Alessandro: un sogno che avevo l'ho realizzato pochi minuti fa...
Ecco la email che ho mandato a STEPHEN KING!!!
"Hello, Steve!
I'm a reader of your novels since 1985, I started to write seriously in 2000, after reading your On writing, and I follow your teaching when I'm writing, tryin' to walk into your footsteps...
Do you remember, in On writing, you wrote us something like "and now, dear Readers, try to write a short story about a man beaten by his wife..."?
I've done more than this. I wrote a novel, called Orchidea, in which a writer is beaten almost to death by his wife... you know how it ends, in the kitchen as you suggested in On writing ;-)
I dedicated my novel to you, in the Thanks Section, with the line: "Thank you, Stephen King: without you Orchidea couldn't exist".
This occasion in the first I have to thank you directly.
Thank you, Steve. I'm proud to be one of your Readers.
One day in the future your novels will be studied at school.
I think this could be the best wish a writer can have.
Bye from Rome, Italy.
Alex"
