How to choose names for your characters.

This is one of those not important things in writing a novel that you waste the most time doing.

Deciding what names to give to your character is a process that you need to consider.

There are a lot of factors that you need to think about when deciding what names to give to your characters, is it a fantasy novel? A sci-fi novel? Contemporary?

If it's fantasy and you have actually invented the hole world then you should be able to invent also names, like just get some sounds and see if they sound good, or get some existing names that are not common, are you writing a novel that's mostly for English speaking people? Then go get some Arabic names, in general names that are not that known.

Are you writing a contemporary?

Get names that you like, imagine your character and think about the name that you think would be suitable for him or her.

Use whatever name you like, or invent names that sound good, you can actually get even objects names and use them for the character.

Use your creativity!

Keep writing.

Why you should read classic books and some suggestions.

Classic books are one of the most difficult category of books that you can read. They are called ''havy'' in the italian language because sometimes they have some difficulto words or too old expression that you have to search because the most of the time you don't know the meaning. They are hard and sometime quite boring but they need to be like this. If you consider two books, a contemporary books, let's take for example Jamie McGuire's ''Beautiful disaster'' and George Orwell's 1984, we have a kind of love story in both of the books, however, the concept that Jamie tells in her beautiful thing are totally wrong, they teach to young girls that your boyfriend should be aggressive, way too jalous als if the main characters of the story are not even in a relationship, I hope that who read that book could relate to me, so it is full of wrong concepts that teach just wrong things. We have 1984 that is a classic, there is some sort ...

La pioggia nel pineto, D'annunzio, La domenica del Classico.

Oggi, un po' per la domenica del classico un po' perché sono ispirata volevo proporvi la mia poesia preferita. Come potrete vedere dal blog io leggo solo testi in prosa, non sono una grande fan della retorica, ma la pioggia nel pineto è qualcosa di bellissimo, è la poesia migliore che io abbia mai letto. Tutto di questa lirica è perfetto, i suoni, le parole usate, TUTTO ragazzi, tutto. Quindi oggi vi propongo il testo integrale per chiunque non abbia mai letto tale meraviglia e proverò a spiegarvi un po' di cosa si parla. Taci. Su le soglie del bosco non odo parole che dici umane; ma odo parole più nuove che parlano gocciole e foglie lontane. Ascolta. Piove dalle nuvole sparse. Piove su le tamerici salmastre ed arse, piove su i pini scagliosi ed irti, piove su i mirti divini, su le ginestre fulgenti di fiori accolti, su i ginepri folti di coccole aulenti, piove su i nostri volti silv...
