Thrilling books and gripping stories, all in one place.
Will I ever write again? My wife and I are currently staying away at a cabin by the sea, somewhere on the Western coast of Norway. It's a family cabin, a place we've spent a lot of time when we were younger, a place we used to call home, and we're so lucky we got... Continue Reading →
What would you do if you lost all your creative powers? My wife - whom I love dearly and wish to spend the rest of my life with - left me yesterday. No, not in an emotional sense; only physically. You see, we live apart for the time being. It's because of this job I... Continue Reading →
It's been three days since my wife left - and I'm just about starting to get comfortable with it again. For those of you who don't know, my wife and I live in different places. Or, well, I live in a different place. For work. She lives back home, (where we both technically live), and... Continue Reading →
A few weeks ago I tweeted about my wife going back home. You see, we live apart (we have for a while) and because of Covid-19 we got to spend a lot of time together because she basically became stranded where I live. Those tweets always gets loads of response, which is really sweet. I... Continue Reading →
At the start of this year, I had a plan. A really good plan, if I get to say so myself. I made a calendar in Excel, mapped out when I'd be doing what, which of my manuscripts needed to be revised, edited, read through, and fixed. I had deadlines plotted in, and I even... Continue Reading →
It's been a while since I've written anything on this blog, and while I have plans for some future posts and reviews, nothing is going as planned because of the Covid-19 outbreak. So I figured I'd write a bit about that first, and then about how my writing is going. If you've paid attention, you... Continue Reading →
First of all: Great book. I haven't read many of these how-to-write books but this is one of my favorites. It's short and to the point, discussing the what, why, how of GMC: Goal, Motivation and Conflict. It's all you need to tell a good story, it's what going to make your characters come alive...

I got to say, I hate the holidays. I always think I'll have more time, to write, to read, to do stuff in general and it never fails to backfire. I should know this by now, but I keep forgetting every year. This time, I feel like it's taken me particularly long to get back... Continue Reading →
We're well into December, I know I'm late, but I wanted to wrap up how I did for NaNoWriMo and what I'm focusing on now that it's all over. First of all, I didn't "win". To win NaNoWriMo, you have to write 50.000 words, which for some reason is a novel to them. Well, I... Continue Reading →
Let's just rip the band-aid off quickly, shall we? I haven't written nearly enough for my NaNoWriMo project this year. Considering it's already the 14th, and I've barely scratched the bottom of 12.000 words, I'm not hopeful about "winning". Last year, I did it all in a week, and though I wasn't planning on doing...
