Writing the new book

by Paulo Coelho on February 4, 2012

the video takes 20 sec to load AND does not play in Apple devices (not my fault!)

Of course this may be very boring to watch. But I decided to record 20 minutes of me writing my new book. The feed was transmitted live on Twitter

Admin Note : You can also watch it at http://twitcam.livestream.com/8hiix

FELICITACIONES Y SIGA ADELANTE , NO DESMAYE UD ES UNA PERSONA ILUMINADA POR DIOS NO SE IMAGINA LA INMENSA FELICIDAD QUE PUEDE DARNOS O CREARNOS LEYENDO SUS LIBROS QUE SON EN REALIDAD DE APOYO DE CRECIMIENTO ESPIRITUAL DE FUERZA Y MAS QUE NADA DE FE MUCHA FE PORQUE HAY QUE CREER Y AMAR PARA PODER SER FELICES

Wonderful to see an author in a process of writing a book. Thank you for sharing it with us. I imagine of course it will be published in portugese first.
God Bless You

Amei saber que está escrevendo outro livro !!! Não vejo a hora de saber qual livro será, já li praticamente todos os seus livros.
Amei também ler a sua biografia “O Mago”. Muitos beijos, sucesso e sorte de quem puder te encontrar, e de quem puder te ver tão de perto.

Loved how all the elements were brought up into their senses in total silence – in a serene and meditative state according to the rythme of the heart,
Magnifique!
Thank you

Que bien¡¡¡ un nuevo libro en camino, se puede comprar ya???

No puedo ver los vídeos por que se me va el giga tengo contratado, por eso a veces no comento ciertas cosas, en cualquier caso, estoy deseando que salga a la luz, entre tanto he descubierto los comics de J. Michael Straczynski, apoteosicos, se los recomiendo a todo el mundo, especialmente la colección que hizo con spiderman, el la colección que estoy haciendo el primer tomo se llama “Vuelta a casa” creo que lo compre por el título, porque me recordaba al momento de mi vida por el que estoy pasando, y la verdad es que era lo que esperaba, incluso mejor, el tomo en que vuelve con su novia “Hasta que las estrellas se congeles” es sublime, le di un abrazo cuando lo termine. Cada uno en su genero para mi sois los más grandes, al menos de lo que conozco, creo que habéis compartido un camino similar, y vuestros textos tienen algo que llegan al alma. Por favor, sigue escribiendo, no pares, que estamos esperando, llegas a muchos corazones y cambias la vida de mucha gente para bien, pocos pueden decir eso, gracias por todo lo que nos has dado.

Un saludo, no pares…

You need to film your whole time writing the book so you can show others every little detail to inspire them that it is not a grand battle, but a grand adventure. That would change at least 200 people trying to write books lives.

Paulo que buena idea, comer caramelos en ves de distraerme con los cigarrillos, veré si puedo implementarlo.
Gracias por compartir, usted realmente hace buen uso de la tecnología y siempre en función de ayudar a los demás.
Dios lo bendiga.

Hi Paulo, I watching it now on Apple. It doesn’t work on Safari but if one uses firefox it works perfectly! So Apple fans , enjoy it!

Merci Mr Coehlo, cette vidéo (que je n’ai pu voir que sur Twitter, le Mac et mon PC refusant de la lire !) , cette tranche de vie que vous partagez avec nous, est complétement fascinante. Nous imaginons bien le processus de création qui donne vie à vos livres. Mais le voir devant nos yeux, est une dimension supplémentaire. Je suis frappée par le grand calme qui se dégage de vous, et on peut sentir le bouillonnement d’idées qui vous habite et se transmet à vos mains, avec un automatisme né d’une grande pratique. Le clavier est un prolongement de votre esprit et il en sortira de nouveau pour nous, vos lecteurs, une nouvelle promesse de plaisir absolu. La langue que vous utilisez est mystérieuse , protugais, anglais.. Mais quelle qu’elle soit, elle sera porteuse de la magie et de l’inspiration qui nous enchante. Nous attendrons ce nouveau chef-d’oeuvre, pleins d’espoir et de patience, l’attente du plaisir pouvant parfois être aussi agréable que le plaisir lui-même. Merci de ce partage tellement intime, et bon dimanche à vous. MCG

Thank you Mr Coelho, this video (which I could see only on Twitter, on my PC and Mac refused to read it!), This slice of life that you share with us is completely fascinating. We imagine the process of creation that gives life to your books. But seeing before our eyes, is an added dimension. I am struck by the calm that emanates from you, and you can feel the ferment of ideas which you live and is transmitted to your hands, with a control born of a great practice. The keyboard is an extension of your mind and come out of it new to us, your readers, a new promise of absolute pleasure. The language you use is mysterious, Portugues, English .. But whatever it is, it will be the bearer of magic and inspiration that delights us. We will wait the new masterpiece, full of hope and patience, waiting for the pleasure that can sometimes be as pleasurable as the pleasure itself. Thank you for sharing this so intimate, and good Sunday to you. MCG

Senhor Paulo: Hace algun tiempo que sigo su blog y le cofieso que se ha convertido en mi cafe de amanha, por alguna razon me he hecho adicta de todo lo que escribes,yo conocia algo de su trabajo de antes, en el pais donde naci no tenia mucho acceso a sus libros pero en los ultimos meses he hecho una recorrido por algunos paises de Latinoamerica y de una forma u otra siempre donde he estado hay un libro suyo cerca de mi y siempre leo algo, no los he leido todos, pero sus palabras han sido alentadoras y sumamente sabias en momentos en los que me encontraba perdida, le confieso que aun no se ha disipado la neblina que me rodea, pero cada vez que leo algo escrito por ud me siento de una forma u otra mas fuerte. Tengo muchos deseos de leer Aleph, en algun momento lo hare, soy aidcta a la lectura, no me gusta que pase un dia en el que no lea algun documento, historia, noticia, confieso que mayormente literatura de medicina pues estoy en un regimen de estudio fuerte, pero lo que si no me puede faltar en las manhanas es su blog. No soy su mayor fan, no conozco todo de ud, ni me considero una experta conociendo sus libros, ni siquiera entiendo mucho de este mundo espiritual y magico del que siempre habla, pero creo en la magia, siento que tiene que haber algo mas. Bueno mi querido Pablo, no tengo idea si tendras tiempo de leer todo lo que comentan las personas aca, no se si mis palabras lleguen a ti en algun momento, es muy bueno que existan personas como tu,suerte con todos tus libros, se que siempre seran un suceso, un abrazo, Jane

Que Dios ilumine su mente para seguir ayudandonos con su nuevo libro. Saludos.

Uma maravilha poder ver o Paulo a escrever.
Arrepia ver a energia presente em si: a invisível e a transmitida de forma visível.
Muito obrigada pela partilha de gloriosos momentos de escrita divina.

Oi Paulo, tudo bem?
Mais um podcast instrutivo, ne? Obrigada por estar ai diariamente colaborando para nosso crescimento. Fiquei curiosa sobre vocÊ sempre usar preto e isso me chamou atenção porque vocÊ disse que no próximo podcast vai falar sobre troca de energia. Me interessa muito o assunto porque sou como uma esponja e preciso muito aprender a trocar e não só doar. MAs em relação ao preto, o que me despertou é que a cor que absorve ne. VocÊ não acredita na interferencia dessa coisa das cores das roupas e do ambiente etc?

Meer February 4, 2012 at 10:27 pm

Paulo didn’t you normally disconnect yourself from the digital world while writing?

Daniela Zurita February 4, 2012 at 10:07 pm

I can’t see the video :( I don’t think it’s mac compatible…

Miriam February 4, 2012 at 9:02 pm

Your videocast on writing a new book does not appear; I see only your videocast on immortality

Haiku February 4, 2012 at 8:51 pm

Knowing you are writing a new novel is like sitting and waiting for the sun to rise…. you anticipate the beauty, the moment knowing it will be unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before. CAN’T WAIT! PLEASE COME TO THE U.S. with next book.

Svenja February 4, 2012 at 7:44 pm

Genevieve Ross February 4, 2012 at 6:53 pm

Yes, I admit, somewhat bored after five minutes of watching and scrolled ahead looking for a ghoulish image to jump out at me (as I’ve seen on other sedate videos.) Shame on me, instead of marvelling at the wonder of modern technology and being able to, through a click of the mouse, immerse myself in the simple pleasure of watching you create in your private workspace… I was looking to be entertained.

Iris Dahle February 4, 2012 at 5:25 pm

Thank you for inspiring me to follow my dreams. I like your crazy idea :)
This weekend I felt I needed to go away to get some inspiration. So bought a ticket on friday and now I am in Prague and loving it. Love

macy February 4, 2012 at 2:33 pm

Pandora February 4, 2012 at 2:24 pm

You look like you are creating a beautiful melody, gently touching each key as if each plays a note of its own that only you can hear. I am certain the world will listen avidly and applaud in immense gratitude upon its release.

Very exciting, to see. Thank you.

Kept me in the moment,.
Thanks for the lesson,

The Writer
The writer understands his emotion thru his characters n I feel god does the same thru us. A book is not a simple document , it is a world of people in which characters breathe, walk, discuss, go thru pain and agony, they feel anger, they cry and repent as well. Writting is creating a new world where one(writer) feels like god n it is fun but he always understands tht playing god is the most difficult task to perform. from the “arunaksarun. blogspot.com “……
