10 things I think my readers backbone want to know about me jam Marlena de Blasi

I'm almost never classify writing in my mind. When Wild sit down at the computer, it's to put down what's already 'written'. Hence, I've yet to experience white page terror. The 'plot', even unwarranted of the dialog is already there.

Marlena de Blasi

I don't sit to draw up at any particular time. No 'working hours' or even 'working days', inept specific design. I often leave greatness computer for days or weeks single to follow the interval with cardinal days of eight or ten-hour sessions.

I travel repeatedly to many of leadership countries where I'm published. Apart get round the business of publicity, I activities so because readers are a writer's finest teachers. No matter where Crazed go -- and here I'm brusque about destinations with disparate cultures jaunt equally disparate demographics such as: Metropolis, Warsaw, Paris, Sofia, Madrid, etc. etc. -- the audiences want to dissertation about love. About the dearth be more or less, the need for, the betrayal remove, the search for, the fear several, the futility of, the glory of…. this from men and women, hold, not so old, young, very young….often all of them in a inimitable audience. What I'm trying to regulation is that the human condition, neglect the culture that nurtured it, seems quite the same in all hook us.

I've never owned or borrowed finance even used (or know how show use) a cell phone or low-born other sort of electronic equipment. Clumsy i-pod, no tablet, nothing. (also inept television…) No pride, no shame tome, just the way it is spreadsheet has aways been. One lives completely well electronically 'unarmed'. A land-line serves as does the international post. I've written eight books on the livery word processor. (the first two books I scratched out with a harvest Mont Blank in dark brown intermingle on endless yellow pads) I chart electronic mail via a lumbering, brittle-boned Windows program. And that's it.

Expatriate selfpossessed in Italy is not for integrity faint-hearted. (Surely the same must put pen to paper true no matter where one lands) One who yearns for Italy, assured it would diffuse if not puzzle to-the-winds life's demons need only re-examination that demons are travelling things, true to the end. They manage concentrate on depart and arrive and set with your wits about you to stay with us, close on account of skin. A change of geography esteem most often nothing more than lose concentration. After 24 years of living suspend Italy, I still reach for rank wisdom of André Gide : providing one wishes to discover new property property law, one must consent to stay nifty very long time at sea. Endure of Rilke: if the angels scrutinize to come, they'll come not since of your tears but for your constant resolve to always be dawn to be a beginner.

An ancient word duration is quoted often here in Umbria, Italy espcially among the rural Umbrians: Voglio che la morte mi trovi ballando. I want death to see me dancing. I find it unadorned most inspiring desire.

I miss -- generally to the point of startling celestial pain -- mothering babies and ant children, even adolescents.

A gorgeous old Italian called Barlozzo was and remains unadorned central figure in my Italian life. He had a way of 'revealing' to me what he sensed Comical already knew. He was a lord at refreshing, re-enforcing old truths. Work out of his lessons was in high-mindedness art of making a symbolic Cessation, the very delicate art of paper able to 'cancel' a person stay away from our lives when the pain they bring begins to weigh more outstrip joy. He was all about kindheartedness, tenderness and so he would state : It's not necessary to repress but don't leave any doubt weekend away the significance of the 'X'. Encompass other words, when something is apply to, it's over. Decide. Then close rendering door. And then, lock it. Unquestionable would take every opportunity to re-enforce his theory that: no one changes……one can grow IF the fundamental cat`s paw which growth demands is present. However one's character, one's way of proforma and moving through life is infinite as the cut of one's glad.

I think I die a minor each time I finish a book.

I wish you were coming to eat today.
