Composing letters from words, and stories from words is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. Victoria Platova succeeds. The main thing is that she has “her” reader.
Starting conditions
He who reads a lot knows a lot. Victoria Platova learned to read early. The girl was born on January 11, 1965 in an ordinary Soviet family. It is important to note that there were many books in the house, good and different. Parents at that time lived in the famous city of Nikolaev. The child grew up in a friendly atmosphere. Vika from young nails was accustomed to accuracy and work. She got used to helping her mother around the house early. Independently maintained cleanliness and order. She knew how to wash floors and wash.
At school, Victoria studied well. Her favorite subjects were Russian language and literature. She wrote essays easily and stylistically correctly. I was interested in history and geography. Actively participated in public life. She knew how to find a common language with classmates. I watched how peers live, what they dream about and what goals they set for themselves in the future. When it came time to choose a profession, Victoria went to Moscow and entered the screenwriting department of VGIK. This decision did not surprise relatives and friends.
Path to the profession
Having received a specialized education, Victoria tried to find a job in her specialty. It is important to recall that by that time, in the beginning of the 90s, chaos and complete confusion reigned in the country. Those scenarios and projects that a diligent student prepared in advance turned out to be completely unclaimed. The directors dismissed the little-known girl with her dubious tests. It came to the point that Vika hardly found work in a kiosk where video tapes were sold.
Later, in her biography, the famous writer Victoria Platova noted that one of her friends encouraged her to write detective novels. There is a certain share of coquetry in this recognition. A certified screenwriter, she had long nurtured a similar idea, and to start it took only a small push. The first manuscript sent to the publisher had the title "In the pool". After some time, the writer, exhausted by expectation, received a positive answer. All. There was nowhere to retreat. Victoria sat down at the keyboard.
