How To Fix Writer's Doubt

When I was younger I wrote for hours every day, and I was very proud of every word. And whenever I didn't write, I didn't feel guilty about it, because I knew I was a good writer. I knew I was pretty brilliant, actually.

Now, as a full time film student trying to keep myself mentally healthy and have some sort of balance in my life, most of my writing I do for school.
And despite still writing for hours every day on different school projects, it doesn't ever feel like it's enough. I feel guilty...

Authortube Newbie Tag

Time for the Authortube Newbie Tag!

I filmed this many months ago but never posted it because it's one of those videos that make me feel super self conscious. But I don't feel like answering all these questions again, so here we are trying to be brave. For the sake of laziness.

At least I had a fun time editing this video and laughing at my stupid face :)

Have a happy day!

How to write a scene that keeps the reader turning the pages

The scene is most important tool and building block for your story, and if you can’t write and structure a great scene, you sadly can’t write a great story. Therefore, you should never, ever write scenes that the reader would want to skip. And this video tells you how!

You probably know about 3 act structure, 4 act structure, 5, act structure…. Beat sheets, plotting methods… all that fun stuff.

We have 11 years left on Earth

Lincoln at night. Don't know who owns the photo, but not me anyway :)
I can't wait to be living here, seeing this sky, walking these streets. 

My home city used to fill me with joy and wonder, but now all I see is construction site after construction site, a murky sky, trash covered streets and soggy, gray snow.

Lincoln probably isn't the most perfect place on Earth, but I can't wait to escape there and find out.
The fact that scientists say our planet only has 11 more years left has occupie...

10 years of Em

Ten years ago I was a 10-year-old swedish kid with new bangs (didn't we all want to be hannah montana at some point?) that looked awful because my hair wanted to be curly.

So beanies were my thing. And stripes were also my thing. Glasses were not my thing because they were annoying and so ugly, ugh.


But most importantly, I had just watched Pirates of the Caribbean for the first time; our parents hadn't bough the newest Harry Potter movie yet so I cheated and only read The Half-Blood Prince beca...
