У ці темні страшні часи єдине, що допомагає мені відволіктися - книга, яку пишу. Замість новин та телевізора, газет і передач. Мій власний ритуал зцілення. Вимкнути в кімнаті світло, запалити паличку пало-санто та відкрити на комп'ютері файл з рукописом. Зробити ковток м'якого димного шу-пуеру, заплющити на секунду очі й перенестись геть від реалій буденності. До вкритих легендами прадавніх гір, одвічного карпатського лісу, що приховує в собі стільки магічних таємниць. До головних героїв моєї оповіді - благородних, пристрасних, здатних на любов і самопожертву, вірних та чесних... Туди, де в кінці обов'язково переможе правда, а зло буде покаране... Дійство, варте тисячі медитацій. Таке, що дарує сили не зневірюватись в справедливості та торжестві добра не лише у вигаданому, а й в реальному світі... Заряджає змогою надіятись на краще, адже це все, що багатьом з нас зараз залишається... #думкивголос #рінарайтер #пишукнигу #книгаукраїнською #письменництво #прописьменництво #письменницькийблог #блогписьменника #блогписьменниці #влісі #наприроді #writer #aboutwrite #writerblog #blogwriter #writebook #bookwriter #writening #intheforest #nature #мысливслух #писательство #описательстве #писательскийблог #блогписателя #блогписательницы #наприроде #влесу #природа
Про цільову аудиторію письменника. Сьогодні видалила 10 людей з підписників. Скажете, зараз, на початку, навпаки повинна цінувати кожного і всіляким чином збільшувати їх кількість? Але ні, дякую) Мене не цікавлять "1000 підписників за 100 грн", чи незрозумілі акаунти без аватарів, постів, але із посиланнями кудись перейти, чи дівчата зі слоганом "супер-секси-бомб, лучше меня будет только дочь", чи гарячі східні чоловіки з коментами типу "Hi, you are beautiful" під єдиною фоткою мене власне в профілі... Та й думаю, і я, як і моя творчість, всім вищезгаданим категоріям не цікава і не потрібна) То ж нащо перетинатися, навіть тут, в інста-просторі?) P.s: за тиждень існування цієї сторінки вкотре ловлю кайф від озвучування власних думок і позицій, можливо суперечливих комусь, але щирих та вільних) Дякую всім, хто залишається зі мною!🙏 #рінарайтер #пишукнигу #книгаукраїнською #письменництво #прописьменництво #письменницькийблог #блогписьменника #блогписьменниці #карпати #водоспад #writer #aboutwrite #writerblog #blogwriter #writebook #bookwriter #writening #carpathians #waterfall #nature #писательство #описательстве #писательскийблог #блогписателя #блогписательницы #карпаты #водопад #влесу #природа
А чому ти пишеш українською? Ти ж звикла і спілкуватися, і читати, і дивитися фільми російською? Таке запитання я недавно отримала від людини, яка досить близько мене знає) І тут декілька відповідей. Перша - я безумовно пишаюся розвитком державної мови в своїй країні за останній час. Відродженням забутого та появою нового українського кіно, літератури, культурного життя... Це моя власна думка і позиція, яку я нікому не нав'язую, а лише висловлюю. Недискусійно. Крапка. По друге, не так давно, в блозі однієї з колег було опитування, для кого ви пишете - для себе чи для аудиторії? Я не знаю майбутньої долі моєї книги, що лише пишеться - чи буде вона комусь цікава, чи "зайде", але розумію, що з огляду на перший пункт, видавництво, як і читач в моїй країні зацікавиться скоріш за все саме україномовним текстом... І останнє. Це виклик самій собі)) Чи зможу висловити все те, що маю в голові, чи "потягну". Я поки ще часто користуюсь перекладачем і словником синонімів, але вже навчилася отримувати від цього задоволення)) Ось так, якщо коротко... А для Вас важливо, якою мовою написана книга, якщо вона вам подобається? Саме первинна історія, не переклад, які бувають не зовсім вдалими...Чи спонукає такий твір на вивчення мови, якщо ви відчуваєте свою поверхневість знань? P.s: це зовсім не заважатиме мені переписуватись російською з читачами. Адже найперша повага до людини - спілкуватись з нею тією мовою, якою вона володіє) #рінарайтер #пишукнигу #книгаукраїнською #письменництво #прописьменництво #письменницькийблог #блогписьменника #блогписьменниці #карпати #гірськарічка #природа #writer #aboutwrite #writerblog #blogwriter #writebook #bookwriter #writening #carpathians #nature #montainriver #писательство #описательстве #писательскийблог #блогписателя #блогписательницы #карпаты #горнаярека

Mă simt pustie, fără dorul meu de a scrie, fără inspirația mea, fără clipele de tăcere și gândire intensă. Poate că mă cred matură, sunt destul de mare să-mi găsesc un scop, dar sunt disperată lăuntric, îmi fierbe ceea ce nu am știut că am în corpu-mi ofilit de la atâtea nopți de nesomn și gândire verticală. Un orizont semi-proiectat s-arată.

This week's writing prompt is also in keeping with this week's theme of Narrative Distance. Try starting zoomed into something innocuous (like a bowl of cereal) but pull out to reveal something unexpected (like a vast war zone). Rugrats was a 90s cartoon that used to do something like this at the beginning of each episode, if you're liking for inspiration..😉 #writing #writingprompts #writersofinsta #writersofinstagram #amwriting #narrativedistance #aboutwrite #writingadvice
Narrative distance is something you don't hear a lot about, but it's core to understanding the effect your writing has on other people. This week, I go into depth on the topic in my first "real" About Write blog post.

兩年就這樣過去。 上一段文字前，大概想不到以後會這樣發展。 也猜不到自己最終會回到這避身之處。 不久以前，真的踫上了，也確實交代了最後的最後。 原來曾答應過自己要放下，放下了嗎？ #aboutwrite #hkig
每聽必哭 . 有些人用朋友這個詞 拖住對方 讓對方一直在那頭等你 真的很自私 . 既然你沒辦法給我答覆 那我可以自己轉身離開 但 希望這次你不要在拖著我了 拜託你了 ————————————————— #aboutlove #aboutlike #aboutwrite#手寫#文字 #handwriting#手寫的溫度#手寫字 #手抄 #write#張惠妹#連名帶姓 #toEagleG

生日快樂。 那年那天提著耗了不少心思在國外給你訂的禮物。 我固執地總要在十二點後送給你，你拖著不知是因生活而疲倦，或因我而疲倦的身驅到來。 我以為你會很驚喜或感動，但你只淡淡地說了句謝謝就沒了。 這段期間，你我都撐得很苦吧。 所以才導致之後一系列的劇情... #沒營養的post #aboutwrite #hkig
[挖掘記憶。一] 以為你沒心思與我度過午夜，一氣之下隨便撒了個謊便找了那個他陪我促膝詳談。 誰知你在打聽我，誰知你原來為我準備了驚喜，誰知你與我媽早已有計劃... 然後一切泡湯，淚水收場。 今天回想，我仍相信那時我們的確相愛，只是這樣刻骨銘心的劇情不適合終身上演。 從此，驚喜不再，各自各精彩。 原來，深愛亦不足以維繫關係。 原來，愈是忘不了，愈不應該再觸碰... #hkig #aboutwrite
逕自走著又走到了那街口，看著為你呆坐到零晨四點的冷板凳，依舊是無情得讓我死心。 事隔多年，走到有你氣息的店。 當天脆弱如我，若看見你在，定必失守吧？ 再過數天，夢中相見。 你向我剖白心跡，娓娓道來這些年來的一切，突然離開的原因... 才發現越是消失得刻意，越讓我牽掛住。 我們傷大家的都太多，已沒任何一種關係可容納。 但那疑問會一直長存我心底，直至我們再見。 #hkig #aboutwrite
「被傷害的還有喊痛的權利，但傷人的只能待時間過去，自我腐蝕...」 記於二零一二年三月十九日。 不是存心想傷害一個人，而是當初的我不理解當初的你。 但現在的我卻終於明白當初的你，然而所有已經太遲。 「若是沒有這意外，也許經已快樂地」 現實中沒能讓時間倒流的魔法，也事實上不是意外。 「誰自我中心負了所愛」 難道全為對方設想才是愛？ 難道愛便要坦白一切？ 並不然的。 #hkig #aboutwrite
[天蠍系] 天蠍座的人都讓人覺得他們很神秘很難預料。 但神秘的人不一定要是天蠍座，他們都會對別人築了一道牆，以最無損的一面示人。 也許是飛蛾總要撲火的道理吧。 這種人總有些吸引。 那欲言又止的對話、意思不明的言行，都輕易讓別人往心裡去。 越想踏前去探個究竟、對方越後退的感覺，很是有趣。 嗯？ #hkig #aboutwrite
如果能重來一次，還會出走嗎？ 如果沒分開，會至今仍後悔嗎？ 我有個他，心底裡亦有個他。 一個讓我只剩下後悔的他。 #hkig #aboutwrite
我只是她心中不能道出的一面； 也可能是你面對不了的一面。 #hkig #aboutwrite
