Discutie cu Oana Stoica-Mujea
|Stiti ca imi plac romanele politiste. Si literatura fantasy. Imi place sa citesc – ar fi mai cuprinzator spus.
Ei bine, dupa ce chiar in concediul din Viena am terminat romanul Indicii anatomice scris de Oana Stoica-Mujea iata ca am astazi si ocazia de a va invita sa cititi un mic interviu cu ea. Sper sa va placa – eu va recomand si cartile sale si de asemenea si blogul ei.
1 Am aflat ca ai o diploma in inginerie si ca, la un moment dat, ai fost chiar inginer electronist si administrator de retea. Nu pot asadar sa nu intreb cum te-ai simtit in tipologia mentala clasica a sysadminilor “noi vs. ei” (admini vs. utilizatori)?
Nu cred că am intrat niciodată în această tipologie, ţinând cont că nu mi-am făcut meseria cu plăcere. Asta e, trebuia să o spun.
2 Si cine sunt mai “rai”: cititorii sau userii? Sau sysadminii? :))
Cititorii nu pot fi răi, ei doar se raportează la propriile valori. Cu userii e altă treabă, din păcate majoritatea vor fără să ştie de fapt ce. Aşa că nu e neapărat vorba de răutate, ci de multă prostie – aici vorbesc despre useri, şi n-am de gând să mă dezic. Patru ani am lucrat cu astfel de oameni, mă mir şi eu că nu i-am ucis pe toţi 😀
3 Ai inceput cu fantasy (Razboiul reginelor in doua volume) si ati continuat cu “Indicii anatomice” – roman politist. De unde schimbul de “ramura”?
Nu e o schimbare propriu-zisă. Niciodată nu am scris doar fantasy, chiar dacă eu am ţinut neapărat să le public pe acestea. Am mai scris thrillere şi înainte, ba chiar şi alte genuri, doar că nu ştiu exact unde s-ar încadra. Să zicem că am mai scris ceva între horror şi romance.
4 De pe blogul tau am aflat ca lucrezi la un nou roman politist. Ne poti spune ceva despre acesta?
Da. Iolanda Ştireanu se întoarce. Va fi tot între personaje reale, de data asta foarte mulţi bloggeri. Va trebui să rezolve o crimă a la Poirot, fără a se folosi de tehnologie şi informaţii. De fapt e un pariu cu mine, şi ultima carte în care Iolanda va fi alături de personaje reale. Asta dacă nu îi punem la socoteală pe Bogdan Hrib şi Crina Dunca care or să mai apară, chiar dacă numai prin intermediul unui telefon.
Am vrut să-mi reunesc cei mai importanţi prieteni din bloggosferă şi să-i fac să se ucidă între ei 😀 Să nu zică ei că nu îi iubesc.
5 Sunt sigura ca toata lumea va intreaba de unde a pornit “Indicii anatomice”. Sunt si eu curioasa sa aflu cum de ti-a venit ideea de a-l transforma pe Bogdan Hrib (directorul Editurii Tritonic) in personaj de roman?
Normal că am vrut să mă distrez pe seama lui Bogdan, iar el a acceptat. Noi tot timpul ne-am şicanat. În felul ăsta pot spune că m-am răzbunat, desigur, la un mod frumos.
Iar ideea Indiciilor mi-a venit la Satu Mare în timp ce lansam “Războiul reginelor”. Cred că atunci l-am ameninţat pe Bogdan că o să-l chinui într-un roman dacă nu îmi îndeplineşte nu ştiu ce dorinţă. Iar cea mai bună prietenă a mea nu putea lipsi, mai ales că ea e din Satu Mare.
6 Cat a contat introducerea unor nume cunoscute in promovarea romanului (eu stiu mai multe persoane care dupa ce au citit recenzia cartii de pe PRwave – au cumparat romanul)
Nu ştiu cât a contat pentru vânzare, nu m-am gândit la asta niciodată. Dar cu siguranţă a contat pentru mine, pentru că m-am distrat copios scriind despre aceşti oameni în timp ce ei fierbeau pentru că nu aveau idee ce voi spune. A fost cel mai amuzant roman pe care l-am scris tocmai din acest motiv, pentru că eu m-am distrat de minune punând fiecare idee pe hârtie.
7 Si intrucat lucrez in PR nu pot sa nu intreb: ce mijloc de promovare a cartilor s-a dovedit in timp cel mai eficient? Ce activitati sunt intreprinse pentru promovarea cartilor tale?
La promovare eu mă pricep mai puţin. De obicei Andreea Manea se ocupă de asta, şi cred eu că o face bine. Dar nu o întreb cum, pentru că nu aş avea răbdare să-mi explice. Desigur, eu mă folosesc de mediul virtual atât cât am chef, pentru că trebuie să spun că am o lene teribilă în a mă promova singură. Şi mai sunt şi prietenii mei, în special Crina Dunca şi Ioan Usca care mă promovează cât pot prin acelaşi canal virtual.
8 Ce ti-ai propus sa mai faci in viitor?
Dacă aş înşira acum câte proiecte am, Bogdan o să fugă din ţară şi o să-mi desfacă contractele, toate. Aşa că nu mai zic nimic, ca să nu se sperie.
9 Cand ai timp liber, ce iti place sa faci? Unde preferi sa mergi? Exista un loc anume drag inimii tale?
Nu sunt genul de persoană care se îndrăgosteşte de un loc anume. Nu fac lucruri ieşite din comun, probabil citesc sau mă mai uit la câte un film dacă mi se pare mie că e ceva de capul lui. Uneori mă duc la ţară la bunica mea. Iar de cele mai multe ori îmi rezerv un weekend afară din ţară. Am o obsesie şi vreau să văd toate capitalele lumii, apoi o să vreau să văd toate satele lumii, probabil.
10 Acum esti scriitor 100% sau este o ocupatie de timp liber? (din prezentarea ta de pe blog rezulta ca iti doresti sa fii doar scriitor si nu altceva)
Sunt scriitor 100%, dar am şi joburi part time, normal, în timpul liber. Adică e exact pe invers.
11 Ce iti place in mod deosebit la scris: imaginarea cartii, scrierea ei, intalnirea cu cititorii…?
Toate aceste trei procese au frumuseţea lor. Imaginarea cărţii e cea mai frumoasă, pentru că atunci când te apuci propriu-zis de scris, prea puţin din ce ţi-ai imaginat mai rămâne. Iar întâlnirile cu cititorii sunt de-a dreptul fabuloase. Întâlneşti tot felul de oameni care te marchează. Nu m-am gândit niciodată că o să aştept să mă întâlnesc cu oamenii ţinând cont că nu sunt neapărat o fire comunicativă.
12 E loc de vreun sfat pentru cei carora de asemenea le place sa scrie?
De obicei sfaturile nu sunt bune, pentru că fiecare e în alt fel. E greu să închipui sfatul care să-i includă pe toţi. Dar de un lucru sunt sigură: dacă un om scrie cu plăcere, cu dăruire şi crede în ceea ce face, încet, încet or să înceapă şi ceilalţi să creadă în el.
I simply want to say I’m newbie to weblog and certainly liked you’re web page. Most likely I’m want to bookmark your site . You surely come with really good articles. Appreciate it for sharing with us your web page.
I have to express my appreciation to the writer just for rescuing me from this type of crisis. Because of researching throughout the world-wide-web and seeing proposals which were not beneficial, I figured my life was well over. Existing devoid of the strategies to the difficulties you have fixed by way of this short article is a critical case, as well as the kind that could have badly damaged my career if I had not discovered your web blog. Your primary knowledge and kindness in controlling all the stuff was tremendous. I’m not sure what I would’ve done if I hadn’t encountered such a subject like this. I can also at this moment look ahead to my future. Thanks a lot so much for the reliable and sensible guide. I will not hesitate to refer your web page to anybody who will need guide on this problem.

I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
Hello there! I just would like to give you a big thumbs up for your excellent info you have here on this post. I will be coming back to your blog for more soon.
May I just say what a relief to uncover someone who truly understands what they’re discussing on the net. You actually know how to bring a problem to light and make it important. A lot more people need to look at this and understand this side of your story. I was surprised you’re not more popular since you most certainly possess the gift.
Oh my goodness! Awesome article dude!
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
I’m more than happy to find this page. I need to to thank you for ones time for this wonderful read!! I definitely loved every little bit of it and I have you saved to fav to see new stuff in your web site.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

Aw, this was an exceptionally nice post. Spending some time and actual effort to produce a great article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a lot and never manage to get anything done.

After I initially left a comment I appear to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now every time a comment is added I receive 4 emails with the same comment. Perhaps there is a means you can remove me from that service? Thanks a lot!

I’m very happy to find this web site. I wanted to thank you for ones time for this particularly fantastic read!! I definitely enjoyed every bit of it and I have you book marked to see new stuff on your blog.
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.

Aw, this was a very nice post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to generate a superb article… but what can I say… I hesitate a whole lot and don’t manage to get nearly anything done.
You are so awesome! I don’t suppose I have read through anything like this before. So nice to find somebody with unique thoughts on this issue. Really.. thank you for starting this up. This web site is something that’s needed on the internet, someone with a little originality!
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
Spot on with this write-up, I honestly think this web site needs much more attention. I’ll probably be back again to read more, thanks for the information!
