There is a new fabolous magazine out here in Sweden called "Skriva". I guess it´s just a sign that writing has become everybody´s best hobby. Good for us all! Writing-groups are gathering all over the place and the writing-coaches seem to make a tonload of money, because they try and sell writing-courses at exotic places like New York and London and Sevilla.
But I´m not the one who wears a grudge, and I would love a writing-coach if I could afford one. Now I have to so with my own inner demons. But at least they are free...
Free was not the new book I bought from one of the writing-coaches through the internet. But it seems really interesting and I hope it will give me some tools to work with. Or at least remind me of the beforementioned tools.
I have now written 25 % of the book, and it´s getting harder. But noone said this would be easy.

New year and a new start!
I have been busy writing a blog on a Swedish site (part of a blog-competition) and since I don´t seem to find energy enough to write two blogs AND write a novel, this English version has been sadly neglected. Sorry for that! (to the four of you who actually keep following me:))
But! New year and new fresh ideas, so I´m re-launching this blog!!
No more photos of a fat middleaged woman in strange retro and vintageclothes (promises, promises) BUT a more serious writing-blog (promises again...) as I´m doing my damndest to get the novel finished before June 1st 2012. Not sure why I choose that date, but I definitely need a deadline!
I took 3 days off from work this week and wanted to write, but so far I have been sadly sabotaged in this effort by Teenager who keeps coming back from his Dad like a boomerang. This morning I actually told him he couldn´t come over to sleep after a night on the town (which translates as a night playing computergames with his nerdfriends, for some reason playing a whole night is very much more exciting than playing a full day!)....so I´m guiltridden for stopping him from entering his home. But I do know that if he doesn´t leave me alone at least one day, absolutely nothing will be written.
I´m such a lousy mum!!!
