Cramps And Pink Tinged Cervical Mucus

Black and White SILVIA G.

Only if I have time and I collect things I want to get on the blog. Anyway, here I am again with another interview.

This time I want to bring to an author just starting on this in the letters and so far, addressing the small house. I speak to Silvia G. Guirado, who one day received an unusual proposal for a friend, write a story book inspired by a collection of shirts. And he did.

My first time with her was with the storybook COLORS LOST AND OTHER STORIES ILLUSTRATED , a gem of a book he has outlined in his day. Then and more recently, came the beautiful story THE GUARDIAN OF THE IMAGINATION , which is only in pdf and you have the link on the entry.

I leave you with questions and I hope you enjoy them ...

1 .- What made you become a writer?

writer The word I keep looking great for me, but if you're doing this interview I guess I should start to consider it, but deep down I'm a newcomer. The truth is that since childhood I have always liked to recreate and invent stories, I guess motivated by an only child and having to entertain myself with my own imagination. Today, writing is a way to communicate with others and show what I think and feel, to think about myself, overcoming my own shyness. Not long ago I read that everyone has some gift or talent and that our responsibility to ourselves and others, is working on it. So I guess that is a mixture of wanting to meet, express themselves and also bring something else, whether entertainment, emotion or make them think.

2 .- What genre you prefer to read?

Basically, fiction and within this I opted for youth literature, genre seldom considered, but I think hiding works great, and the novel of any kind, I have no hobbies.

3 .- Do you think it promotes good literature in Spain?

I think as with other things, promotes well who is already a famous writer and a certain reputation. The big publishers do not usually take risks and support those writers, to which they devote themselves good communication and advocacy campaigns. Now I have to take risks with lesser-known authors, novice. Yes is a risk, but I think those big publishers should be obliged to do so.

4 .- A book you liked.

one Difficult choice! But I will say one that I read a year ago and loved it: Truce of Mario Benedetti. Strongly recommended.

5 .- A book that he choked and could not finish.

I have an anecdote about it. The first book that I choked and had to leave was The Unbearable Lightness of Being Kundera . But a year later I went back, ate it and became one of the greatest to me. In that year I had changed and could have another view of that history. I think there are books that should be read in its just and right now. Neither before nor after.

6 .- What book are you reading now?

Amantea David Cantero. Even I can not comment on it, I just started.

7 .- Do you think that in Spain there is little literary culture?

I read that in Spain, may significantly less than in other countries, that is undeniable, but I am amazed every day when I take the subway and I see a vast majority of people with a book in her hands . You can read everything that can not be considered high culture, but I think those labels should disappear. The important thing is to read and will always be people who will value the classics and the great authors and others will prefer selling But what's wrong with that? I think that we should not be elitist, there will be for all tastes and the complex variety We have to move. I also think that some of the younger generations also take an interest in literature and that's quite an accomplishment considering all the inputs that surround them in their daily lives. Until recently I thought that the literature did not care that they required too much effort, but after publishing the first book I've found a lot of young people who have their blogs and review literature where long hours devoted to literature. And frankly surprised me a lot.

8 .- Electronic book or paper?

For me the paper book is something irreplaceable but I think the e-book will also have their space and in the future I think will be complementary. The paper has something magical, but we also think that the ebook has many advantages and possibilities. For me the important thing is that the letters continue to have their space whether in print or on screen.

9 .- Can you recommend any writer or book?

I will recommend three authors totally different, but I think each one of them can provide good and emotional stories, emotions and thoughts: Michael Ende, Kundera and Benedetti, his novels and poetry.

10 .- Let me ask you a question to me:

What led you to create a blog for literature?
----------------- Well this question and answered it in another interview, but it comes in handy to make a (rude) copy & paste ( for the hours they are ...). One day I felt the need of disentangling the tangle that was forming in my head and reciting was born. At the end of this blog had a list with the title of the books I was reading and the name of the author, was fantastic with the sole purpose of one who by chance had just spouting entering seen or felt attracted, perhaps, "for a title and was encouraged to read. Namely, I settle for that at least one person saw a title that will draw the attention and thought if you read it. But there came a time when this list was huge and also received comments about the books, so I decided to create a separate blog for books that I read. At first I did review, only I used to put just a couple of sentences in each book, but the traffic of commentators and the result of the comments made me change my mind and decided to expand the content a bit. With splendid results I think certainly it has given me the opportunity to talk with writers and people from many places and, occasionally, even to meet some of them.

So much for the Black and White SILVIA G. GUIRADO. I do not know if you've read any of his stories but I will recommend it. And, as always, I hope you've got to know a little more to one of our authors.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS SILVIA G. GUIRADO, for your kindness and dedication to this blog and its owner.
