It's been an awesome - but tiring - trip. I could spend days recalling all the amazing experiences I had but it would simply take too much time. I'll post some highlighting photos here to quickly recapture my trip from Copenhagen to New York to San Francisco to Santa Barbara, via Big Sur, to Las Vegas … Continue reading Back from America!
After some hectic days I am now lying in a hotel room in New York. The AC fan whimpers loudly and the neighbor's chat with some invisible friend liven up the slumbering street. It is late at night and I am tired. There is much to do and see. I will keep you up to … Continue reading I’m in America
How time flies. For the past week I've been working on a short story and hoped to have time to write another afterwards before I go to America. Well - no. Time flies, as they say, and when I finished the short story I not only realized I hadn't written anything here in nearly a … Continue reading Time Passes
When I worked on Project 1 yesterday I reached 100 000 words and thought "I am nowhere near done!" I had over 20 000 words left to rewrite and that still only accounted for half the novel. But publishing a YA novel with over 200k words is impossible for someone like me. Then, while pondering, … Continue reading Project 1 finished!
You might ask yourself what's going on here and why I don't publish more than one poem a week (as compared to one a day as I used to). It's quite simple. I'm going to America in a month and I need the first draft of Project 1 to be finished until then which means … Continue reading Quick update!
I was going to write a poem today. I was also going to read through some other blogs and leave a few comments. Instead I spent the whole day cleaning my apartment and now I just can't come up with anything to write. Tomorrow, however, I'll do all of the above! So for those of … Continue reading Today I cleaned. Tomorrow I’ll write.
Inspiration is a wondrous thing. It can be a picture, a sentence, a thought - and all of a sudden you sit by your computer again, working hard to finish your manuscript after hours of writer's block. This happened a week ago. I was revising Project 1 when I just couldn't rewrite anything any more. I opened … Continue reading Inspiration: A Poem for Byzantium
I was happily surprised today when my copy of Diablo III collector's edition arrived 4 days early! So I snapped some pictures. Enjoy!
Today I rewrote over 40 pages... I hope you can see why I haven't been able to come up with a lot of stuff to post here. It feels like a squid resides in my skull. But as least I'm working diligently! - F H Hakansson
In two hours I will receive the last phone call from my beta readers with feedback on Project 2. I will then proceed to edit the text once more before sending it to my tutor (when he becomes available. He's in the USA at the moment). I also resumed Project 1! This is very exciting … Continue reading Project 1 & 2 update
