Aaaah the sweet taste of praise!
Yes indeed, my co-author Kaja read the outcast for a chapter I wrote during the progress of writing the background for my caracter. And she LOVED it!!! Yeeeeey happy, happy feelings are running trough my system right now.
As for the chapter that was not ment to be written till later, it is quite typical of me that my writing ends up in another direction then what was first intended.
The aim was to write down the background for my character, and yes, that is how it began. Only, after about say three pages it sort of drifted into something that started looking more and more like a chapter amongst the discriptions ment only for our eyes... So what I did was to sort the "chapter like text" out from the rest, and voilá two chickens came out of the same egg!
In other words, I ended up with both a decent background description and an outcast for a chapter.
So progress is being made beyond my intent, which of course is an excellent developement. And that Kaja liked and agreed to the content was a nice bonus.
This update to the blog will be a short one, for my brain is starting to fill up with fog... I am tired. Have been at this writing project all day, so I believe I deserv a break for the rest of today.
Hope y'all have had a nice and succesfull day, and will have a good evening as well.
Ciao

Been doing atleast a little writing...
My usual luck has once again shown it self.
Yesterday I was working all day on the novel that me and my good friend Kaija are co-authoring, since the plan was that we meet up today and go throu what we´ve been doing since last wednesday. The plan was to write down some background information on our caracters, she has a female pirate and I have a male one.
So as a result of that I wrote about two pages in word, which today I am glad I did.
However... today the phone rang and my daughters daycare centre called to tell me that she is sick and I have to go pick her up. Wohooo... so I did naturally, then a trip to the doctors at four. After that there has been no possible way for me to do any work, for she has needed me all day. And now... well now I am to darn tired.
So meeting up with my co-author was ofcourse canceld, and the rest of my week is set at taking care of my sick sweetheart. But atleast I managed to do most of my scheduled work yesterday, so I am ahead instead of behind.
Ah well, qué será será...
The most important thing is that my baby girl is taken care of.
It´s not like we have a deadline to meet, we don't have a publishers whip on our backs, so there is really no stress. The only deadline we need to meet is that of our own. And since this will be Kaija's first attempt at writing we will take it easy. Also we both have day jobs and I have a family to care for. So it will be finished in due time, not before.
Besides, I have other writing projects as well that I need to work on.
Especially the one where I have readers from now 26 countries, whom have been waiting for an update to the Legolas (LOTR) story I am writing for weeks now...
I am experiancing abit of a guilt trip at the moment on their behalf, for I do not wish to let them down. But there has simply not been any possibility for me to finish the third chapter yet. Will try my luck and do my outmost best this weekend, for after that I am beginig a new day job, and with my disease I get brainfog after a four hour working day. Which basicaly means that there is not a snowballs chance in hell I can write that day... Luckily I have wednesdays of, so I am hopeful I will be able to make up for lost writing ability on those days.
Take care!

Sources of inspiration!
Are something I collect as soon as I find one, or have the time for it.
And as a writer I can not help but look for inspiration and advice in other writers, so I collect their blogs or websites.
Today I found a great one, and therefor this will be the first one up on this blog.
I have loads of others, and when time permitts it I will go through them and see what others I want to share.
My head is not willing to cooperate with me today, so therefore I need to struggle to write in english. So I will stop now, and try to update here again as soon as the fog in my brain has vanished.
Take care

New blogg!
I have a few in Swedish but none in english, so I thought that since I am writing for the english audience, and since most of the bloggs that I read are in english, maybe it is about time that I start up an english blogg.
So here it is, enjoy!
I am co-authoring a novel in english with a dear friend of mine, and I will post the progress of the work here. So that is also a reason for starting this one up.
See you all soon!
