An interview with ex-GD, writer, editor, fascinating person: `GeneratingHype. Here are some tidbits from the interview (which I recommend reading in full):

"Letters presuppose a sort of authenticity, and I truly believe that a story—no matter the form—needs to be authentic and believable.

"Sometimes I wish I had stories such as "I wrote my first published poem at three and a half!" or "I started writing stories at two!", but writing never came easy for me and is still not very easy for me.

The Use of Adverbs in Fiction Writing

=DarcKnyt:iconDarcKnyt: reports, August 29

They're also indicative of weak writing ... but why? This article covers why adverbs are evil and what you can do to avoid using them.

International day of the Book

~Symphonical:iconSymphonical: reports, April 22
Hello.
For the world of Literature, Today (or tommorrow maybe, according to your geographic ubication), in other words, 23th April is a very important day.
This day is celebrated as the day of the Book since 1995 organized by UNESCO.
¿Why?
This day commemorates the death of the Spanish writer, Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, author of the famous best seller: Don Quixote.

The main reason of celebrating this day is promote reading. We are (well, we believe...) the only living being able to read or write. Seize it!

(Oh, forgive my English, please, I hope you understand what I wanted to say).

__________________

Día 23 de Abril. Día Internacional del Libro.
Especialmente, los hispanohablantes conmemoramos la muerte de dos de nuestras figuras literarias (al menos): Garcilaso de la Vega (autor de Égloga I, entre otras) y Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (autor de Don Quijote de la Mancha).
¿Qué es lo importante además de saber la efemérides de este día?
Más que recordar las fechas. Es valorar la belleza de tu lenguaje natal, el gusto por la lectura como un motor genial del pensamiento (creativo, abstracto, lógico), como modo de crítica, como arte por el afán del arte y como forma de asir la realidad.
No olvides nunca leer.

En especial si eres hispanoparlante y dispones de la misma lengua de autores como:

Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortázar, Nicanor Parra, Gabriel García Márquez, Mario Vargas Llosa, José Ortega y Gasset, etc...

Lee y promueve lectura.
¡Feliz día!
