Publication day a k a Oh, no, did I actually push that button-day

Ok, I did it. I pulled the trigger. A bit prematurely, perhaps, but I just couldn’t stand to keep working on that story for one more day. It needs to be read now. I had severe problems with the description, trying not to spoil anything would lead to pretty much: Lee lives in a dome. One day she goes Outside. Not exactly Must-Read, is it? I can no longer see this story for what it is, only for what I wanted it to be and all the things I think the rest of the series can be. It feels very muc...

A bit of Comic Relief

The editing of Outside is taking more time than expected, because even though the beta readers didn't have any major objections, I keep finding things that I know I can do better. And I have been struggling with my impatient side who wants to publish NOW, but the rest of me want to write the very best book that I can and so far that part has the upper hand.
This is a video clip that I saved a while ago, when I had read something really funny and wanted to write something that made people laugh...

First excerpt from Outside - Enjoy!

Oh, this week seems to have gotten away from me completely, but I am writing, I promise. Just not blogging.
To keep you from getting bored, here is an excerpt from Outside, the Middle Grade Science fiction story that I'm working on right now: (Too small? Click on it!)

Not dead yet, but staying indoors, unlike Lee who might be going Outside soon ...

One might be forgiven for thinking that I went to the Gothenburg Book Fair and then didn't come home, judging by my blogging and social media presence last week. I did, actually, make it home, with a suitcase filled with books, but also with a cold and massive exhaustion. Not exactly what I needed with my huge ToDo-list, but there wasn't much I could do about it.
Last week disappeared in a fog of catching up and sleeping a lot and crying quite a bit. This week I'm slowly getting back on my fee...

Prognosis: lots of books and sore feet from walking all day!

Time to start packing! I leave at dawn the day after tomorrow and tomorrow I'll be busy with a family birthday celebration so I guess I need to start looking for my suitcase ... In a minute. The weather in Gothenburg during the four-day book bonanza that is the Gothenburg Bookfair looks like it's going to be varied but not quite as nice as it has been the last few weeks. Since I'll be indoors all the time, I guess it could be raining grasshoppers. I wouldn't notice.
Also, there is another...
