I was undecided on the title of this post, which takes up the game-non-game launched by Tenar a few days ago. In his post " What we are not, what we don't want " he asked us what writers we don't want to be , what we don't want to write. He's right: sometimes understanding what we are not and above all what we don't want to become helps us better understand our nature and define our path, artistic in this case. I didn't want to use the word "writer" in the title for two reasons. It is a word that continues to seem enormous to me, as if it indicated an elite or in any case an unattainable goal. I prefer the more generic term “author”, because I think it fits me better. My first published book is an essay on blogging, after all, when I actually thought it would be a novel.
I write short stories, I plan novels. I write articles for my blog and also for some clients. I'm back to working on my own comic strip which I hope will soon see the light online. I can't call myself a writer. He is more correct author . The author I don't want to be It's not easy to think about the negative, which is strange for such a negative person like me. But the Special Data game is getting interesting and I'm enjoying it, so I'm racking my brain to understand and discover what kind of author I really want to be . I don't want to be an author trapped in a genre But I want to write what I want, what pops into my head, the story I'm fond of. Whether it's a fantasy, a mystery, an essay, a western, a science fiction novel, a technical manual, a comic strip, a thriller: I write what at that moment wants to come out of my head. I don't want to be tied to traditional publishing or self-publishing But be free to publish as I want.
There are books that I would like to propose to publishers and others that I want to self-publish. I've always said it: I don't hate either publishing, I'm interested in both. I don't want to give in to publication... … if the publisher imposes corrections on my text that I don't agree with. I will never publish a book full of "come on", "gods", "now" and obscenities of that kind. Rather, I tear up the contract and self-publish the book without unnecessary accents. I don't like publishing at all costs. And today the publishing house is no longer the only way to publish. I don't want to give in to future readers... …and write a sequel if my story doesn't have one. Today there is too much immaturity, especially among readers. Be content reading a novel for what it is. I don't want to write to make money That's not my goal with writing
