To write a book

Benedict was at chair and in front table, he has a paper and he has took a pen; he was costumed so; this is on contrary write trough computer soon he preferred to write, rough draft on paper and after copy it on computer; Benedict was a writer, and his editor would a book, but a book that was very odd, something very charming, never read and therefore never wrote; his task was: “You must be odd, and I want sale something that is very odd! Not lose time”, order certainly much clear. He, when was in his apartment, tried something that was odd; but very strange, when Benedict was pressed with these orders he successful soon to his task, a time, like Dostoevskij, he wrote a book among 31 days; his editor was very happy, he was a creative man and had read very much, varies matter, except science, that he bragged that around Math and other scientific argument he was perfectly ignorant, he was a pure litter man, and major problem was that now he must write a book and he is searching an idea or argument, his editor would alone a book, odd book, and argument not was important, but the book yes, and much important. Benedict therefore searched in his culture some argument, a book around philosophy, not certainly too demanding, a romance, neither, it was very tiring and boring, libraries were full romance and love history very expired, usual and by now very terminated. He considered other possibilities, though and though again, until he has an idea; how is possible to write a book; what a writer must makes, and what he must consider, but after, remembering taht he has read, and very often angry which he had for authors very poor, he though: “I not must write a book around way to write a book, but around not must be wrote a book”, a handbook for perfect writer, because he has seen that much writers made same mistakes, long histories often with conclusion very trivial, or better pathetic, usually and ordinaries; unreadable but some copies the sale. Benedict then started his draft with an advice: “For writers, hear the words of your colleague; you must ovoid lovers and passion, histories with common homicides or political argument, and if you must use this argument take that is historical, because a romance must be interesting but also explains what is argument that it is philosophical, historical, literature or other gender, your protagonist must explains argument, therefore a philosopher must explains a theory and he must make so that all readers can understand it, otherwise it will be alone a together of very well words, but useless for readers, because they must know philosophy and other; the writer must read very much because with his culture he can explains all with easiness; therefore before that write one must read. Descriptions, very long, alone for to filled pages are very bore, and reader will be tired and bored after second pages, you must be concise, and above all you not must think that reader is idiot, therefore if you give a concise description reader understand what you are describing, a book must teach and not alone break the balls, dialogues must be concise and very pregnant for mean, keep some surprise, for this are necessary study of some movies thriller, you can see how history become during the narration, for movies scenes are very short, you must take this shortness and translate it in your tale, little images, but that were necessary to tale or book, it is better a book of 99 pages but very involving rather one of 500 pages and it is very bore; you must think that reader hasn’t time for to read and some concept in a history is very charming, but a long history filled with particulars is boring and reader loses the mean of history, because he will be involving among a thousand images that haven’t connection with history and among them, therefore will be useless”. Benedict took his draft and lighted his computer wrote that he has though and he has written, and when he got up and turned, he realized that much persons were back, he asked who were, and he recognized soon much European writers as American, who looked him and opened a door, and a writer invited him to entry; Benedict with his papers between hands asked: “Why do I must entry here?”, and writer: “Because we are entry in history for this door, and we are also dead”, and Benedict answered: “But I aren’t dead”, and writer indicated to Benedict to see, and he made it, therefore he saw that his corps was on the table and he doesn’t breathes, therefore he turned toward door and gone in.
