Dmitry Kazakov is a modern science fiction writer. The writer's opinion about literary creativity

Dmitry Kazakov is a representative of contemporary Russian science fiction writers. His first books were published at the beginning of the two thousandth, although they were created long before that. This article is dedicated to the writer's personality and his views on literary creativity in general.

Start of writing

In 1999, Dmitry Kazakov received a diploma of higher education. After graduation, he got a job in a small office. It is noteworthy that this period in the biography of the writer is only that it was within the walls of the institution in which Dmitri was to work that he became acquainted with the Internet. The global network in those years was small and not as informative as it is today. But this was enough to find like-minded people and fellow-interests. And above all the future writer was interested in fantastic prose.

The creative path of Dmitry Kazakov began with writing small stories, which he spread on the web. On the site, where mostly fans of science fiction, he read works of the same as he, amateur writers and published his creations. When a writer's gift is born in man, the creation of literary works for him becomes a means of self-expression. Dmitry Kazakov did not even think about publishing his stories. It was extremely important for him to write and communicate on a favorite topic with people who share his interests.

"I'm a magician!"

The first part of the trilogy was created as a separate independent work. The author did not plan to write a sequel to it. The original work was given a completely completed full-length plot of the Cossacks. Dmitry, all of whose books are a model of fantastic modern prose, is known primarily as the author of the popular trilogy. After reading it from the reader, one gets the impression that the idea of the author was originally the writing of a book with a sequel. In fact, Dmitry extended the plot gradually. In each subsequent novel, new actors appeared, their appearance generated events, and, ultimately, a trilogy was created, so known today to fans of fiction.

How is the plot born?

Dmitry believes that it is not difficult to think of it. It is much more difficult to transfer to paper and give it a full-fledged artistic work. All the books of Dmitry Kazakov are different. Some he began to write when the storyline was only outlined. Sometimes the fate of the heroes and their life's vicissitudes of the author were known even before the writing of the first page. It happened that the storyline behaved quite unpredictably, and it was necessary to change it in the process of creating the book several times. But the road will be mastered by the going. And for Dmitry there are no excessive difficulties in the case to which he gives all his creative potential.

Genres

Preference Dmitry Kazakov gives away fantasy. But he also writes in such genres as fantasy and alternative history. In the work of the writer, there are also some deviations from the literary form characteristic of his work. It's about the novel "The Blood of an Angel", which is created in the genre of erotic fantasy.

Literature and diving

Dmitry is a versatile person. Writing is not the only field in which he can see himself. In the period of creative stagnation, when during the year he had written only a few stories, Kazakov preferred not to remain in anticipation of visiting the long-awaited muse, but to master a new profession. And he became an instructor in diving. An unusual and beautiful world, which is extremely far from simple philistine existence, has always interested Dmitri. He is fascinated by fantasy and does not leave indifferent the underwater element.

Is writing a hobby or a job?

Kazakov considers literary activity as a difficult work. It requires concentration and discipline, like any other work. However, the situation on the modern book market is not easy. Only the most famous and popular authors can survive here. Those who belong to the middle class, live on the income from the publication of books is difficult. For this, it is necessary to issue a huge amount of text every month, which is not physically possible. That's why Dmitry seeks to combine writing with activities that bring more tangible income.

Literary creativity does not give all his time Dmitry Lvovich Kazakov. Books are valued by professionals. He is the owner of several awards of the annual festival of science fiction writers. But a talented person, as you know, is talented in everything. Dmitry is fond of sports, understands cooking, likes to travel. For novice authors who dream of seeing their creations on the shelves of bookstores, he recommends perseverance and perseverance, believing that it is these qualities, along with literary abilities, that are indispensable for achieving writer success.
