ICON TALENTS IV – LITERATURE
Daniela Serrano Garcia. writer. Murcia
There are times when you are hopelessly surprised by the abundance of talent. Rarely do you find on your way such a young person with a personality so developed that it floods the room where he is. No, I am not exaggerating at all, despite my maturity I may not be able to define it as it really deserves, but I have the joy of being one of the people who first had his books in my hands and of course I read them, remaining totally infatuated
Our little writer studies at the “Micaela Sanz Verde” school in Archena. In this center, her classmates and teachers know her literary facet, following her evolution from close to her. They usually read her books in her original manuscript, for this Daniela places a sheet of paper at the door of the class where interested people are written down, then she hands them the work according to the order previously established. Perhaps the beginning of this great latent vocation in her person could have been triggered a few years ago when she entered the first contest created by her at school for Book Day, obtaining the first prize.
Daniela is expressive, witty, kind, educated and intelligent, but above all she is a writer, a writer who is only nine years old. Her commitment is such that she defines writing with a single word, passion. This obvious potential is always assisted by reading, which she has undoubtedly learned so early on. Her talent comes immersed in her own nature as part of herself, because she understands without any problem the dynamics of the writer’s work, because as a tireless reader she has learned in a self-taught way to find references to look at and because she is not afraid of words and finds the way that they are part of your day to day.
His spontaneous and beautiful way of expressing himself makes the reader immerse himself in the story, giving value to his tenacity to resolve the complex moments that arise even for an adult writer. His security in his narrative warns us without caution of the absolute clarity of concepts and words that play in his mind, properly used in his texts with admirable mastery. His books have everything you need so that reading seduces you and does not allow you to give up, intrigue, character play, maintains the emotion from one chapter to the next, illustrations that help you visualize the scene, etc.
She recognizes that her inspiration is her sister, the best ideas to write to her come from her, her games, her words, her drawings, her presence. He arrives without preamble to this conclusion that he likes to share with others talking about it, a very beautiful and rare act for a person his age where you can appreciate his enormous sensitivity and humanity. On other occasions, ideas spring up in a chain and appear unexpectedly in different lapses, so if they are useful ideas (as she herself explains) she has to write them down or tell them to her little sister Olivia so that she can remind her of them, or if, on the contrary, they disappear inspiration and is abandoned by her muses take advantage of that time to read. She likes to read so much that when she anticipates that she won’t have time during the day she gets up early to do it before going to school. The books that she has read so far among many others are those of J. k. Rowling and Stilton, but she does not like to discard anything of hers, increasing her references as the days go by and thus increasing the number of works read.
She is very strict with her writings and does not like anyone to correct them without her approval, but her parents are the first to intervene in it only at the spelling level, always agreeing with her on the corrections; In the same way, she is interested in respecting the illustrations that accompany her stories, because she is sure that they are where they should be. So far she has written eight works, and one in progress. The titles of her books are Mar 1: “The Ghost Cemetery”; “Volcanic eruption”; Mar 2: “The Return of Furst”; “The Secret Book”; Mar 3: “The Mysterious Fisherman”; “Sea Marine”; “Light Against Darkness: The Natural Chronicles”; Mar 4: “The Mirror of Evil.” All of them full of imagination, dialogues and illustrations, which are not lacking in epilogues and acknowledgments.
I could not finish this interview without highlighting the work of the parents, of her family in the evolution and development of Daniela. She has been educated in the love of nature, the environment, animals, the cordiality between sisters, and this is reflected in her innocent and pure writings. When you ask her about her hobbies besides reading, she answers with a smile on her face that she likes to play with her sister and her dog Baloo, bathe in the sea and draw.
I had never interviewed such a young girl and I have to say that Daniela has stolen my heart. I am excited for her to participate in the IV Edition of Icon Talents. Welcome.
