Natalia Nemtsova Biography

Natalia Nemtsova: To write for children is a real pleasure Natalia Nemtsova: to write for children - she does not like real pleasure when she is called a writer. Natalia Nemtsova is a screenwriter of radio and television, author of books and performances for children, candidate of pedagogical sciences and many children. Creativity is the environment of her habitat. Natalia, you lead a very rich life.

Work on radio, books, scripts, motherhood, sport, balls, travel. I would like to ask about everything at once, but let's start with the main thing - how do you manage to combine everything? Share a secret. I do not like the phrase - "There is no time." I do not believe in it. Time can be exchanged for anything. This is an almost dimensionless substance. Usually I get up at 6.

If this is not enough, I work from the clock. I like to plan the importance and avoid chronophages - time abductors. Especially when I live in deadline mode. The main thing is that in the list of daily tasks there are not only the necessary things, but also your favorite classes, sports, walks, meetings with friends. I think the present also depends on the future, as the future on what you are doing now.

If there is a goal, the present changes, adapts to the plans planned. Every day we look like a trailer for our tomorrow. Nemtsova Natalia Leonidovna you have three beautiful children. This is a huge joy, but also a tremendous load. Do you delegate a lot? Who helps you? Fortunately, my work allows you to combine creativity and active motherhood. But seriously, it seems to me that we began to love intermediaries and deputies too much.

Postcards with ready -made wishes, bottles with milk mixture, notes in temples instead of personal prayer. We do not sew clothes, do not prepare the dowry, we invite psychologists to talk, codes to take care, nannies to educate. And I believe in the old -fashioned comfortable word “together” and ... in grandmothers! Grandmothers are real angels of freedom, patrons of motherhood.

My children were very lucky, they had just such a grandmother. My mom. You know, there are people like a thunderstorm over the ocean. They amaze, throw bizarre shells ashore, give treasures. And there is - like air. They hug invisibly and inconspicuously, support, delicately step aside, with them so comfortable and naturally that sometimes you do not notice it. But when such people leave, as if oxygen is overlapping, apnea lasts all their lives.

I hope that someday in the future I will come closer to this level of dedication, irreplaceability and selfless love. Encyclopedia in fairy tales What do you first teach your children? It seems to me that the most important thing that I was taught in childhood is respect. Invance, initially, always to everyone. To people, bugs, opinions, tastes, janitor, cleaner.

Respect for me is, first of all, respectful communication with the outside world. This is an opportunity to be yourself in any situation. Do not respond with a blow to a blow or screaming a scream, but do as it is typical for me. Dogs bark, flowers bloom. It is respect that it helps not to give in to rudeness, not to condemn other people's behaviors, not to gossip behind, but to answer only for yourself, for your words and actions.

To act worthy and beautiful. I teach my children to this. When are you writing? Are there any “happy watches” for creativity, time for muse? Muse do not live in the clock. They nest in the air. I do not know what the atmosphere is from. How she sneaks up to you, delves into your past, checks signs, lights beacons. Where she takes those wonderful fishing rods that catch memories, those aromas and colors that completely coincide with your inner melody.

In such moments, you certainly need to write down everything that comes to mind - in the subway, in training, in an airplane. But seriously, I write every day. Mostly in the morning. When I studied at the highest courses of screenwriters and directors, the master of our scenario group Lyudmila Golubkina called work on the script - “directed thinking”. If you mentally constantly return to what you are writing about, at one point the story develops by itself and comes the right words.

How did the idea come to create children's encyclopedias in fairy tales? Why exactly them, what is their feature? Children understand a lot better than us. They have time, boldness and a gift - to solve and understand. Once I arrived with a five -year -old son to my grandmother. He looked at the cross, at the mound for the fence and asked: “Mom, and the cemetery is a treasure from the word?

Therefore, writing for children is a real pleasure. Especially for curious why. And since I have been working in the informative segment of radio and television for many years, Tatyana invited me to write fairy tales on scientific topics. I gladly agreed. Dry knowledge is more difficult to remember than emotionally painted. In my books there is always a story, touching heroes with which children will learn reliable scientific facts.

The series "Encyclopedia in fairy tales" immediately liked the readers. So much so that the circulation is constantly being printed, and the second volume of the cycle has recently been released. Tell us how they are similar and how will they differ?In the new encyclopedia, scientific facts are also told in the form of fairy tales, but the topics will be more diverse, wider.

These are etiquette, safety, inventions, discoveries, culture, ecology, the world of animals and plants. What does it mean to be an author of books for you?

As a child, I often stayed in the village. On the eve of leaving, I certainly threw a letter into the mailbox. I will still go to the carriage, and the postman will already enter the porch and give my grandmother an envelope overtaking the train. She will spin with her hands and delight. I always think about it when I am waiting for the release of a new book. The letter has already been written.

Time will pass, someone will open the pages smelling of fresh snow and smile, or load, or find out something important for himself. In these simple rituals, in the complicity of readers there is always some kind of secret conspiracy, a secret under the glass. This is the meaning of book descriptions.
