Ka\u017ed\u00e1 poriadna kniha potrebuje ist\u00fd v\u00fdskum. Nez\u00e1le\u017e\u00ed na tom, \u010di p\u00ed\u0161ete historick\u00fd k\u00fasok alebo nie\u010do z modernej doby. Je mo\u017en\u00e9, \u017ee budete potrebova\u0165 re\u00e1lne n\u00e1zvy ul\u00edc, alebo sa budete musie\u0165 obozn\u00e1mi\u0165 so z\u00e1konmi, ktor\u00e9 sa l\u00ed\u0161ia z krajiny na krajinu, \u010di dokonca s n\u00e1bo\u017eensk\u00fdmi zvykmi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ke\u010f som za\u010dal p\u00edsa\u0165 \"Moment pred smr\u0165ou,\" uvedomil som si, \u017ee m\u00e1m pred sebou poriadny kus pr\u00e1ce. Dej knihy sa odohr\u00e1va v roku 1920 - 68 rokov pred t\u00fdm, ako som sa narodil. Samozrejme som nemal tu\u0161enie o tom, ak\u00fd bol \u017eivot v tej dobe. Uva\u017eoval som aj o zmene obdobia, no dvadsiate roky bola zlat\u00e1 \u00e9ra mafie. Nemal som na v\u00fdber a musel som si splni\u0165 dom\u00e1cu \u00falohu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ako prv\u00e9 som si pr\u00e1cu u\u013eah\u010dil t\u00fdm, \u017ee som dej zasadil do fikt\u00edvneho mesta, Ruby Landing. Najprv som chcel pou\u017ei\u0165 n\u00e1zov Ruby Falls, no m\u00f4j editor ma spr\u00e1vne upozornil, \u017ee miesto s t\u00fdmto n\u00e1zvom u\u017e existuje. Je to vodop\u00e1d v Tennessee, ktor\u00fd nem\u00e1 s moj\u00edm \"mestom podobn\u00fdm New Yorku\" ni\u010d spolo\u010dn\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Takto som nebol viazan\u00fd re\u00e1lnymi n\u00e1zvami ul\u00edc. Dokonca som nemusel robi\u0165 \u017eiadny geografick\u00fd v\u00fdskum. Ke\u010f som potreboval pr\u00edstav, vytvoril som si ho. Ke\u010f bolo treba v\u00e4zenie, bolo tam. St\u00e1le tam v\u0161ak bol jeden probl\u00e9m. \u010casov\u00e9 obdobie. Str\u00e1vil som ve\u013ek\u00e9 mno\u017estvo \u010dasu pred po\u010d\u00edta\u010dom, zis\u0165uj\u00fac ak\u00e9 oble\u010denie vtedy \u013eudia nosili, ak\u00e1 bola v\u00fd\u0161ka n\u00e1jmu, cena jedla \u010di cigariet... Mysl\u00edm, \u017ee si to viete predstavi\u0165. Dokonca som si k\u00fapil n\u00e1u\u010dn\u00fa knihu o \u017eivote v dvadsiatych rokoch minul\u00e9ho storo\u010dia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musel som si takisto na\u0161tudova\u0165 ur\u010dit\u00e9 ritu\u00e1ly a praktiky mafie. Internet s\u00edce pomohol, no nesta\u010dil. Musel som teda pre\u010d\u00edta\u0165 \u010fal\u0161ie knihy. Toto u\u017e bolo menej bolestiv\u00e9, ke\u010f\u017ee som mnoh\u00e9 mal vo svojej kni\u017enici u\u017e d\u00e1vno. Mafia ma v\u017edy zauj\u00edmala a teraz som si potreboval na\u0161tudova\u0165 ako prebieha tzv. inicia\u010dn\u00fd obrad - ritu\u00e1l, ktor\u00fdm mafia prij\u00edma nov\u00fdch \u010dlenov do \"rodiny.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Po skon\u010den\u00ed v\u00fdskumu nastal \u010das za\u010da\u0165 p\u00edsa\u0165. \u010eal\u0161\u00edm krokom bolo vytvorenie osnovy. Existuje mnoho autorov, ktor\u00ed pr\u00edbeh vytv\u00e1raj\u00fa po\u010das p\u00edsania, no ja r\u00e1d viem kam smerujem. V\u017edy som mal kreat\u00edvnu myse\u013e, tak\u017ee si tento proces v\u017edy ve\u013emi u\u017e\u00edvam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

U\u017e som spom\u00ednal, \u017ee mi p\u00edsanie trvalo takmer osem rokov. Veru, m\u00f4j rozsah pozornosti zvykol by\u0165 men\u0161\u00ed ako je dnes. Jedn\u00e9ho d\u0148a sa znenazdajky objavil ur\u010dit\u00fd druh v\u00edrusu a \u010dasom sa zmenil na pand\u00e9miu. V\u00e4\u010d\u0161ina zemegule, vr\u00e1tane m\u0148a, musela zosta\u0165 doma, a to mi pomohol moju knihu kone\u010dne dokon\u010di\u0165.\n\u010clovek by si myslel, \u017ee to bol posledn\u00fd krok, no realita je in\u00e1. Kniha putovala na obsahov\u00fa korekt\u00fatu a vr\u00e1tila sa mi omnoho viac \u010derven\u00e1, ne\u017e som d\u00fafal. Hlavn\u00fd probl\u00e9m bola gramatika (anglick\u00fd jazyk), no editor objavil aj zop\u00e1r dier v deji, ktor\u00e9 som si ja nev\u0161imol. Poradil mi aj ktor\u00e9 veci funguj\u00fa a ktor\u00e9 nie. Opravovanie dejov\u00fdch dier bolo bolestiv\u00e9, no st\u00e1lo to za to. Kniha je teraz ove\u013ea viac konzistentn\u00e1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasledovala jazykov\u00e1 korekt\u00fara a posledn\u00e9 beta \u010d\u00edtanie a po nieko\u013ek\u00fdch t\u00fd\u017ed\u0148och pln\u00fdch krvi, potu a s\u013az, bola kniha hotov\u00e1. Mnoho vec\u00ed sa zmenilo.\nNapr\u00edklad men\u00e1 niektor\u00fdch post\u00e1v, vr\u00e1tane tej hlavnej. N\u00e1zov mesta sa zmenil tie\u017e. V\u017edy som vedel ako sa pr\u00edbeh skon\u010d\u00ed, no cesta ku koncu sa menila takisto. Bola to z\u00e1bava, bolo to \u0165a\u017ek\u00e9 a pam\u00e4t\u00e1m sa ako som si prial, aby to u\u017e kone\u010dne bolo hotov\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teraz je po v\u0161etkom a ja si uvedomujem, \u017ee mi to ch\u00fdba. Bola to moja rutina. \u010cas\u0165 m\u00f4jho d\u0148a. Tak \u010do teraz? Po\u010fme na \u010fal\u0161iu!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
