My journey into publishing my poetry book

I was sitting down one day after I failed my medical school admission test thinking at what I could have done better to pass it.

I live in Italy as a lot of you may know, and there is a huge national admission test to pass and get into medical school, just 1 person out of 10 gets in, 68.000 people trying for 12.000 spots.

I knew I didn't work hard enough.

I was motivated but something was missing.

So many people will tell you that you won't make it, and their opinion is one of the reasons why you actually won't, you care too much of that.

I recalled myself, and I said:

"This year I will study harder than I ever did, I will work harder than ever, and I will make it! And if I won't at least I won't be regretting for the rest of my life that I didn't work harder, knowing that I could."

I started writing many of my thoughts during the beginning of this journey, so this book was born.

I think I had a great idea, all of us have so many other quotes that motivates us and make us think that we can make it, and in a world of negativity I thought that someone could get inspired by my experiences.

"Hold on" was born.

This is a collection of poems, but not really poems, it's a collection of thoughts, experiences and images to help you stay focused on your goals and why you shouldn't be giving up.

The ebook version is 0.99$, I tried making it as affordable as I could, because the lack of motivation is one of the worse things that could happen to you while you have a goal.

In this book you will also find a lot of space to make it as your diary to write your own quotes, plans and thoughts.

The paperback is pretty short and small so you can bring it around with you and whenever you feel like giving up, you open it and see your thoughts and mine, and stop thinking that you can't do it.

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...

How to write and publish a book.

Readers always come at the end asking to themselves if they would ever be able to write and publish a book. Well, it is possible to write a book, and I can give you some suggestions right now. First of all you have to study the market a little bit, if you want to write a romance but everyone is crazy for horror at the moment, probably it's not the best time for it and your work need to wait or it won't be as succesful as you will want it to be. If the ''style'' that you are writing at the moment is successful then make sure that the story is original and it is not a copy of a copy. Do not make grammar mistakes. Avoid them, make sure that someone else reads the book for you and valutates it, if you want I can do it for you, check the services page to know how to contact me, someone should tell you if your book is good or it have no chanches. Edit your book, I know averyone has been talking about if editing is useful or not and listen to me, yes it is....
