I am currently working at adding at least one new subplot to The Cauldron Bound. I am having a great time, and the story will be *much* better. But I am once again wondering how on earth I revised before Scrivener. I am a linear writer. I begin at the opening and then I write […]
Last night I had a lightbulb moment that went something like this. Brain: So why did the Crone show up outside the cave? Me: *groans and tries to go back to sleep* Brain: Why did that warrior decide to help them? Me: …. Oh damn it. You want this simple novella to become a freaking […]
So last week I made dairy free marshmallow fudge. It was tasty but too sweet for me. So I cobbled together another recipe from several different recipes that is more adapted to swedish palates. 2 dl milk 3 dl sugar ( I used extra fine grained) 60 g butter 1 (150 g) bag of […]
I had one of those aha moments this moments this morning. I have been talking about making fudge for months, but I haven’t done it. Until I realised that it was much smarter to make fudge at Dad’s since he has a dishwasher. So I trudged off to buy the needed ingredients and a digital […]
The revision is going a bit slow, but I am making progress. Which is the important part. Anyway, I have been thinking about what I do during the various drafts, and thought I would list them here. First draft: Get the story down. This draft is riddled with plot holes, telling and awkward writing. Second […]
Since Exile is available at more places than Kobo now, I thought I would list some of the places you can buy Exile. Sadly, Amazon isn’t one of them since Overdrive seems to not distribute to Amazon. Or BN. ( Though BN might simply be very, very slow.) And yes. I am gnashing my teeth […]
On Monday The Digital reader reported that Adobe DE 4 is spying on Users. And since ADE is the most common program to read DRM’d epubs with, it freaked a lot of readers out. I’ll admit that I am one of them. And despite the fact that the previous versions don’t send data, I […]
This will be a slightly rambling post, since I am tired and has a slight headache. Sorry. If you follow me on Twitter, you already know that I finished Frosthold a week ago and I am currently revising The Cauldron Bound. The revisions are going really good. I have added almost 2000 words so far, […]
I am writing the ending of Frosthold, and I can say this is the messiest draft I have ever written. It has by far pushed down Queen of Sind, which held the top position for a long time. Yeah, yeah. I know that first drafts are supposed to be messy, but I normally don’t […]
I just returned from a weekend at our summer house. In many ways it was a great weekend. I wrote, I read, I picked mushrooms with my mother. But it was also a weird weekend. Why? I saw a blooming wild strawberry, a forget me not flower and a budding rose bush. All of these […]
