Double MarloweFour new books for my now close to stall library. Books stacked, buried by other books, hidden, crammed, nestled, zipped. We start with a book that I find very useful for those who love creative writing. This is the Dictionary of personal names by Alfonso Burgio. Online you can take a look at this interesting dictionary. The little that is available online helped me when I wrote the story The Wild Hunt , with which I won the ULAM competition in the Edizioni XII forum. And so I decided to buy it. With the same order on Amazon Italy I got a science fiction book that had been teasing me for a few months, Limit by Frank Schätzing. 1300 pages of novel. I'm always fascinated by such substantial books.
They don't scare me, if I have to tell the truth, even if starting to read them requires a bit of courage. The third and final book in the order was A Winter's Freeze by Daniel Woodrell. Not long ago I saw the film at the Special Data cinema and, knowing that it was based on a novel, I decided to put it on my shopping list. The list concludes with Double Marlowe by Frank Spada, a very welcome gift from the author, complete with a personal dedication. Frank Spada reads well, he has his own style, every scene, every dialogue flows before the eyes as if it were the film of a film. Thank you, Frank, for this unique thought.Convert words to uppercase or lowercase I found this tool very useful when I received articles with titles written in capital letters, which should never be done.
That case I had to lowercase the words and get a decent title. This tool allows you to: convert an entire sentence to lowercase or uppercase (lower case and upper case); convert the first letter of each word to uppercase (capitalized case); transform a sentence written in uppercase or lowercase into a correct sentence, therefore with the first letter of the first word in uppercase (sentence case). Names Do you have no imagination for the names of your characters or do you only think of the names of your friends? Then consult a list of Italian male and female names online and you will find things you have never heard of. For each letter of the alphabet the Nomix site allows you to search for all the names, one column for masculine and another for feminine.
