Natalia Zhiltsova about herself
Talking about her many hobbies, Natalia highlights two of them: the creation of Internet sites and computer games. However, she almost never has enough time for everything - especially after the birth of her daughter. Family and book writing takes a lot of energy.
Zhiltsova admits that she is a little disappointed in psychological science. Entering the university, Natalya assumed that she would deal with the secrets of human abilities. As a result, it turned out that it was necessary to study the causes of disorders in the psyche and methods of correcting behavioral defects.
Natalia still considers literary work to be one of her hobbies. Many believe that the age of paper literature is a thing of the past, but Natalia likes such publications. She loves the rustling of pages and beautiful illustrations in books. Writing, Natalya regrets, cannot feed an ordinary author in Russia today. For a decent income, you need to publish new works almost every month. However, Zhiltsova does not despair. She is always looking for ideas for her new works.
