Those that Chiara defined in her post as stories that she wouldn't write even with a gun to her head . Other than that Misery must not die , she would get killed by the avid reader. Each of us has her readings and therefore also her writings. However, we usually tend to separate the two things, but for me they are very linked. Erotic and sex novels : for me sex is part of the private, I always say it. I can't stand even a single scene like that in a movie - not even passionate kisses - let alone reading an entire novel. They bore me to death. These are things that are lived, not read in books and I hope I have explained myself. Love stories : same as above. Deadly boredom. I actually wrote one for the Delos Books selection 365 love stories , but it was only as a personal challenge. Psychological dramas : that is, those static stories, made only of dialogues and thoughts, zero actions, which force the poor reader into psychological torture.
They're definitely not for me and I wouldn't even be able to write them. I am very down to earth and pragmatic. Social themes : drug addiction, divorce, domestic violence, racism, alcohol, etc. Everything Special Data that is part of the reality in which I live (understood as a historical period, I don't have any of those problems). I don't like my reality at all, I often say this, so I can't write a story that forces me to stay in the middle of it. This is why I avoid Italian cinema, because it depresses me. If I have to go to the cinema, I have to get out of my world. And this is why I almost don't read Italian authors at all: for the same reason. Problems of adolescence : not having had any – or at least not enough to justify a story – I wouldn't know what to write about. They also don't interest me. Today there are novels about social media and the abuse that young people make of it, for example, stories that I would never read.
Illnesses : is there anything sadder? The ones I experienced in the family sphere were enough for me and I don't feel like depressing myself by writing stories on those themes. I still remember the title of a film that they made on TV many years ago, My Son's Last Summer ... it made you cut your wrists just at the title. Of course I didn't see it. Stories of ships and the sea : because I don't like the sea. So I can set my stories in the mountains, in the city or in the forests, but not in the sea. Those about ships, then, even though I have read them and also have a nice collection of books by Patrick O'Brien and the boxed set of Captain Hornblower novels by CS Forester, are impossible for me, with all that incomprehensible nomenclature on ship parts and on the verbs of the various actions. Judicial mysteries : like the ones written by John Grisham, who is a lawyer.
