I welcomed the request because I believe that the words we use to communicate reveal a lot about us and about the message that a writer wants to send to the reader. Not only that, the words remain, they have an impact on the reader, they can disturb, amuse, shock, however they imprint themselves on the mind. It follows that choosing words when writing a story is one of the most difficult and also delicate tasks of the writer. It is from those words that we can be appreciated or not. It is from those words that our history can be remembered, because it left us something.
It's not just a matter of plot, which is still important, but also of words, which are a bit like the cells of the story. Effectiveness of words Words must have an effect. When I read some authors, such as Phone Number Data Wilbur Smith or Dan Brown, who were very popular with the public, I had no feeling or emotion. The pages flowed, yes, but without leaving anything, like water sliding over the body. I have never read anything by those two authors again, except for a single novel.
Those readings didn't convey anything to me, I wasn't struck by the sentences and sentences, which were just a toneless set of words, one after the other without strength, almost without life. But the words to use in our stories must be able to be remembered by the reader. They have to hit him where he is weakest. They have to break down a wall. I still remember the words used by authors that I enjoy reading every time, such as Cormac McCarthy, George Martin, Bernard Cornwell, Riccardo Coltri, Len Deighton, Emilio Salgari. These authors managed to move something inside me, to leave a sign of their passage.
