Applied for another job. This kept me rather busy all weekend, designing a portfolio and coming up with a letter. Latter one can be so hard. I'd chew on one sentence for a whole day.
Heating is working, coffee machine is replaced. I am so far healthy and happy :D (yes, I was actually almost constantly sick since January)

Against that Therdeban, my novel, is moving at an awesome pace.I have 340 word pages and 552 Normpages. Again, to visualize this, pick the closes book and flip to page 550. Thats how many pages I've gotten, and thats pure writing. It does not include the chapter gaps and the illustrations (which add another 30 pages if you ask me. Status now). I'm still 8 chapters away from the end. This is without the editing. I say the editing will eat atleast 150 pages of the total. It should be more but I've decided that just cause apparently publishers say nay to everything over 500 pages thats no reason to not atleast TRY.
Chapter 27 was rather hard to write, which perhaps explains why I wrote it that quick. I felt, that if I sat down and thought too much in dept I'd go too nice. It also threw up a lot of questions of into how in depth I wish to go, and how much I want to write.There are so many ways of passing on a message and I love the subtle way. Though, I still say I say way too much. I'm way to graphic. I need to let readers imagine more. Just like abstract art this translation is very hard, I feel I am still learning. I even fear I may end up forever fixing Therdeban.
Thats what I'm doing. Aside of finding out I can sew with a sewing machine, sewing a bean bag (big one) and running after possible lessons(as teacher) that will keep me above water in summer. Also, starting to play with the thought of applying at a lektor with Therdeban, resume, plotline, 6 pages out of Therdeban... but still so scared of it somehow.
