Miner writes book backwards and breaks record

Patrocínio miner Wilson Mello set the fastest Brazilian record for writing a book from the last chapter to the first, presenting the work 'Interior War' in 1 hour and 6 minutes. The challenge took place on March 31, 2015 and was online supervised by RankBrasil, which submitted the title, characters and themes, and timed the time.

First the writer received the last chapter. When he forwarded the corresponding file over the internet, he got the third-party subject and so on. According to the record holder, it was not difficult to imagine the end and then produce the literary text. “In my view, making the story from the last chapter is much simpler than by the conventional method, ” he says.

According to the author, writing is a methodical process, which requires time for improvement, knowledge and, in his case, the development of techniques: “All my more than 200 published books were mentally done backwards, before I didn't even start the first line. ”

Wilson Mello is still a journalist, Portuguese and language teacher, editor, professional editor and screenwriter. He has also lectured for 15 years on the themes 'Human Overcoming' and 'How to Raise Student Interest in Studies', as well as 'How to Write a 100-Page Book in 3 Hours' - a workshop for beginning and professional authors.

Books written in less time

He presented five works of fiction in 5 hours and 36 minutes. RankBrasil followed the challenge online, defining the themes and counting the time.

According to Wilson Mello, it was an amazing experience. “Writing with the timer on is something I had not done before. I was very pleased when I was able to achieve the proposed goal in such a short period of time, ”he says.

Although the themes have been elaborated by other people, the record holder believes that for the real writer, this is not a problem. Regarding the pressure due to time, according to him, the professional must be prepared for all kinds of situations. “I don't usually see difficulties in things. I like to be challenged, ”he reveals.

The works written in this record are part of the second volume of the saga 'War of the Archangels', which should contain 5, 500 pages and surpass the Brazilian brand itself. The giant book is expected to be completed in July this year.

Five times record holder
