Holiday update ...

Summer holidays are upon us - which for a serial writer means the next manuscript has to be delievered before editor, copy-editor and printers take off for whatever beach is the nearest one ...
It's looking a lot more like September than June, it's raining so hard I half expect to see Noahs ark ankering outside my window. I don't mind the rain, it's perfect writing weather ...
I'm going for a trip myself, just not sure where yet. Italy og England, most likely. As long as it has a plug and a wi-fi, I'll be fine. I'll take my computer and be perfectly happy ...
 Have a great summer, and remember to bring books - loads of books :D

From a serial writer's diary ... update

June has sprung - which is always nice. At the moment Oslo is warmer than most places in Europe, even the Canary Islands, and that's nice too, if I was on the Beach. Which I'm not. I have 3000 words to write this weekend, and have to let the sunny days pass me by. I also have a manuscript too read, so not much time for leisure.
But I did download "The Princess Bride" to my Kindle. I saw the movie some years ago, and was totally charmed. But I haven't read it before. (I also haven't read Charlotte's Web, Cat in the Hat, To Kill a Mocking Bird or The Catcher in the Rye - just saying. Although I do have a degree in literature, these books fell under the radar. I plan to read them when I'm in the Old Folk's home, where I also plan to play War of the Worlds and get a tatoo ...).
Anyway, I love the Princess Bride, as much for  the story as for the whole Morgenstern vs Goldman discussion in the preface. Very cool.
