Life is really hectic right now, I have work, and stuff with my kids, and then this massive revision of my WIP is finally coming to an end . It's been six weeks of basically changing everything. I have amazing beta readers who spot every weakness. I always struggle to make the story complex enough, with twists and plot turns and multiple shits hitting multiple fans... 😅 But now I think it's grown lots better. This last round of betas will hopefully help me with the last changes to make the novel exciting, dark, flamboyant and emotional. 😄 . . Tell me about your life right now, is it running at full speed or slowing down over the summer? Do you have time to be creative? My gang. I would not know what to do without them. They let me go on and on about my characters and my world and the three new cover ideas I have for stories that I haven't even started yet. And they trust me with secrets and worries and pride regarding their own work. And I get to read their stories and learn from helping them improve. And they force me to go to uncomfortable lengths to improve my own work. They are my first critics and my fierce friends and tonight I got to hang out with them! 💕💕💕Tell me about your gang! (They are, from the left: acclaimed writers Alex Haridi, Anna Arvidsson (then there's me looking like the happy puppy) and Anna Ahlund.) I'm going to start to put some other kinds of photos on this account, mostly related to my writing process or my inspiration. I start with this incredible abandoned train set I found a while back. It really suits most of my world building. I always find myself looking for, and putting in, the broken, dirty and dingy. Just as with people, it's the imperfections that are most interesting. In the System there are shiny, futuristic things, but built on top or just to the side of shattered pieces of our own history. In my current work, Equilibrium, there are glittering dresses and shiny instruments, but also starvation, crime and rascism. Do you like broken things in stories, or you want to br swept away to shiny places? Happy birthday Norway! And what better way to celebrate than with a sweet, salty and totally (I mean *totally*!) hot story of love, choices, friendship and standing up for yourself. Do you love Skam? Do you enjoy David Levithan's books? Well, this is even better. 💜💙💚💛❤️ (Photo cred Anna Ahlund)
