Never, ever, read this book. Here's a fun fact: we don't have required reading in Norway (at least we didn't in the 90's where I grew up).

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 →

NaNoWriMo Update & Doing New Things!
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...

My Monthly Writing Schedule
One of the best places to be a writer is Twitter. No joke. I love it not only to find cool books, meet new people, and talk about the books we love, but also because it's a great place to brainstorm with like-minded people. One thing we talked about a little while ago was working... Continue Reading →
