- AL: Ungabuyela kuleyo ncwadi yokuqala oyifundile? Nendaba yokuqala oyibhalile?
ELENA ALVAREZ: Lapho ngisemncane, nganginencwadi (enyathelwe kahle kakhulu) ngendaba ka Cinderella ukuthi umama wayengifundela nsuku zonke: njengoba ngangikwazi ngekhanda, ngiyakukhumbula lokho Ngidlale "funda" ngiphinda indaba futhi elandela izinhlamvu ngomunwe wakhe, nakuba wayengakaziqondi!
Ngabhala nezindaba ezimfishane ngiseyingane, kodwa inoveli yokuqala engabhala ngafika ngikhona eziyishumi nambili iminyaka. Bekukodwa ende kakhulu indaba emnandi ukuthi abanye babangane bami kuphela ababefunda osukwini lwabo, kodwa lokho kwangenza ngabona ukuthi engangikufuna ngempela kwakuwukuba umbhali.
- AL: Umbhali oyinhloko? Ungakhetha ngaphezu kweyodwa nakuzo zonke izinkathi.
ELENA ALVAREZ: Kunzima kakhulu ukukhetha, ngoba nyanga zonke ngithola ababhali abasha engibathandayo, kodwa mhlawumbe ngenxa yendlela okube nomthelela ngayo ohlotsheni lwamanoveli engifisa ukuwabhala, ngingakusho lokho. IGaldos ungumbhali oseceleni kombhede wami.
- AL: Yimuphi umlingiswa osencwadini obungathanda ukuhlangana naye futhi umakhe?

Ngivame ukugqoka ebook esikhwameni futhi cishe ngihlale nginayo a i-audiobook ezandleni zami, engizilalela lapho ngiya emsebenzini noma lapho ngidlala imidlalo. Yiqiniso, uma ngisekhaya ngizama ukufunda njalo ngokukhanya okuhle kanye nesihlalo esithokomele.
Ukubhala Yebo, nginezinto zokuzilibazisa: ngaphezu kwakho konke, ngidinga ukuthula Ngeshwa, angikwazi ukuchitha isikhathi esiningi ngibhala ngendlela engingathanda ngayo, ngakho-ke ngidinga ukukhulisa amahora engingawachitha ngibhala ngokususa iziphazamiso!

ELENA ALVAREZ: Ngithanda ukubhalela i ekuseni, okuyilapho ingqondo yami isiqabuleke khona futhi imibono yami igeleza kangcono. Akwenzeki njalo, izinsuku eziningi ngibhala ngemuva kokudla noma ngisebenzise ithuba izimpelasonto ukwenza “ama-marathon okubhala” amancane. ngine-a isifundo esincane ekhaya okulungele ukubhala, ikakhulukazi ngezinsuku zemvula!
- AL: Ingabe zikhona ezinye izinhlobo ozithandayo?
ELENA ALVAREZ: Empeleni Ngifunde konke Nakuba kuyiqiniso ukuthi engikujabulela kakhulu amanoveli omlando, ngezikhathi ezithile ngizizwa ngifuna ukucwiliswa inoveli ka mistery o una ezothando. Ngokuqondene nenganekwane, Ngiyazithanda izincwadi noma izikhumbuzo zababhali lapho bekhuluma khona ngenqubo yabo yokudala.

ngikhona ukusebenza kunoveli entsha, futhi ezomlando, kodwa more ebheke maqondana Thriller kune-costumbrismo ephawule imisebenzi yami yokugcina. Sizobona ukuthi yini esele. Akuvamile ukuthi kube umbono wokuqala ofinyelela ezitolo zezincwadi, futhi yilokho kanye okwenza lo msebenzi ube muhle kangaka.

Kodwa izinto azilula kakhulu kubashicileli abazimele kanye nezitolo zezincwadi, kubahumushi noma abahlola amaphutha, ukunikeza izibonelo ezimbalwa.
Izincwadi eziningi zishicilelwa nsuku zonke. Kunzima kakhulu ukufinyelela abafundi ngokunembile ngenxa yokuthi banokuningi ongakhetha kuzo futhi izincwadi, eziphrintiwe nangefomethi yedijithali, azishibhile. Njengokungathi lokho akwanele, impilo ewusizo yezinto ezintsha iba mfushane nsuku zonke. Izincwadi zicekelwa phansi nsuku zonke ukuze kuvuleke indawo entsha, okuthi ezinyangeni ezimbalwa nazo zibhujiswe.
Yingakho ngisazisa kakhulu isikhathi esitshalwe ekwenzeni incwadi kube inguqulo engcono kakhulu yombhali wayo ingakhiqiza. Ibonisa lapho incwadi ihlelwe ngokucophelela, lapho uqaphela ukuthi uthatha ucezu oluncane lwenhliziyo yalabo abaye basebenza kuyo uye ekhaya.

Kodwa ngizobe nginamanga uma ngikutshela ukuthi lokhu esike sabhekana nakho kule minyaka edlule akungithinti. Kodwa-ke, esinye sezizathu ezenza ngithande ukufunda amanoveli omlando namanoveli abhalwe abantu bakwamanye amasiko yingoba ngikujabulela kakhulu ukufunda ukubona impilo ngamehlo ahlukene. Futhi lokho kungenza ngizibuze lo mbuzo: Ingabe ikusasa belilokhu linengozi? Ingabe owethu ubonakala kithi njengomphakathi ongaqinisekile ngenxa nje yokuthi yiwo esiphila kuwo?
