Wolemba Kathy Aspden, Wolemba *
Kulemba ndi zambiri monga kupanga mwana. Nthawi zina, zimafunika chilichonse kuti munthu afike pamlingo woti atenge mimba, ndipo nthawi zina simukumbukira ngakhale kugonana usiku umenewo, koma mwanjira ina mwana anatengedwa. Mulimonsemo zonse zimayamba ndi kambewu kakang'ono komwe kamabzalidwa mumtima mwanu (kapena ubongo wanu ngati ndi momwe mumalumikizirana).

Ngakhale kale Pa nthawi ya mimba, chithunzi cha mwana wanu chikuoneka kale: "Adzakhala ndi maso anga, milomo ya mwamuna wanga, ndipo mwina osati mphuno ya Amalume John ..." Poyembekezera, kholo likupanga mwana wophatikizana m'maganizo mwawo. Ndi chimodzimodzi kwa olemba. Timaganizira mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya makhalidwe, mphamvu ndi zofooka za anthu omwe ali m'nkhaniyi.

"Khalidwe Lophatikizana" ndi mawu omwe ndinali wotsimikiza kuti ndinapanga, mpaka nditayang'ana pa Wikipedia. Chomwe ndinapeza chinali chakuti ndakhala ndikugwiritsa ntchito njira yomwe olemba ndi opanga mafilimu ambiri akhala akuchita kwamuyaya - kutenga anthu awiri kapena kuposerapo kuchokera m'moyo weniweni kapena zokumana nazo kapena ngakhale mbiri yakale, ndikuwaphatikiza kukhala munthu m'modzi wachilendo, wosangalatsa wokhala ndi zofooka zazikulu (monga momwe anthu ambiri abwino alili) komanso wogwirizana. Chinali chifukwa china chomwe ndinapanga chinthu chomwe wina adapanga kale (ikani hammock yoyendera, chitseko chozungulira cha ma slider, wopanga ma bun a ballerina nthawi yomweyo).

Chinthu chachilendo Ndichifukwa chakuti sindingathe kudziwa ngati anthu omwe ndimawakonda ayamba kundikumbutsa za munthu amene amandikonda pamene ndikulemba, kapena ngati pali kale munthu amene ali m'mutu mwanga amene makhalidwe ake alowa m'mutu mwanga. Aliyense amene amandidziwa mwina anaganiza kuti mwina pali anthu ambiri m'mutu mwanga kuposa amene amaonedwa kuti ndi athanzi. Kaya chifukwa chake n'chiyani, anthu omwe ndimawakonda amakonda kukhala ndi makhalidwe ambiri - monga mipira ya chipale chofewa m'mphepete mwa phiri - pamene nkhani zawo zikupita patsogolo.

Ndikudziwa bwino za izi pamene ndikulemba mafilimu. N'zosavuta kukhala ndi wochita sewero woti ndizione ngati nkhaniyo ikuyamba. Ndipo n'chifukwa chiyani wochita sewero ngati Julianna Moore (yemwe ali ndi Diane Keaton wamng'ono) sangafune kusewera gawo la Grace Mitchell, wolemba wazaka 49 yemwe wangolemba buku lothandiza lodzithandiza lodzudzula chilakolako cha achinyamata ku America, koma akhoza kutaya chilichonse akapeza kuti ali ndi pakati ndi dokotala wa opaleshoni ya pulasitiki wazaka 38? Nkhani yabwino, sichoncho? (Chozizwitsa Chosasangalatsa chikupezeka ngati mungasankhe ngati ndinu wopanga mafilimu wopambana).

Mulimonsemo, kubwerera ku Anthu anga osokonezeka awa. Chomwe ndinazindikira chinali chakuti dokotala wanga wamaganizo anali wolakwika; mawu omwe anali m'mutu mwanga anali abwino. Kugwira ntchito ndi anthu, kukhala m'banja lalikulu, kulandira chikondi chachilengedwe cha kuyanjana kwa anthu kuchokera kwa amayi anga ndi abambo anga kunandipatsa moyo wanga wonse magawo ndi zidutswa zosangalatsa komanso zosangalatsa zoti ndisankhe polemba. Gawo la ubongo wanga la maganizo/lochita zinthu zambiri/lowonjezera linayamba kupindulitsa! Kuphatikiza apo, ndinapeza pulogalamu yabwino kwambiri yomwe inandithandiza kuwona ma combos anga posakaniza anthu.

Nayi yanga JulianneDianeKeatonMoore kuphatikiza.

PS Ndinapanganso Transformer yoyamba, yomwe ndi chitsanzo cha munthu wophatikizana — mutu wa chidole womwe unasanduka chikwama chosinthira ndalama. Sindinatchule Transformer. Ndinatcha Chikwama cha mutu wa chidole.

Kupweteka Kwambiri
Wolemba Kathy Aspeden, Wolemba*

Zaka zingapo zapitazo Ndinaphunzira kalasi yolemba zinthu zatsopano kuchokera kwa Pulofesa Patricia McGraw. Inali kosi ya magawo atatu yopangidwira olemba otsogola.

Mwamtheradi, Ndinkafuna kupindula kwambiri ndi kalasi.

Koma ndimafunanso kupeza "A" (wofunafuna giredi - khalidwe loipa lomwe latsala chifukwa chosakwaniritsa chilichonse chamasewera muubwana wanga). Zimenezi zikutanthauza kuti ndimachita homuweki yonse, ngakhale zinthu zomwe ndimapeza kuti ndi zosafunikira kapena zobwerezabwereza. Chilichonse.

Pulofesa McGraw Iye anati izi zinatipangitsa kuti tigwiritse ntchito luso lathu lolemba zinthu zakale zomwe zikuyamba kukhala njira yodziwika bwino. Masamba anayi a manotsi olembedwa ndi manja usiku uliwonse. Ugh!

Unali ululu Kwa ine. Ndili ndi zolemba zoyipa komanso zokanda. Manja anga sazungulira. Sindingathe kupeza chilichonse pathupi langa kuti ndipange bwalo. Akakolo amagubuduzika panthawi ya yoga, hula hoop hips, zonsezi zimakhala zovuta.

Sindine wachisomo, Ndine wochita zinthu mwanzeru. Ndikhoza kujambula zenera ndi dzanja popanda kuyika chivundikiro. Ine ndine mwana amene amachita zonse zofunika pa ntchito yojambula zithunzi za banja.

I osapanga zozungulira kapena ma arc okongola. Cursive imadzaza ndi ma round okongola a zozungulira!

Kodi mungaganizire Kupeza giredi laling'ono chifukwa cha chinthu chosavuta monga kulemba mozungulira? Zinamveka bwino ngati sukulu ya pulayimale - mpaka nditazindikira. Inde, monga anthu ambiri, ubongo wanga umagwira ntchito mwachangu kuposa manja anga. Ndinayenera kupumula maganizo anga, zomwe zinandipatsa nthawi yochulukirapo yoganizira zinthu zosiyanasiyana. Ndani ankadziwa?

Pamene ndinazindikira Popeza Pulofesa McGraw sanali kuyang'ana zomwe zili mkati, ndinkamvabe kuti ndili ndi udindo wochita bwino ntchitoyo. Tsiku lina ndinalemba masamba anayi athunthu a mitu ya mabuku yomwe inali yogwirizana. "Moyo Womwe Tinapanga - Kupanga Pie - Pie mu Diso Lanu - Maso Ali Nawo - Zachitika mu Paki - Lonjezo la Park Plaza - Lonjezo Loti Simuli Wamisala - Psycho ndi Dzina Lina la Wosiyana - Chilakolako Chosiyana…"

Nditalemba kale mndandanda wa zakudya zomwe ndinkagula ndili mwana, "Chef-Boy-Ardee Raviolis, Captain Crunch Cereal, Frosted Pop Tarts, Tang – kusankha kwa oyenda mumlengalenga…" Mwamvetsa chithunzicho.

Pamaso pa kalasi Tiyerekezere zolemba zokhudza momwe magazini athu anali opusa. Munthu wina analemba zonse zomwe wofotokozera nkhani za NHL Hockey ananena. Winanso analemba malonda onse pamene iye ankaonera nkhani motsatizana za Gray's AnatomyWophunzira wina anafotokoza zonse zomwe mphaka wake anachita — kuwonjezera zokambirana zoseketsa kwambiri pakati pa zochita.

Tinaganiza Tinkagonjetsa dongosololi, koma tinayenera kuvomereza kuti chinachake chikuchitika. Malingaliro anali kuyambika chifukwa cha kulemba ndi manja.

Lero, zozungulira akubwerera.

Posachedwapa ndawona Pulogalamu ya nkhani yokhudza opambana mpikisano wa Campaign for Cursive wa 2017. Inali yodzaza ndi ana omwe ankaona kuphunzira kwa cursive ngati chilankhulo kapena kufufuza zakale. Anali akatswiri odziwa bwino za cursive, onyada kuti adadziwa bwino chilankhulo chomwe anzawo ambiri sankadziwa kuti chilipo.

Ndikusiyani ndi ulalo wabwino kwambiri ku Njira 9 Zodabwitsa Zolembera ndi Manja za Johanna Silver Zimapindulitsa Matupi ndi Ubongo Wathu, komanso kuyang'ana mmbuyo nyenyezi yonse ya New York Yankees, Alex Rodriquez, yomwe idapangidwa ndi kupepesa kwake kolembedwa ndi manja kwa okonda baseball.

Kathy Aspden, ndiye wolemba buku la Baklava, Biscotti, ndi munthu wa ku Ireland, komanso wowunikira mabuku a LitLovers.

NKHANI NDI CHINSINSI CHAMATSENGA. Koma ngati zili bwino kwambiri sizimangopanga dziko longopeka; zimapangitsa kuti lenilenilo liwonongeke, zimapangitsa wolemba kutayika. Buku lokha ndi lomwe lingachite izi - kukulolani kuti mudzitayike kwathunthu. Chifukwa chake, ngati mungathe, iwalani zina zonse. Ingokhalani ndi bukuli.

Ndi chakale kwambiri nkhani yolembedwa m'mabuku, yomwe olemba amagwiritsa ntchito poika anthu awo otchulidwa m'nkhani zawo panjira ya Ulendo wa Ngwazi—kufunafuna kudzipeza, kukhala m'gulu la anthu, komanso kudzivomereza.

Rachel Cusk, akufuna kuti ayambenso bukuli, malinga ndi Kubwereza kwa New York Times Book* Kungolemba kumene kumandipangitsa kutuluka thukuta. N’chifukwa chiyani tiyenera kupanganso bukuli?

Chabwino, ndamvetsaZili ngati olemba nyimbo akudabwa komwe angatengere nyimbo za symphonic pambuyo pa Beethoven. Ludwig pafupifupi ananena zonse.

Osauka Johannes Brahms: anthu atamva nyimbo yake yoyamba ya symphony, anati, "OMG! Ndi nyimbo ya 10 ya Beethoven." Kapena nkhaniyo ikupita choncho.

Pambuyo pa zaka zoposa 200 Ponena za bukuli ngati mtundu wa zaluso, n'zomveka kuti olemba angafune kuyesa china chake chosiyana.

Mwina mwazindikira chizolowezi chosintha malingaliro, anthu osiyanasiyana akusinthasintha paudindo…

... ndithudi Mwaona kuti kugwiritsa ntchito pafupipafupi kwa SHIFTING TIME FRAMES, kusowa kwa nthawi yolunjika…

... kapena mwina mwaona kugwiritsa ntchito MAWU ENA: nkhani, zolemba pa dayari, makalata olembedwa ndi manja, mapepala a maphunziro, maimelo, ngakhale PowerPoint…

... bwanji kugwiritsa ntchito ALTERNATE REALITIES?

Nthawi zina zimakhala zovuta kuti mudziwe komwe muli ... kapena khalidwe lomwe mukutsatira - chimodzi mwa zotsutsa zomwe zaperekedwa pa buku latsopano la Paul Auster lomwe nthawi zina limatchuka kwambiri 4321Nthawi zina, kusokonezeka konseku kwa nkhani kungapangitse kuti zikhale zovuta kulankhula ndi anthu otchulidwa.

Komabe tikudziwa Anthu amaona ndi kuona moyo mosiyana. Ndipo ndicho chimene nkhani yatsopanoyi ikuyesera kunena—kuonetsa kuti malingaliro a anthu sali omveka bwino, kuti pali njira zingapo zowonera chochitika china chake, ndipo kukumbukira n’kolakwika.

Komabe, musaphonye Kodi munthu wokamba nkhani m'modzi yekha ndi womasuka? Ine ndili ndi ufulu wowerenga nkhani m'zaka za m'ma 19, ndipo ndimayamikira kalembedwe kameneka komwe munthu wina amalowa pakhonde lanu, n’kutenga mpando, n’kukuuzani nkhani yaikulu.

Ndimadana kukhala Zachikale komanso zosokoneza. Koma ndatopa ndi mfundo yakuti buku lililonse latsopano lomwe ndimapeza limasokoneza malingaliro ndi nthawi. Anzanga, ndimayenera kungochotsa zimenezo pachifuwa panga.

Ha! Ndipo munaganiza Alangizi a malaibulale anali abwino kwambiri. Nayi nkhani yeniyeni ya UBANGO yomwe ingapangitse zala zanu kupindika.

AP inanena izi kuti laibulale ya m'boma ku Sorrento, Florida, inagwidwa ndi chinyengo chachinyengo cha SCA. Kwa miyezi isanu ndi inayi, munthu amene anali ndi makhadi abodza anafufuza mabuku pafupifupi 2,000.

Tsopano IMENEYO, owerenga okondedwa, ndi chinyengo cholembetsa. Koma mvetsetsani izi: mabuku nthawi zonse ankabwezedwa. Pasanathe ola limodzi. Sanawonongeke.

Wowerenga Wamkulu anali Chuck Finley, koma Chuck Finley kulibe (osachepera ndi khadi la East Lake Library). Zinapezeka kuti alaibulale awiri adataya chiphaso cha ID ndipo adachigwiritsa ntchito powerenga mabuku, ambiri nthawi imodzi—zonse kuchokera kwa John Steinbeck's Cannery Mzere ku Chifukwa Chiyani Makutu Anga Amamveka Bwino?, buku la ana lolembedwa ndi Ann Fullick.

Zonse zinali pachifukwa chabwino—kupulumutsa mabuku ku vuto lalikulu chifukwa mabuku omwe SANAONEKEDWE kwa nthawi yayitali amachotsedwa mu dongosolo la boma. Choncho oyang'anira malaibulale awiriwa adadzipatsa udindo wosunga mabuku ambiri momwe angathere.

Mpaka wina anawadzudzula. Ndi chisangalalo chachikulu bwanji.

Koma ndani munthu woipayo? apa—wopusa kapena woipa? Ngakhale mitima yathu itakhala yodzaza magazi, n'zovuta kunena. Ndi mabuku pafupifupi 300,000 omwe amafalitsidwa pachaka ndi nyumba zazikulu zaku US (50,000+ nkhani zongopeka zokha), malaibulale akukumana ndi KUSOWA kwakukulu kwa malo. Ndalama sizinthu zokha zomwe zikuchulukitsidwa… komanso mabuku omwe ali m'mashelefu.

Komabe, kodi tingatani kuti tisachite zimenezo? Kodi zikugwirizana ndi miyoyo iwiriyi ya anthu osadziwa zambiri—kapena osowa—okonda mabuku kotero kuti sangathe kuwataya m'chidebe cha mbiri yakale? (Btw, sindikudziwa zomwe zachitikira alaibulale athu—osati mabuku onse.)

Woseketsa koma nkhani yachisoni.

Pepani ... zatsala pang'ono kusonyeza zaka zanga. Kumbukirani Mkazi Wokonda Zinthu Zosiyanasiyana lolembedwa ndi Barbara Taylor Bradford? Mu 1979 linali buku logulitsidwa kwambiri ndipo kenako filimu ya pa TV.

Today Idzakhala "Mtsikana Wopanda Mphamvu." Tikulankhula za kutayika pomasulira.

Kodi fayilo ya Chabwino, ngati mukufunsa, ndinu wamng'ono kwambiri kuti simunakhalepo panthawi ya kayendetsedwe ka akazi kakumapeto kwa zaka za m'ma 60 ndi 70.

Mwawona Men misala, sichoncho? Zinali choncho, ngakhale m'zaka za m'ma 70. Ndinalipo. Kutchedwa "mtsikana" kunali konyoza. "Mtsikana wanga akhoza kukupezera khofi." Kapena, "Ayi. Musavutike. Atsikanawo akhoza kuyeretsa zimenezo." Zaka sizinali zofunika—21, 41, kapena 61—tinali atsikana chabe, osati akazi ofunikira.


Ichi ndichifukwa chake Ndimasokonezeka kwambiri ndi kugwiritsa ntchito "GIRL" m'mabuku ambirimbiri aposachedwa a MAYITA A M'BUKU—pafupifupi 200. Ndikudziwa chifukwa ndinalemba mndandanda. (Dinani batani kuti museke!)


Chotsatira? Ofalitsa omwe akufuna kupeza phindu pa chizolowezi chatsopanochi akukonza mabuku akale ndi mabuku atsopano, a ASIKANA ndi ATSIKANA. ONANI POST YATHU YOTSATIRA kuti mudziwe kuti ndi mabuku ati omwe mumakonda omwe apatsidwa mitu yatsopano. Mudzalira.

Pamene "upandu" ukupita, Zolemba sizili zotsika mtengo: kuba zinthu ndi zolemba zabodza sizivulaza, kulemaza, kapena kupha aliyense.

Ngakhale zili choncho, Milandu ingapo yokhudza mlandu yawonetsa kulephera kwa makhalidwe abwino kapena kukoma mtima.

1. Kulanda ndalama.
"Kupeza" kwa Pitani Mukaike Mlonda Loya wa Harper Lee, Tonya Carter, adati adapeza cholembedwa choyambiriracho ya Kupha Mbalame Yonyoza mu February 2015. Koma ena amanena kuti idapezeka mu 2011 ndi wothandizira wochokera ku Southeby's—ndipo Carter analipo pamene idapezeka.

Pambuyo poti Alice Lee, mlongo wake wa Harper komanso womuteteza kwa nthawi yayitali, anamwalira, Carter adalengeza "kutulukira" kwake bukuli. Nkhani yonseyi ikununkha za njira yosavuta yopezera ndalama komanso, choyipa kwambiri, kupusitsa kwa mayi wazaka 89 yemwe ali ndi matenda a sitiroko. Mutha kupeza nkhani ziwiri zabwino apa: imodzi mu Republic New ndi wina mu New York Times.

2. Nkhani yokhudza nkhani.
Dzina lenileni la Elena Ferrante, lomwe linali chinsinsi chomwe chinasungidwa kwa nthawi yayitali, linangowululidwa tsiku lina. M'njira yake, si nkhani yaikulu—kupatulapo wolemba buku la Mnzanga Wanzeru (kuphatikizanso nkhani ziwiri zotsatizana).

Ndiye kodi mtolankhani waku Italy Claudio Gatti analankhula za cholinga chapamwamba chotani? Kudzikuza kwambiri, mwina. Monga momwe mwini nyumba yofalitsa nkhani ya Ferrante ananenera: Ngati wina akufuna kukhala yekha, musiyeni.... Ndi wolemba ndipo sakupweteka aliyense.” Ameni kwa zimenezo.

3. Choyera.
Ngakhale sindinawerenge konse (Mulungu akudziwa kuti ndinayesa), buku latsopano la YA, Mayi Wanga Jane, ikuwonetsa kusamva bwino kwa mawu pa chimodzi mwa zochitika zoopsa kwambiri m'mbiri—kudulidwa mutu kwa Lady Jane Grey wazaka 16. Ndilola kuti chiyambi cha bukuli chidzilankhulire chokha:

[Padangokhala, panali mtsikana wazaka khumi ndi zisanu ndi chimodzi dzina lake Jane Grey, yemwe anakakamizidwa kukwatiwa ndi munthu wosamudziwa (Lord Guildford kapena Gilford kapena Gifford-chinachake-kapena-china), ndipo posakhalitsa pambuyo pake anadzipeza kukhala wolamulira dziko. Anakhala mfumukazi kwa masiku asanu ndi anayi. Kenako anataya mutu wake.

Inde, ndi tsoka lalikulu, ngati mukuona kuti kuchotsa mutu wa munthu m'thupi lake n'komvetsa chisoni. (Ndife ongofotokoza nkhani chabe, ndipo sitingaganize zomwe owerenga angaone kuti n'zomvetsa chisoni.)

Mayi Wanga Jane
Cynthia Dzanja ndi Brodie Ashton

Kodi ...?!

Chabwino, Ndingakhale wokwiya kwambiri, koma ndikukumbukira kuwerenga nkhani ya Lady Jane Gray mu kosi ya kusukulu yophunzitsa za Chingerezi. Moyo wake waufupi unali wachisoni kwambiri ndipo mapeto ake anali ankhanza.

Kupaka shuga ndi chinthu chimodzi, koma pali kugwiritsa ntchito molakwika, kuŵerenga molakwika, ndi kugwiritsa ntchito molakwika mbiri—chifukwa chiyani tiyenera “kungosangalala” ndi izi? (Mawu amenewo akuchokera kwa Kulemba ndemanga, yomwe imasonyezanso kuti "kuseka mosangalala" mbiri "kuchoka m'njira." Omg.)

Zambiri zolunjika, dziko lapansi lachita mantha ndi nkhani zina zochokera ku Middle East—ndipo, inde, timaona zochitika ngati zimenezi kukhala zoopsa.

Mukuwona? Ndine wokwiya komanso wokwiya.

Kudulidwa mutu kwa Lady Jane kunakhudza kwambiri ojambula zithunzi, ngakhale patatha zaka 300 kuchokera pamene nkhaniyi inachitikira. Nazi mawu awiri ofotokozera: Kuphedwa kwa Lady Jane Gray (1833) lolembedwa ndi Paul Delaroche ndi Lady Jane Grey Akukonzekera Kuphedwa (1835) lolembedwa ndi George Whiting Flagg.
