Review of Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold (Written June 13th)
People have been pointing at this book and either praising it or trashing it. I guess now I'll become one of those people ( Read more... ) -
Review of In Cold Blood by Capote (Written July 3rd)
The book In Cold Blood: A True Account of a Multiple Murder and Its Consequences is, as the subtitle states, based on a true story.

Review of End of Alice by A.M. Homes (written 27th of May 2008)
"And perhaps you wonder who am I to be running interference, to be acting as her translator and yours. Mine is the speech, the rhythm and rhyme of an old and peculiar man who has been locked away for too long, punished for pursuing a taste of his own." (The End of Alice, p. 11)
A.M. Homes is a brave writer. She dares to be cheerful (This Book will ( Read more... ) -
Ugh - Here I am - kinda
It's been a while since I posted here. The writing went well before the vacation but now I'm in a slum. Vacation is over and I'm down with a persistent stomach flu that won't leave me be. I haven't read as much as I wanted this summer and I haven't written as much as I needed to.
Oh well... there will be new days. Better days. Until them I'm going ( Read more... ) -
Oh my what a sheep!
*sigh*
I'm such a sheep.
It's not that I haven't been writing.
I just haven't been writing in here. I guess when push comes to shove that's a good thing. Yet it's not. I didn't mean to neglect this part of my world. Recently I've been keeping a handwritten journal over my writing thoughts. It's more inspired by the incredibly beautiful book that I ( Read more... ) -
lazy or just
Yes, no I haven't finished my book. I have been writing though, a lot which might be one of the reasons why I've been so lazy to write here. I've had bad moments. I've strayed into short stories. I've had moments. And now I'm not far from the end. I still have quite some things to do but it's coming along ( Read more... ) -
Writing Again
I've been drowsing but I got a huge push in the behind yesterday. I wrote a short story and finished it on the 28th which was kind of nice to get out of the system but now I'm back in my book full force which is good for the selfesteem. I have to move forward with this and it seems to be going in the right direction. I've even managed to integrate ( Read more... ) -
Fieldtrip
I wrote a page and a half yesterday in Swedish. It went well except for some obvious grammar and spelling errors. I have the ability to twist and turn the language a tad but I make rookie mistakes. I'm not quite there yet but I think it might be worth my while to keep on practising. Practise makes perfect and all that... Until then I'll be ( Read more... ) -
Isn't it Ironic, don't you think?
I was in santorini without my computer. The ironic thing was that the only way to write was my small notebook, which symbolicly had a lots of sheep on them. Green sheep, pink sheep, clover sheep, sad sheep, glad sheep, frowning sheep. Lots of sheeps. I got ideas and wanted to write but it was a vacation - after all. Now I'm home only for a little ( Read more... ) -
yes, indeed
I'm going to fly to the Greek Islands (santorini) tomorrow morning. I will be there for 2 weeks. When I get back I'll be "here" for a week and on the 4th of August I'll take another flight - this time "homewards=Iceland". It's both educational and ... well...
I'm terrified of flying.It explains it all.
