It was a nice moment of reflection, because our personality comes out from what we love and hate to write, we discover sides of ourselves that perhaps we didn't know or wanted to keep hidden. What does the present represent? And why do I find it so boring? The feeling of being out of place, in the wrong era, has "haunted" me since I was little. As a child I loved playing with toy soldiers, especially cowboys – I have always been in love with the Wild West. When the family went on a trip somewhere, the ruins were all mine: I had to explore every corner. Pirates, treasure maps, ancient mysteries, legends and fantastic creatures have always exercised a powerful fascination in me, populating my mind with an infinite number of stories. At school I always had my "head in the clouds", as the teachers told my mother, but they didn't know where I really was.
I was there where I couldn't be. So it was natural that, approaching writing, I would have preferred to talk about everything that piqued my curiosity. But today we have to talk about the present: what is there in my era that doesn't stimulate my imagination? Good question. The events of modernity Analyzing our time helps us understand what we can find Special Data interesting enough to be able to write a story, even a novel, about it. What events occurred in my time – and in yours too, at least in part – that were so intriguing that I wanted to tell them in a story? The Apollo 11 moon landing The Years of Lead Homegrown terrorism The Vietnam War The hole in the ozone layer The birth of the web Wars and guerrillas everywhere Cow madness Local earthquakes International terrorism Various economic crises Political rubbish Well, all this doesn't interest me, perhaps precisely because, having experienced it - even if in many ways as a spectator - I've had enough of it, it bores me.
Added to this is the unnerving rhetoric of our country, the endless chatter and the continuous exploitation of many events by the various political groups. Simply put: I can't take it anymore. The present tastes like it has already been seen Yes, it really seems like a contradiction. However, if you think about it, living in the present means being in contact with a certain reality every day , with characters, situations, environments and scenes that we see all the time. When I write, I need something else, to distract myself. Same thing when I read. This is why in my readings there are hardly any so-called mainstream novels , that is, non-genre novels. Obviously it's a subjective question. Some people wallow in modernity, in contemporaneity. Some people love to write stories about young people's relationship with Facebook, for example, or they love to tell stories of illnesses, tragedies, family crises. No, thanks, I'm already someone who gets depressed even for no reason, I certainly don't need an extra.
