list public used by judges to exchange news and views. Registration is free, open to anyone . The giornalista, trovando interessanti alcune delle email che ha ricevuto, le pubblica sul proprio giornale con tanto di nomi e cognomi. Alcuni dei componenti della mailing list lo denunciano e lo citano per danni.

La sentenza: il Tribunale di Milano, I sezione civile, condanna il giornalista al pagamento di 15.000 euro di danni e altri 11.000 e rotti per spese accessorie. In particolare, la sentanza fa riferimento proprio all'art. 15 della Costituzione da me citato.

Qui potete leggere l'intera sentenza.


C'è anche un'altra osservazione da fare: il giornalista non ha dovuto inventarsi una falsa identità e un relativo indirizzo di posta per iscriversi alla mailing list: l'iscrizione was free to anyone.

now, then it may be that the reporter is acquitted in the Supreme Court. But I should take the risk to go through three steps to review what to do despite a couple of prima donnas who like to think that Amanda's story is false, and that we still shit when it is established that but is it true?

There's another question then, beyond the legal issues, and most importantly, the literary agent Xyzxyz Lady is not a monster, not the stone of scandal and does not deserve to be pilloried. In the experiment, the Lady Xyzxyz was the instrument of measure of a general situation goes far beyond his intentions and his will, and whose guilt can not be unloaded on her.

Remote Car Starter Not Responding

Kindness for kindness


Uriel Fanelli A few days ago that I was part of a dedicated post on his blog (thanks to the Anonymous who pointed out to me). As this took me a lot 'of contacts, I want to return the favor.

http://www.wolfstep.cc/2010/09/il-mercato-dei-paraculi.html

I agree 100% with his analysis of the seven that make up tricks to sell the poor footage of the newsroom's editorial today, and I think Amanda should experiment to confirm this.

Question: if the experiment Amanda is in total agreement with what he says, chemminchia Uriel Fanelli want from me then? ^____^

Reading here and there on his blog, I suspect that the boy is so in contrast to finish up everything to be in contrast with the counter (yes, count as double negative). So, if you think like him but you say the same thing before him and more effectively (the young person is awake but does not have the gift of synthesis), Vittorio Sgarbi reacts like a transvestite at a party when he learns that c 'is another of him dressed as Veronica Lake.

Returning to his post, Uriel Fanelli takes an I share fully the mechanisms of choice for publishers, but also tells of crap.

Meanwhile, according to him want to become a publishing event. Too bad that I did not write no book-publishing world on the complaint, nor do I intend to write, but just a quick post on my blog.

Then, on the first and last names makes it a bit 'too easy. It is probably ignorant on the subject, because the example that the thief is a light tight. The thief has in fact committed a crime, Mrs. Xyzxyz not. I do not know if Uriel Fanelli is deliberately confusing judicial proceedings and "complaint" as a journalist is either very confused or in bad faith because it is trivially obvious that they are two different things, being the first given to the Prosecutor's Office while the second is addressed to the reading public and with very different purposes.

As I said, I did not put the literary agent's name I mentioned it to reveal the contents of private correspondence and telephone calls is a crime. Also, if I put in, the lady could always deny everything.

Whether then confirmed or denied that he had all the Lady Xyzxyz could easily have sued for defamation, because Italian law does not make any difference if what you said is true or false (art. 596 Criminal Code). To defame someone sufficiente nuocere alla sua reputazione, anche dicendo cose vere. Non puoi commettere invece pubblica diffamazione quando vai a denunciare un presunto ladro, perché alla denuncia manca la caratteristica di essere pubblica . Al limite, puoi commettere il reato di calunnia nel caso in cui il presunto ladro risulti poi essere innocente, ma per la calunnia va dimostrato il dolo , ovvero il fatto che tu abbia ingiustamente accusato un innocente sapendolo innocente.

A proposito: se proprio non avete un cazzo da fare vi invito a leggere questo post di Uriel. È un po' ripetitivo e prolisso, ma il tema è interessante, e si direbbe proprio un articolo di denuncia. I invite you to find some names of some guilty, if you can. I know the names of clubs and their owners ...

Transparent Materials Adapter Hp Psc

ROTFL


Interview with Maurizio Costa, Vice President and Chief Executive Officer Mondadori.

A few steps from sbellicarsi:

seems the picture of 'publishing without publishers' marketing led by André Schiffrin told in the pamphlet: editorial choices dictated by sales. Is that so?

"No. Meanwhile, the marketing is not is an abject, even though I prefer to call customer service: the proposal to let them know right quick deliveries and the product, whether books, magazines or newspapers. Today Digital gives us the opportunity to interpret the client and suggest what they want .

insist: but if you are sure that a book will sell, it published or not?

"With the spread of new forms of economic risks will be lower, we will greatly expand the offer. But who knows the publishing business knows that there is no editor who says this book is good but you do not publish. Ours is still a work idealists. "

White Mucus Discharge

The talented Amanda


Xyzxyz Dear Madam, my name is Amanda Curcio

. I'm seventeen years old and blind since I was ten. This fortunately does not prevent me to imagine other worlds, and so in the past two years I spent much of my free time writing a fantasy novel that can be found in the Annex. It is a story set in a world dark and decadent, sometimes in brilliant colors, because the images that form in the dark can be scary when you can not see. In all this work I was near my grandmother Julia, strong reader and a great lover of all shades of fantastic, giving me good advice and cleaning out my manuscript to a million typos. Hoping that the novel would be to his liking, I greet you cordially.

Amanda

What you see above is the email I sent on August 26 last year to hold a major literary agency that also includes in its stable of well-known bestselling authors. Attached was my novel with the title changed. The e-mail on the manuscript was created for the occasion, the mobile phone number but it was mine.

After 22 hours I get this email from Mrs. Xyzxyz:


thanks Amanda,
the light '.
xyzxy xyzxyz

After another 10 hours (maybe the lady was concerned that I had not received the message) will get another:

Thanks to send, I read with pleasure. Where do you live?
Xyzxy

Sent from my iPad

answer:

many thanks to you for the availability
I live in london
good night amanda

Twelve days later, on September 7 last year I'm struggling mountain bike to the lighthouse on the summit of the island of Inish Morr off the Irish coast. I will ring the phone in the pocket of the backpack: presentiment. The number is unknown, this can become very strong. Carry forward the dialogue by heart:

"Hello?"
"Hello, I would like to speak with Amanda ..."
"Hello Amanda ... she is not here now, I'm the father. We are on holiday."
"When do I find it?"
"We are now in Ireland, but we go home tomorrow."
"My name Xyzxy Xyzxyz and literary agent. Amanda sent me a novel ..."
"Yes, yes, I know everything."
"Ah well! I and my colleagues are reading the novel and think that Amanda has very much talent. You can tell Amanda to call me as soon as possible?"
"Yes indeed."
"Where do you live?"
"Genoa."
"Thank you, goodbye."
"Goodbye, thank you."

At this point I confess that I am also a bit 'excited: I just got off the phone with the agent and Xyzxyzx Xyzxyz Xyzxyz Xyzxy Xy!

What to do now? I certainly can not carry on indefinitely the skit. Or does it? The aim of the experiment was to demonstrate the cynicism of the publishing world, but now that I'm sorry I touched a real chance to throw it down the drain. He even thought to put myself in company with a real blind girl with 50 and 50 which divide the proceeds of future best seller (it would also a good work). Then I also think that I have strung together a couple of crimes - nothing serious, stuff that surely ends with the prescription, but maybe it is better to give us a cut anyway. Also because so far I have not shown anything even if I sent the novel with my real name things would go the same way. I do not believe it, but it is perfectly sustainable.

write then two days later, on the morning of September 9. Leaving aside the pleasantries, the interesting part is the last bold.

Madam Xyzxyz,

since my intention was not to make fun of good people, after the phone call two days ago, I feel compelled to tell you that Amanda does not exist.

The novel that you have at hand was written by an engineer of some forty years' exasperated by publishers and literary agents who have never wanted to read a single line, and that in most cases have never even deign to answer the question "can I send?". A world that seems to only open to recommendations, and in the case of fantasy literature preferably minors.

With the name of Amanda so I sent my novel to a little 'of publishers and agents, as an experiment to see if a novel can be valuable in itself or if that counts for a publisher is only able to use the figure author for advertising purposes, and in this case let go of all the Italian publishing. But I do not want to run the risk of misleading people who do not deserve it at all with publishers who deserve it instead of some, so I apologize if I took advantage of his good faith. If the novel is more interesting if Amanda was not writing it, I hope you did not lose too much time on her and her co-workers, and that reading was not too unpleasant.

Sincerely, Alexander


At this point, as I have privately confided to some friends of snacks, I expect the very, very talented Amanda evaporate like dew in the sun. What that invariably happens six days after :

Dear Alessandro,

after the initial shock I realized and appreciated his reasoning.

Unfortunately I have to say that the book that starts in an excellent manner, while maintaining the excellent writing, I was disappointed. There are too many characters and the narrative line is blurred.


but I'd like to read something written by you which is not fantasy. She
-like Amanda - she has talent but the market today is difficult.

I am open to new ideas from her.

Regards,
Xyzxy Xyzxyz

The fault is not even the Lady Xyzxyz: the fact is that, for the same novel, the blind girl would go like hot cakes and publishers have made stabs to contendersela, while I certainly would have stayed on the rump.

remains the satisfaction of having heard that it was very very talented from a famous literary agent? Who knows. The famous literary agent is as good writers emeritus balls that would not be able to draw a glass or helping with, and have told everyone who had very very talented. Probably the latter than the former.


SPECIFICATION:

I have reported on Affaritaliani.it that came out a article on this post, and I thank the author Antonio Prudenzano for your attention. Article I really enjoyed it but it contains an inaccuracy in the anonymous blogger call me: in fact, even if my name is not written very clearly in the header of the blog, are not at all anonymous. In any case, my name is Alessandro Scalzo, I'm 40 years old, PhD in Robotics and I live in Genoa.

Butterflies Used On Martha Stewart Wedding Cake

slump certainties


Last night I was having dinner with a friend who is the publisher as a second job. Like all publishers receive tons of manuscripts that friend, and recounted seeing much worse than the legendary Ancess Keys of Fate . He also said that if there's in libreria delle porcherie spesso non è per mancanza di buona volontà da parte degli editor, ma proprio per mancanza di capacità degli stessi. Lui dice: "se ti sembrano brutti quando arrivano in libreria, non hai idea di come sono quando arrivano davanti all'editor." Ok, ma questo non è un discorso. È come dire: "è arrivato in ospedale che stava morendo di colera, di tifo e di peste e dopo una settimana di cure è morto, ma solo di colera." E poi, se sono così schifosi in partenza - ancora di più di quando vengono pubblicati - perché vengono pubblicati?

Ora, io non sono fra quelle anime belle che sostengono che in editoria lavorano solo grandi professionisti, così, perché sì. On the contrary, I have no reason to believe that the professionalism in that field is higher than the national average, which is very low for my taste. But to think that someone who works in Newton & Compton may have mistaken for something decent like a total disgrace The Prophecy Arsalon is really over, it's like a plumber who exchanges a broomstick for a tube of 3 / 4 or a doctor who exchanges a sinusitis cutting a wound to the foot.

I figured the editor Francesca Mancini opened the manuscript (as he arrived on his desk does not know and do not want to know, but I find it hard to imagine it: beginning with R). I saw her sigh and put her hands in her hair to first row, and then recover with the knowledge that so much shit in the round like that could not be anything good cavarci even working on it every day for ten years. I figured I've just placed punctuation (spaces after the commas that go and not before) and cazzatine like that, and then cut, cut the parts written especially beyond disgusting that so much to get their hands in vain and we delete earned only.

But no, according to my friend it is likely that Mrs. Francesca Mancini has worked on for us really hard, and that he has sent to press when he thought it would become a great novel, perhaps far from feeling good ' beginning.

Frankly, I do not know what to believe.

What do you think?

Painful Bowel Movements During Period

Practical manuals: the secrets of writing a dull


[...] When the publisher came to me asking to republish the book, I am careful not to lose his hands. The book is completely rewritten by myself, I have not edited in any way to listen to advice from readers and professionals more or less experts in the field, I have not worked for mica months full time, nor have I requested any help. This

above trying to make the sarcastic is - needless to say - the fantasy of an Italian author whose novel was first published by a very small and then by another much more important. So let's see the result of a gigantic work of rewriting so with the support of fine professionals. What follows is the beginning, as usual evaluated according to the dual track of fantasy and science fiction.

bone dice were thrown. Arthritic fingers of blind probing them one by one.

Fiction: passive forms should be avoided like the plague, because they embody the timidity of the writer. Nothing is just as incisive writing a sentence that uses the passive voice. Yes ok, somewhere can run, but this is the first sentence of the novel . This is beginning to undermine our that "In a very pale and hazy sky "which I have already spoken in Trilogy and other misfortunes.

Fantasy : writing in this despicable way the author of which I speak in the link he won the Italy for the 2007 Fantasy, why the big way!

"How did you say your name, son?"

Yes son, tell it to us, because when you said for the first time the novel had not yet begun.

" G ****.»
"What?" Have patience, my ears are so tired. "

Yeah, we fantasy readers: it is better to be safe.

'G ****.»
"So G ****, what do you see that?"

Fantasy: three times in four lines, great. Gentlemen, here we are facing is not usual artistucolo presumptuous, but a Grand Master Craftsman of the word is well aware of writing for the severely retarded and is not ashamed to take a narrative technique appropriate to the audience.

Fiction: the sixth row and we are already starting to get bored.

"I do not know ... My future. "
" Ah, your future, "he grinned M ****. "Tonight you will sleep here at the hostel. A restless sleep, I would say ... "
" This I could guess too. Not what I meant. "
" How? "
" I did not mean the future tonight. "
" Tomorrow morning you wake up with a full bladder. "
" You're taking the piss? "
" Not at all young man. I'm seeing your future. I see a latrine. "
" You're taking the piss. "
" You're wrong. "
" Am I wrong? You say I'm wrong ... And then ... If you now ... And if you now ... "[Great dialogue. You see, the work of true professionals?]
"And now what if?"
"And now if I were to make the bully? So I do not anything could happen, now that a sleep here safely. "
[And you a little 'how the fuck you think ...]
"A restless sleep," said the old woman. "But you do not have a point."
"Are you serious?"
"Listen, dear son, I'm blind and decrepit. I still have three teeth in his mouth. And they are also pretty dull. "
The young man shook his chair. Then he turned abruptly to B *****.
"And what do you want? It is a piece that you sit here and listened. Go to work, nosy, "
Caught in the act, the landlord went off in a hurry. Who would have thought that this young man was so insolent. It will be the fault of old, he told B *****. Basically it was taking the piss.

Fiction : fino all'oste il POV non si sa di chi sia, poi con un bel salto andiamo dentro alla sua testa a sentire i suoi pensieri. Segue qualche pagina dove l'oste rimprovera il cognato stereotipo dell'ubriacone. A quel punto sto già cantando l' Aria della Regina della Notte da Il Flauto Magico di Mozart a sbadigli .

Fantasy : un ottimo libro da leggere sotto l'ombrellone quando avrete finito l'elenco del telefono di Tokyo.

Alla prossima.

How To Get Sponsered By Volcam

... DO NOT use the POV and how to fuck dog


Ogni tanto mi chiedo in cosa caspita consista il mestiere dell'editor. Mah.

Riferendoci al post precedente, vediamo come si poteva POV manage the final stage to enhance the involvement of the reader. It was easy: Just leave the POV on Baron and move from there. The original song is this:

Baron threw himself on a servant with a shrill cry. There was a brief struggle, then a shot and a body fell to the ground.

A black figure, perched on a branch, watching the scene. V ********* shouted and shook the body of the Baron, to no avail. Already his blood smeared over the bridge and the rain washed it away.
"Our Lady, I did! Mr. Baron, "From the castle were
lanterns, lights, dark figures like insects that were busy on deck. The creature had a strange to like punishment, there was another flash in the woods, but the
black silhouette was gone.

Meanwhile, well, 'there was a brief struggle does not mean anything. There are only two: either you author pictures the scene, and then you've already made the effort even put in writing what you imagined, or can not imagine the scene, and then What the hell are you writing, something that does not even know you ?

Baron threw himself on a servant with a snarl. He grabbed his left the barrel of the rifle with his right hand and tried to grab her throat, but that he jumped back. The Baron felt in my ears the sound of a gunshot, a cloud of acrid smoke blinded him and then came the pain in your gut, like a hammer blow. He felt his strength fail him and he fell on his knees, then lying on his back while his head hit the boards hard in the deck. Something warm and slimy flowed under the hands, pressed on the abdomen.
Baron tried to scream, but only came out a gasp. V *********,'s face twisted and wet with rain, was bending over him.
"Our Lady, I did! Mr. Baron, "whimpered.
Baron felt the taste of blood in his mouth. Then he saw her behind the head of V *********. A black figure, perched on a branch, seemed to observe the scene. Baron closed his eyes and opened them. Dal castello venivano le lanterne, insetti luminosi che sciamavano sul ponte. Il Barone sentì un verso venire dall'alto sopra gli alberi, come un lamento. Un lampo, e la creatura nera non c'era più.
Un brivido di freddo, uno spasmo in tutto il corpo, e il Barone esalò il respiro.

Di certo si può fare di più, ma a me sembra che così sia già meglio. O no?

Table Seating Chart Template

Practical manuals: how to use the POV to fucking your dog


Come promesso, comincia oggi una serie di esempi su come NON si scrive narrativa e quindi per contrasto su come si scrive fantasy. Questa prima scheda riguarda il POV (Point Of View, punto di vista).

Il M********* arrivò nel Ducato A ******** an autumn night, the first to notice it was the Baron S **********.
Baron S ********** T ******* was a big man whose big chin whiskers topped by blacks gave him something of the walrus and something Orange. The noble dressed in black corduroy, a plumed hat, the belt a couple of rifles: more than a nobleman looked like a bandit, who meet at night in a farmer would have died of fright.
That night, as usual, went for wine cellars and taverns late and just now he came home on the back of Urri, his white horse.
It took a lot of courage to go around at that hour, in one night when it seemed that God had begun to cry for all the sins of the world. It was raining that heavy rain that turns the edges of things, the stems of old vines seemed to lean in the cold to count the bones of the feet.

The above is the beginning of the first chapter of a fantasy novel published by a leading Italian publisher. It is clear that the author has chosen as point of view (which was always aware of the concept) that of the Omniscient Narrator, because it is a bit 'difficult Baron thinks of himself as an orangutan. In the narrative of the Omniscient Narrator is a bad choice (that is to say that fantasy is good), so instead of dragging the reader into la storia l'effetto è che il Narratore va a trovare il Lettore al Cottolengo a casa sua. E' la scelta più facile per l'autore, che non deve sbattersi per accompagnare il Lettore alla scoperta delle informazioni utili. Nel caso del fantasy il Lettore non è in grado di trovare il proprio sfintere nemmeno con il manuale di istruzioni, per cui inserire più volte il POV del Narratore Onniscente per spiegare i passaggi salienti è di fatto una scelta obbligata.

L’effetto dell’alcol si era già dissolto nel gelo e il Barone malediceva il suo cattivo sangue, che lo aveva costretto a uscire per soddisfare il gusto del vino e della buona compagnia. Tutto ciò che desiderava adesso era entrare nel building, get rid of the coat wet and be served a roast mutton with a little 'of boiled beans. The lights of the castle had become close, and seized with a fit of impatience spurred his horse, Baron.

Here, above the POV is passed to the Baron. We remain firmly stuck for nearly six pages, until ...

Baron threw himself on a servant with a shrill cry. There was a brief struggle, then a shot and a body fell to the ground.

Suddenly the POV is no longer the Baron, because for him as he falls to the ground can not be simply a body, or is it him or is the servant, who, from his point of view is not quite the same thing. For the same reason, the POV is not that of a servant. Nor is the Omniscient Narrator, because he knows that everyone should also know who is falling to the ground. Suddenly the POV and then became that of a neutral camera also put a bit 'away in the dark, he sees and does not see much and there can not say. Then there is a blank line and bounces back with:

A black figure, perched on a branch, watching the scene.

Above the POV is it? Perhaps that is still neutral camera, because no one seems to notice the creature on the branch. The phrase would seem to herald the fact that the POV is switched to that of the creature itself, but then the following:

V ********* shouted and shook the body of the Baron, to no avail. Already his blood smeared over the bridge and the rain washed it away.
"Our Lady, I did! Mr. Baron, "

Above the POV seems the servant (or at least back the Narrator), because the creature can not know what it's called the servant (or even knows the camera neutral).

From the castle were the lanterns, lights, dark figures like insects that were busy on deck.

Above the POV could be anyone.

The creature had a strange verse, as a penalty, there was another flash in the woods, but the black shape was not more.

Here again it is not known. Not that the creature nor the other characters, because no one ever seems to have noticed his presence. The Omniscient Narrator does not see things disappear, so the camera should be back neutral.

At this point I think what it means to use the POV fucking dog can be clear to everyone, and I would say then that's all for today.

the next.

White Muscus On 60th Day

Fantasy Fiction


Shrimp if they had already noticed months ago: The fantasy novel does not belong to literature. He wrote about the silence of Lenth:

[...] I confess my inability fully understand this new form of entertainment vaguely similar to the narrative.

Every so often a writer asks me an opinion about his works, but I realize that my assessment tools are now no longer appropriate as they are linked to the old idea of \u200b\u200bfantasy as genre fiction, and not as a separate entity that has the everything from what we mean by writing. Do not be fooled by the fact that the fantasy is sold in bookstores just as the narrative, since it is sold in bookstores now a bit 'of everything from coffee mugs to the plush dolls. More curious is the fact that the fantasy continues to be produced by publishers of fiction, but then also the Yamaha factory both motociclette quanto tastiere musicali. Certo la somiglianza si ferma qui, perché mentre Yamaha produce buone motociclette e buoni strumenti musicali, accade invece che un editore come Newton & Compton pubblichi ottimi romanzi e ottimi saggi, ma schifezze fantasy ( schifezze fantasy quando il fantasy apparteneva ancora alla narrativa, ora solo fantasy ).

Una volta si diceva che per pubblicare è indispensabile essere raccomandati, ma c'è qualcosa che non mi torna. Statisticamente, tra i raccomandati ogni tanto dovrebbe capitare anche un autore decente, cosa che invece nel fantasy italiano non succede più. Forse allora essere raccomandati non basta, bisogna anche scrivere male, tant'è vero che autori che erano decenti sono peggiorati. Ogni tanto qualche autore protesta con me dicendo di non essere raccomandato e di essere stato pubblicato - dopo grande fatica - solo per i propri meriti. Vai a leggere, e scopri che i meriti consistono nell'aver scritto una rotonda porcheria. Forse non è più indispensabile essere raccomandati, ma in questo caso dovrete guadagnarvi la pubblicazione facendo davvero schifo.

Capire se il fantasy ha subìto questa evoluzione a causa del grave ritardo mentale del suo pubblico d'elezione o se sia piuttosto vero il reciproco è un po' come decidere se è nato prima l'uovo o la gallina, ma la cosa ci interessa solo fino a un certo punto. Ciò di cui è interessante prendere atto è il fatto che quelli che nella narrativa vengono considerati gravi errori, nel fantasy diventano invece indiscutibili elementi di pregio.

Vediamo quindi quali sono i punti fondamentali che distinguono queste due forme d' arte . Nei prossimi giorni poi, per ciascun punto, presenterò qualche esempio pratico con estratti presi da romanzi rilegati cartacei comparsi di recente sugli scaffali del reparto ritardo mentale fantasy delle nostre librerie.


Originalità

Narrativa : è in linea di massima ben vista, basta solo non esagerare.

Fantasy : anche qui è ben vista, ma il concetto di originalità enjoy the fantasy of the transitive property that if A = B and B = C then C = A. If, therefore, was the first original story that had as its protagonist a group formed by a young farmer, a magician, a dwarf, an elf and a warrior walk through half the world to go to break the butt to the Lord of Evil, then all same stories that are original, and if you do not understand a basic concept you are idiots.


nonsense density / cm ^ 2

Narrative: Write what you know or inquire.

Fantasy: "I chose to write a fantasy because it is easier" (F. Ghirardi) Here, this is the right spirit. I like swords and knights + I do not want to study the Middle Ages = fantasy. not even have to squeeze really fantastic and magic, a couple of dreary spells equivalent to the handset is more than enough. Also put various humanoid races to fuck a dog in total defiance of natural selection is more than sufficient to classify all as fantasy.


Know how to write (here the story is long and complex)

Fiction: thinking that all that matters is to invent a story SUPERSTRAMEGAUAU! is the branding of amateurs. The interest that may give a story so much in history as the same as being told. Not talking about literary fiction where the interest is all in the beautiful writing, but to find a narrative technique that allows the story of his chances. Otherwise, it's a bit 'as if the making of a film would stop the script.

Writing a novel can not be the record of a sequence of events written in Italian, more or less comprehensible: the plot has to be done through images, feelings and emotions. When the author writes, must be concerned first of what will be the effect on the reader of the words he is using, why not just continue the story. Questo è il motivo fondamentale per cui si insiste tanto su concetti come show don’t tell e point of view : non si tratta di adeguarsi a una moda, ma di fare in modo che il lettore si possa calare nella scena con i cinque sensi e partecipare agli eventi.

Fantasy : le cose vanno spiegate per bene con l'intervento diretto del Narratore e ripetute più volte tramite riassunti periodici. Far piangere un personaggio non basta per far capire che è triste, dovete prendervi le vostre responsabilità di voce fuori campo e mettere nero su bianco Lahin piangeva disperata perché il suo cuore era gonfio di disperazione e di tristezza fin quasi a scoppiare . Allo stesso modo, explained before or after each dialogue that an average delay could already tell from the dialogue itself. Remember that writing for the severely retarded, not the simple average delays.

The style of writing therefore has no importance, just more or less understand. However, it is very much appreciated the mock courtly (you get to always put the adjective before the name) along with all the other tacky.

The dialogues are to be sickly, full of infodump and marked the rally from the baseline (knock, answer, knock, answer, ...). It is good that the characters all speak in the same way elevated, the Adviser to the King swineherd alcoholic. Very important to abound with gerundi in coda ai dialoghi, che altrimenti rischierebbero di risultare un minimo incisivi con l'effetto di turbare la mente impressionabile del lettore.

Il POV non dovete nemmeno sapere cos'è, perché se mai il concetto dovesse inquinare il vostro bagaglio di incompetenze, come scrittori fantasy per voi sarebbe la fine. Il vero scrittore fantasy si riconosce soprattutto dall'uso del POV a cazzo di cane, che è molto difficile da simulare.

Direi che per oggi ce n'è abbastanza, ci rivediamo la prossima volta con qualche esempio. Non metterò titoli né nomi, perché ho sempre paura che poi qualche dannato coprofilo vada a comprarseli per non darla vinta a me.

I Have No Armpit Hair

Language in moistened (Milanese)


There is a certain stereotype of Milan able to boast of other things that normally they are ashamed. In particular, our aims to show how strong attitude to public relations what to others might seem like an indigestible mixture of intrusiveness and matchmaking (as we shall see, but instead he is right).

One of these copies I meet every year at Lucca Comics and during the edition of a couple of years ago boasted easily - and with me in front of others - to make the big lick with a piece of 'Dori . A big guy in every sense: a handsome bearded man with two eyes and a deep voice from Satan powerful. According to the subject, the result of meticulous matchmaking was that the big guy said, "you write something and I'll public."

Got it? "You write something and I'll public" so, sight unseen. It 'something that does not even say a Palahniuk (a crap can run out to anyone), let alone a rookie. But anyhow ...

It was not just to get rid the fuck did: he actually published.

Not long after the series ended.

This just to say that when I write things like editor of a shit about economics maybe someone thinks that I do not know what I mean.

Ohioi Drivers License

A bloodbath

The spread of the ebook will be a bloodbath for the Italian publishers.

is often said that publishers are commercial entities whose purpose is to produce profits, but this may be true to the limit in Japan, not in Italy. Imagine a company as a monolithic body with one collective brain all geared to maximize profit is in fact a great naivety, which does not take into account the fact that companies are abstract entities made of concrete people, and that in most cases we speak of people marked by unbridled individualism as much as you level up. The interests of those who work in a publishing house or any other company may in fact coincide with those of the same, but diverge at will to reverse course 180 degrees.

At the time the university was to keep us away a couple of lessons on a company's IT systems engineer who worked for years in the field and told us this:

Remember that, as good and competitive can be your product, though it may increase profitability and reduce costs of the company, no one will ever buy if you have the slightest inkling that can go any way to undermine his power. Because, as they say in Naples, control is better than fuck .

The question then this eBook has great sins against publishing: the publisher keeps the power to decide which authors such as pushing and pulling scuttle few or as many copies and distributed in a capillary or otherwise ridiculous. Knows something about a well-known Italian author of horror for kids not too bright, which is being undermined by his publisher with limited distribution (of course, I'm not sympathize: his publisher is doing just fine in part for the crime of having published the first time).

So: from the perspective of the publishing house can not blackmail the author is obviously a detriment because someone might then think of raise the ridge (instead today it punishes one to educate one hundred). Editor instead of a shit about economics, but loves to be surrounded by adoring and licking the issue does not change, because the power to decide who and who push the language to sink stimulates salivation.



And now a nice
Brain

The insight came to me arguing with Francesco Barbi: why the Italian authors merely incense between them and never, ever say bad work - as objectively repulsive - to a colleague?

Ok, there is the exchange of favors I speak well of you, you speak well of me , But that everyone knows and has little value. Instead, there is a reason more subtle and more important.

anyone have an idea?


SOLUTION


If a writer published by a major publishing house for the possibility of a major publishing house to publishing stuff unpublishable, automatically also casts a shadow on itself. At that point, the license of public authority by a major publishing house can also become waste paper, is no longer the certification of an objective value.

What they said to me when I arrived at the final prize in Urania?

A-ha, once you said that the previous winner, e-Doll, it sucked, so now you can not boast!

fact I looked good and boast. As I pointed out that I did not win: I came in the final, and I never said that the finalists last year sucked ... ^___^ But this is too subtle for some brains.

The case of GL, which speaks well of Troisi's perfect. Think about it: not only are published by the same publisher, but by the will of the same editor, Sandrone Dazieri. So it is logical that Dazieri have to be a public that only works of high literary value, because if it had instead said that a

Ucci Ucci, I smelled shit sell!

then the same thing could have happened with W, however mistakenly (that only sells). It goes without saying that if only public Dazieri High Quality, then Nihal and the rest should be.

Take the first shit


reading a bit 'of publishing interviews with young rising stars (such as Federico Ghirardi, Thomas Mazzantini) I got the idea that when a publisher decides to colonize a new genus (eg : Fantasy Moccikosy) the following criterion for the choice is to publish the manuscript of the first shit that comes under our noses.


On the blog of Mr Stockfish Shrimps wrote:

Io c’ero, so come è andata.

INT. GIORNO Uffici della Newton & Compton

Entra il direttore editoriale.

D: “A Cristià, ma che, me stai ancora a le straggi e a li servizzi deviati? Svejate bello! Queli de la Enaudi stanno a fa’ er botto co ‘a Strazzu, e noi ce stamo a fa’ magnà er manfano da le mosche! Quelli ce fanno ‘n bucio così!”

A: “Vabbe’, ma che dovrei fare?”

D: “Te devi d’aripijà! Trovame n’artro moccicoso che scrive robbe de draghi, prima de subbito!”

Esce sbattendo la porta.
A***** sospira, chiude il faldone con gli atti della commissione parlamentare d’inchiesta. Scende nel seminterrato e apre il bidone della carta da riciclare, tira fuori i manoscritti fantasy arrivati negli ultimi sei mesi. Scarta tutti quelli dove l’autore è nato prima del 1990, e dei rimanenti legge la prima pagina, seduto su una pila di libri alla luce della lampadina da 15 Watt. Fa una sosta all’una e un quarto per un tramezzino, poi si rimette al lavoro. Scarta tutti quelli che non sono scritti in italiano. Alle 16,23 ne è rimasto solo uno: Bryan di Boscoquieto.

Alle 16,24 è nell’ufficio del direttore editoriale e glielo molla sulla scrivania.

A: "Here it is a bomb."
D: (peering into the title), "Are you sure? Braian de Wirewood? "
A:" Absolutely. Never read anything like it. "
D:" Anyways, 'Daje: trust me. Tiramone 10,000 copies printed to see 'what happens. "

A ***** it back to the office with a sense of relief and goes back to do more serious things.


Some time after a mysterious Joan of Arc on the same blog he writes:

Guys, for those who want to know how it really happened, and that there are mechanisms for publication of basic rileggetevi's comment, "Mr. Stockfish.
sounds like a parody ... but it's exactly what happened.
Even I was there.

Mazzantini And then there's the author of the excellent (for starting the fire) Garmir eclissiomante for the types and Baldini Castoldi Dalai:

How did you meet as a publisher Baldini and Castoldi? It is certainly not bad for a rookie ...

I learned from a family friend that the publishers of Baldini Castoldi Dalai had a house in Elba, Marina di Campo. So I went there with my scooter and I brought them to read the manuscript. Fortunately, this was their son, who read for first novel and has advised parents to check it out. They did so and soon after I was contacted. In practice, I was lucky.


The Ghirardi, as he himself tells us, did not follow the conventional way of sending the manuscript and would address instead of the one person who would be his future editor at a book fair and trimmed the manuscript on the spot.


*****


So, dear friends writers seeking publication, here's a nice pentalogy:

1) sniff the air, follow the smell.

2) Once identified as a new fashion, be quick to jot down from 300 to 700 pages. Do not re-read, not once, so he will not even your editor.

3) Go find editors at home, playing on the intercom if necessary at 3 am (this is essential).

4) Four.

5) Be lucky.

Edu Science Telescope How To Use

The facade and the Small update


The reality around us is made up of two components, the front and one behind it. There is no mention of the Aristotelian concepts of substance and accident, which then give rise to consubstantiation of Protestant doctrine, but something much simpler: people who want to know that our money would be much less willing to give them to him if we know who is really, really what does and how it does.

An interesting example is the advertising of 8 x 1000 to the Catholic Church.



Think about it. Where are the cardinals, the Lancia Thesis, the Pope? To see these commercials do not seem to exist. Only country priest, pastor of the slums, sisters serving soup to the soup kitchen and missionaries in Africa. In essence, it shows only the respectable facade. What's more, those who commission advertising are well aware of not being present in their real substance.

Because we are interested in the discourse on the facade? Why just remove it and immediately snaps irresitibile the effect of the comic.

Look (click on video once it has started to see them on the YouTube site, otherwise here it is cut a slice):



This video seems an exaggeration and it is in sense that the priests who rape kids are certainly a minority. It is no exaggeration to say that instead of a priest who rapes little boys that probably has as its main interest, because frankly you do not understand what Jesus would cheat him and it is plausible to think that not even believe it. The priest interviewed by the actor in the video is funny because viene privato della facciata.

Una serie televisiva che merita è Boris, di cui si può vedere qualche spezzone di seguito. Anche qui l'effetto comico è dato quasi sempre dal fatto che vediamo un ambiente dall'interno senza la facciata. Si parla di produzioni televisive, ma se parliamo di editoria non c'è nessuna differenza. Ho scelto queste scene perché danno bene l'idea di quale è il vero atteggiamento di chi vive un ambiente dall'interno, anche se si farebbe spellare vivo e cospargere di sale piuttosto che ammetterlo di fronte a un non addetto ai lavori.

Buona visione.











And to round off ...

Wart In Mouth On Bottom Lip




If you ask those who work in publishing will tell you that the recommendations - for charity - do exist, but are a phenomenon marginal. The idea that publishing may be the only solid reality merit in Italy, an oasis in the desert of the recommendations not already see the sign lit bright "asshole" ?

Following the link you will find the blog of an undercover editor that explains how the publishing industry is no different from other political and economic reality in our country: shit.



not recommended for the illusion that they want to live in a dream world.

Scorpion 200cc Mini Chopper

The real power (1)

When you leave the sphere of staff - that ends an inch further than their noses - the religion ceases to be a spiritual to become mere management of power: the power of a few on the minds of many . Suffice it to say that Catholicism as we know it today was created by Emperor Constantine, pay, to which religion and spirituality matter less than zero. Constantine the index Council of Nicaea (325 AD), the first ecumenical council of the Christian world, with the sole aim to transform the many currents of Christianity in the religion of the Roman Empire and it was a solid basis for his throne. Constantine succeeds in its intention: to be soon in fact, Christians who live in the shadow of the Empire will become in the blink of an eye from persecuted persecutors of other religions in a perfect symbiosis with the imperial power.
Even the dogma of the Trinity is an invention that in God and in Jesus not believe it: he always, Constantine, who during the Council is in the position of having to agree currents that come after they saw the Son Father and those who saw them as the same person. Constantine, who has to pull in the most current possible in the new state religion, then you invent the consubstantiality , a word that tells us little or nothing in this context, a mere political contrivance that has come to this day as the Mystery of Faith. And before
Council of Nicea? Today we live with the cognitive illusion to think that the Church has been corrupted over the centuries, just as we believe that the world today is more violent than before. But when we go in history books to look for a less violent period of our history we realize that in reality does not exist. Similarly, the Church over the centuries has always been worse than the current .

The figure of Christ is so little historical that about Christians begin to fight and curse each other since the day after his death fictitious. A century later there is already talk of heresy (ie: each gives to all of the heretic others). If there was already a century after all and the other way around, one wonders what it might be sensible in what has come to today. Particularly as the Council of Nicea, the one that came two centuries later to put things right (so to speak), has no interest in religion, but as the building of a power structure.

In the next episode, as it retains the power and conquest.
