new inspiration, fresher air.

so I was writing a lot and then it calmed down a little, my mind got a rest. things happened, the days went by and I met someone awesome (more like realised that someone who has been in my life for a while was more than a friend), and just those feelings, the freaking outs and the happiness of something new and exciting makes me want to write. Of course I guess I'm like most other writers, it comes more naturally to scribble down things when life is hard and everything feels impossible. At the same time I feel myself writing more these days than ever. Maybe he actually inspires me? Scary thought!

I always look forward to night time because that's when the writing flows out of me. anything and everything can inspire me, from the clichés of looking across a lake or a forest to the simplicity of sitting on a bench and watching people walk by.

I feel happy, and my new short stories reflect that in a certain way. Still dark and twisted, but I let someone see my newest story and the person said it might just be the most beautiful thing they'd ever read. Now that throws me off a bit since I usually don't have the same thoughts as to what beauty is as many others... just read my stories and you'll get that!

So I don't think I have much else to put down at the moment. Have to continue on the creative path and get this manuscript done, then work on getting my books out in paperback... constant argument with publishing about the frontcover photo. I've been booked for a booksigning before my books are even published in paperback! It's fun and ridiculous at the same time.

Now, be safe! Will write again soon!

Writing again!

So I'm writing again, found inspiration! Got 64 pages down for my new book. Just can't decide on the title yet, torn between two but I'll figure it out. My manuscripts are being sent to Vendetta Publishing which is huge for me! and I'm hoping for a new publishing deal :-) some more coffee and quiet nights and I think the book might be finished during the early months of the new year. Hope you've all had a good christmas and a great new year.

accomplishment!

Just read the first official review of my book "Tragic Stories and Tall Tales". I am awestruck at the words about my writings, it always helps that the person reading understands that I am not anti-religious but rather  socially critical! I am very happy about this review and must send a lot of thanks to scullfucker magazine who chose to read and review it!

here´s a link to the fantastic review:

Written a lot lately

I forgot about this song that I adore by CocoRosie, it´s titled "Werewolf". It´s fantastic and I love it... words just flow out of me when I listen to it. Thanking music for inspiration! Was in a chat-room talking to people who read a lot when a woman came in with the nickname "cocorosie" and my memory was shot back to this band. Inspiration is everywhere. Fantastic!

It´s been a very rainy Summer so there´s been plenty of time for me to sit inside and write, but time passes by so quickly and life gets in the way. I should´ve gotten a lot further with my third book, and I wish I was. Like a black cloud over my head when I know there is so many words left in me that I need to get down on paper but can´t get into that almost meditation-like state I need to reach in order to write. It will come, and luckily nights are getting dark again... which I love.

Ach well.

Time will tell how this goes. Will keep you updated.

Be Safe,
Stephanie.

it's been a while

I have been working really hard on my third book. seems to take a lot of time, my creativity isn't flowing in the same way as it did with my first books. I have a wish to write a full story, not built up by short stories. In the style I write it will be hard to accomplish but I want it so bad that I will do my best at getting it done. I wont make my deadline for numerous reasons... I recently moved from Bergen, Norway to Oslo, Norway which has been quite a hard process both emotionally and creatively. I don't have as much time of silence to write as I used to which is a huge factor for being able to write. I refuse to hand in any work that I haven´t put my heart and soul into creating.

So until next time... Be safe,

Stephanie

I've started working on my third book, I may have it finished by August but one never knows about these things. It's been pretty hectic around here lately. Not sure if I should write my book the way I originally had intended back in 2009 or if I should write it in my style with rhymes. I tried writing it again from the beginning and it kind of works, surprisingly enough! but I doubt that anyone would want to read an entire book written in my style... think it would make anyone go loopy. Oh well. I'll give it a try and keep updating here!

Be safe,
Stephanie
