When finishing a book is not as easy as starting it We've all been there. Everyone has happened to put their manuscript in a drawer. We don't place it there to let it mature. It's not even to wait for feedback from an editor. It's to forget it. We want to forget it because we can't finish it. This is a fact, those of you who do not find confirmation in these words I can easily stop reading now. For everyone else, however, there is a question to be answered: why? How we start is not how we finish “I'm me, dammit!” This is the drive with which we begin writing each manuscript. It's called: ego. The ego is that fire in the chest, at the level of the heart, that whispers sweet words in our ears. I don't know what he says to yours, to mine he says: “ This is a damn brilliant idea! Only you can write it right.
Are there others who can write as well as you? ”. Ok, I admit it, I have a huge ego. At the end of the post I distribute free pieces to anyone who thinks they need them. But if you're an aspiring hack like I am, well, then don't lie: you have a huge ego too. Is it bad? Although the motivations for starting are not always the correct ones, or the most honest, the good thing is that they give a great push. I burn the first thirty pages. In the sense that I write them fast enough to see the flames rise. Then the fire turns into embers and Phone Number Datathe embers, sooner or later, go out. The secret of a good barbecue The secret of a good barbecue is not the initial blaze, the one you need to light the fire, but the embers. The embers must be hot, but not excessively.
Above all, it must last a long time. The longer the coals last, the more meat you can cook. It's a fact. How do you keep it warm and constant for a long time? If I knew, would I have written this post? No. I would be writing my eighth book instead. Eighth, yes. Because there are so many manuscripts that I have started and never finished. They all ended up in that drawer and it's starting to get crowded. Above all, I'm starting to get fed up. I met a man one day. He works at Ferrari and writes like God. He's a certain age now, but in his time he tried too. He also won a competition, one of the important ones, sponsored by Stefano Benni. I have read some stories by him. They leave you speechless. Despite this, you won't find it in the bookstore. Why? Because no novel begins and ends.
