HALCOMBE NORILSK ENTREVISTA EN LA INDIA
1.
At
what age did you find out that you wish to become a writer and how?
I have always wanted to write. In fact, I started writing at a very young age. Indeed, I was always writing something. However, I did not take it seriously until 2012 when I decided to write more and every day. I had not written more seriously before because I thought writing is a waste of time insofar as it is not a clever idea to earn a living but I started nevertheless as doing what one loves in life is essential.
2.
Before
being a writer what was you by profession?
I am a sign language interpreter. What is more, my mother tongue is sign language as my parents are deaf. Besides working as a sign language interpreter I have worked as English teacher, English/Spanish interpreter in Toronto or New Jersey for instance and likewise I have had other minor jobs in factories, banks or enterprises. I have also studied International commerce and I have the English certificates from Cambridge University. This is more or less my experience before being a writer. I have been writing blogs and on the Internet for years as well.
3. Who was the inspiration for you to become a
writer?
Nobody. And people should not adore idols too much. If
you feel you want to be a writer and you love writing just be a writer but do
not pay attention to anybody because you are unique. Everybody has people who
inspire them and of course I admire some writers but you must not be inspired
by people what you admire are his/her works in reality.
4. Out of
the 4 books you have authored, which is your personal favorite and why?
El Verano de Natalie Davis (the summer of Natalie
Davis) is my favourite book. I hope one day it can be translated into English.
Natalie Davis is my main character and I want to write a lot of adventures with
her as a protagonist. Since this was her first adventure it will always be my
preferred one.
5. Describe yourself and your books. (So that the
readers will get to know about you and your books better).
I love culture and I an open-minded person who loves
to know about other countries or cultures. My sense of humour is my main weapon
and my writings tend to have a hidden sense of humour. My two first books are
not so commercial because these were a compilation of writings, articles or
short stories I had been writing, my second book was written in English and
published in the United States but it is equivalent to the first one. The
second book henceforth, my books are entirely fictional.
6. Share anything that inspired you the most in
life.
Anything inspires me. However, there is something that
I really love and this is watching movies. I am not a big fan of television
series because they always enlarged them artificially but when it comes to
movies I am passionate about them and a good movie always inspires me. In fact,
I mention and I pay homage to many movies in the first adventure of Natalie
Davis (El Verano de Natalie Davis)
7. What are the things you enjoy doing besides writing
of course?
My dog Evarista died last month. It was my pleasure to
walk her throughout the countryside every morning. Walking with her through the
countryside was my favourite hobby. I like running, watching movies, reading
any kind of newspaper, magazine or novel and listening to music are things I
deeply enjoy.
8. What is your dream that you wish to achieve in
the coming years?
My dream is to see a movie based on any of my books.
This is my biggest dream. All the adventures of Natalie Davis were written
thinking in a movie adaptation and I will write so many adventures of Natalie
Davis I strongly believe my dream can come true one day. However, my aim is to
publish a book every year in order to keep writing until the day I die.
9. As you are from Spain, what is that in Spain you
would like to share with other nationals.
Spain is a great country but now most of the countries
in Europe are in the European Union. Yet, countries like Spain that are in the
South of Europe are mistreated by European Union thus countries such as Italy,
Greece, Portugal and Spain (countries in which there is mainly a good weather
all year long by the way) are not well treated as countries from the North of
Europe. This obliges us to depend on tourism. This is unfair, but the truth is
Spain is a major tourist destination, so as you are reading this outside Spain,
I recommend you to visit my country as you will have a great time because
everything is prepared to give tourists a good experience and the tourism
industry is paramount here because what is more, as an European country, Spain
has a long history and you can learn a lot discovering different Spanish cities
which are all very beautiful.
10. What was the best and worst thing (you believe to
be) that has ever happened to you so far?
The best thing is to be able to wake up and be able to
do all I want all day long which is not easy but as I am a writer, I can try doing
it. One of the worst things that has ever happened to me has just taken place recently
as my wonderful dog Evarista died last January. She was 15 years of age. She
was an incredibly clever and funny dog. She helped me to write.
11. What is the style you keep in writing and how
do you intend to move on in your writing career in the coming years?
My style is very direct. I like my stories to have a
lot of happenings but I do not like to waste time describing. My aim is to
publish one book every year of my life. I have a new manuscript finished. It is
titled “Dulce Katia” (Sweet Katy) and I would love to have it published this
year 2021. I have 5 Word documents prepared, each of them has a different title
and plot but I have only one ended, this last one (Dulce Katia). The remaining four will be my (hopefully)
future new books. For instance, the third part of the adventures of Natalie
Davis will be titled “El Destino de Natalie Davis” (the destiny of Natalie
Davis”)
12. Share a piece of advice for content writers
from your experience and to all who wish to follow their passion.
This piece of advice is for everyone who is reading
this. You should write something every day, every day. You should read every
day, walk your dog throughout the countryside for one hour, if you do not have
dogs or you live in the city try running for 40 minutes. Likewise, you should meditate
for 20 minutes every day and try to have a very light dinner every night.
Lastly, try waking up when your body tells you to do so and try doing all the
things you like when possible. These tips will make you have a better life and
to be a more creative person.
