Is writing? ...

In my walks through various literary websites and blogs dedicated to this need, I witnessed the love of many people of all ages to write, many of those traveling by land from what is known as creative writing in the form of stories or short stories mainly. Most do it as a recreational activity, without any pretense alien to it. Sometimes I have witnessed situations in which the older or gifted in these conflicts advise beginners with recommendations of good will, almost always at the request of the latter. Her own experience in any activity in life can not be transmitted to another person by magic, even in the literary, but it's good, it is advisable to know what they think the writers have come a long way, although 'one only path ... '

However, there are many tips and recommendations that the authors have been devoted to new writers, which nearly always part of the art or craft of writing, which is acquired slowly.

This type of guidelines to take into account depends largely on the genre that is practiced: short story, story, article, etc.

has always interested me this facet of the writers and I like to share with potential readers. Consider some cases:

Gianni Rodari, in his Grammar of Fantasy (Introduction to the art of making up stories), gives a range of methods and systems for the development of imagination and creativity, such as the binomial fantastic, consisting of develop a list of words that have no relationship to each other, take two and start writing a story with them. ***


There are excellent examples
of this method. One is the words 'bear' and 'pipes', used by Julio Cortázar in his speech story of the bear, which begins:

"I bear the plumbing of the house, I go through the pipes in the quiet hours , hot water pipes, heating, fresh air, going down the tubes from department to department and I am the bear who goes down the drain ... " ***



Another García Márquez formed it with the words 'ice' and 'execution', which on occasion has confessed when questioned that he had for twenty years in mind. As you know, hundred years loneliness, begins: "Many years later, he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendia was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice." ***



But the one I was always struck, full of imagination, the pair has been HAND RED and without any apparent relation to one another, words that are served Bernardo Atxaga (Joseba Irazu pseudonym ), a famous Basque narrator, explaining how to act 'To write a story in five minutes, "chapter in his storybook Obabakoak, which begins the narration of the story set in the following Surprisingly, 'Yes, I covered my face with this vast network the day they burned my hands..' Top extremely attractive, they catch. ***



Edgar Allan Poe, in his method of composition, which explains the genesis of the construction of his story The Raven tells us, among other things, that any plan that you prepare to tell a story must have been drawn 'with a view to the outcome. " Recommended 'to keep in mind the effect you want to make, never losing sight of the original. " ***



Horacio Quiroga, Uruguayan short story writer, who lived a long time in Argentina, which figure is gathering momentum with the passage of time, we discussed in our article Literature and suicide, in his Manual of perfect storyteller, she stresses that 'to begin a story is needed, in ninety-nine percent of the cases, knowing where it's going. " He adds as advice: 'Believe in a teacher. As you can resist imitation. No adjectives unnecessarily. Do not abuse the reader. Do not write under the sway of emotion or think of your friends to write, or the impression of your story. '. ***



Borges and Bioy Casares, give us advice very much in line of excellent short stories in Argentina, well-earned reputation. And so urge us to, among others, the following issues: 'The metaphors in general and in particular, visual and more of the farm, the bank, the naval. Anything that might suggest the idea of \u200b\u200bbeing turned into a movie. Avoid vanity, modesty, pedophilia, the absence of pedophilia, suicide. " These tips, as shown, are written with a real sense of humor. Borges and Casares follow: 'Avoid the use of quirky games with time and space, as do Faulkner, Borges and Bioy Casares.'. Remember in this respect Borges's use of these elements in El Aleph. ***



is, to be inferred, in short, that the best rule to follow is not to follow or no follow only their own. There are, however, a rule very effective to learn to write better, read a lot. All great writers have been, rather than writers, great readers or par. ***



Vargas Llosa in Letters to a young novelist, said: 'All the great writers were at the beginning scribes apprentices. The chemically pure invention does not exist in the literary. Every novel (narrative) is a lie that masquerades as truth and we must use persuasion and the techniques of illusion and sleight of hand. And ... and .... " ***



councils could continue with Pio Baroja, Chekhov, Hemingway, Katherine Mansfield, Sherwood Anderson, Virginia Woolf, etc., But would never end ...

Culture, dedication and commitment

By Victor Montoya

.
If we consider that there is a interrelationship between culture and society, then it is logical that cultural manifestations within the reach of the majority, otherwise, if government institutions do not fulfill their duty to subsidize culture, there is a risk that it is marketed and turn the privilege of minorities. But as "cultural workers" do not want that art is a privilege reserved for few, are clamoring for their rights and demand that everyone has access to works of art, just as they have the right to education, health, work, film, theater and others.

However, skeptics raise their voices and say that state institutions have no reason to subsidize the arts. Some even have the audacity to consider the "cultural workers" as a small group of dreamers without cause, regardless of the artist, with projects and concrete works, brings its bit to the great pyramid cultural, trying to keep alive the history, language and customs of the community, especially if we start from the view that culture, which is part of literature and journalism, is responsible for reflecting the image of society which we live.

The architects of the word, they have imagined and calculated the arc of the increasingly critical bridges between the intellectual product and the recipient are willing to build those bridges in reality, to make literature reaches beyond where it should be, and not become a privilege reserved for minorities, as almost all the "cultural workers", even without being able to live comfortably for the remuneration of art are willing to put their works at the service of the majority. Social commitment



committed writers and create intimate works, linked to the emotions of the soul and the experiences of everyday life, do not stop denouncing the injustices and abuses of human rights. If they do in poetry, trading his poems into shouts of protest and complaint, made manifest in the form of letters or exclamation. His pen, like his genius, becomes a powerful weapon against power systems, protected by the law of impunity, trample the rights of the dispossessed. It is no coincidence that in times of repression and censorship, there are several writers who created a literature of social protest, unvarnished reflecting the real situation of the underclass, and the lack of solidarity and insensitivity of the dominant classes.

is not surprising that in countries ravaged by civil or military dictatorships have created groups of writers that advocates taking responsibility for collective memory, refused to de facto regimes and staunchly defended the democratic system of consensus as the most feasible way for economic development, public safety and the free exercise of freedom of expression and artistic creation.

In South America, to cite one case, the writers involved were faced with pen and speech against dictatorships that transformed their countries in concentration camps, where it was not easy to distinguish the cries of torture and public speaking. Thus, despite the panic and terror of the repressive forces, persecuted and imprisoned writers did not fail to witness to the events of his time, aware that banned and censored literature is also a sort of hidden strength that even being in the catacombs is like the seed that one day emerge at the surface to give flowers and fruits.

While the social literature can not transform itself a political system through the reporting of the specific situation of the oppressed, it is also true that literature written in clear and plain language, it helps acquire political commitment and tries to get ordinary people to be aware of oppression, an attempt is not always rescued by those accustomed to focus more on the way that the content of the work. Commercialism and alienation



We live in a time when fashion in aesthetic or lifestyle, is becoming all the more surprising because the culture of evasion of reality through science fiction known as the "virtual reality" makes young people think more about clothes mark in the art and that girls spend more money on magic pills to lose weight in books. In such conditions, it seems that the great ideals of humanity, such as freedom, social justice and democracy have suffered a temporary defeat to the tyranny of market tax by the current system, its economic policies, senseless and ruthless, has condemned to despair and misery to millions of human beings in the world.

A massive alienation propaganda unleashed by the powers of domination, joined the criticism of those who detract from all the full value of the works of so-called "social realism" whose main function, besides reflecting the concrete reality of the dispossessed, to denounce the injustice prevailing in the capitalist world today. Fortunately, ethical and aesthetic values \u200b\u200bof the vast majority do not always coincide with the subjective view of "critical." The proof is that when asked the general reader who was the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1965, does not know what to answer, because he does not remember the name of Nobel Prize winner or, quite simply, because he was not interested because the literary tastes are not the same for everyone. But when the same reader told of literature is very likely to mention the works of the authors of their choice, those who, behind the advertising and publishing companies, were never awarded or mentioned by literary scholars . Which is to say that not always 'good literature' is good for all, on the contrary, there are works and authors who have the pleasure of the readers, as in literature and in art in general, no one has written for taste. Learning



vocation is no stranger to most of the initiated in the art of the written word express their ideas in the shadow of other writers whose texts are full of quotations and bibliographic data, with which they are able to create a climate of heated debate, most still have on their knowledge and the virtue of knowing defend their ideas and works against all odds. I refer to those writers stem not only differ from the authors given the public spectacle and confraternities games, but also those who, accustomed to celebrate his temporary victories between drums and rattles, write more for taking a "pose intellectual , that real conviction and vocation.

In literature, as in other cultural events, there are individuals worthy of admiration and respect, first, because they know works with the capacity to structure their master, and, second, because they learned to live passionately delivered his art, but why lose their human sensitivity and social commitment. Moreover, literary activity is a long learning process, like any other profession, requires dedication, discipline and professionalism, at least if one hopes to create a work that ever puzzled let the "critics" and pleased readers.
