Anonyme.7:12, Ciel légèrement couvert, 27,º mer d’huile.Bonjour.« Vous devriez peut-être lire, ou relire, La Ponctuation ou l’Art d’accommoder les textes de Sylvie Prioul et Olivier Houdart. Editions du Seuil, 2006″.Hum, vous devriez commencer par mettre en pratique votre propre conseil. A lire ce petit ouvrage, précisément, la pertinence de la notule de A15 est évidente.
Che bella anche questa intervista :))La sceneggiatrice… un MITO di mestiere… come sai, sono reduce da un corso di sceneggiatura!Mi ha colpito quando Simona parla di scrivere in un rumoroso ufficio, con telefono che squilla e cose più urgenti da fare… mi rendo conto che ho un po' idealizzato il mestiere, pensando a chi scrive (sceneggiature, libri) come qualcuno che lo fa a casa sua, magari seduto a una bella scrivania di fronte ad un camino e una finestra panoramica, con in mano una tazza di the fumante… :)Ma, comunque sia, guadagnarsi da vivere scrivendo è il mio sogno.
