Låter som en underbar bok John! Se nu till att skriva färdigt den! Som författare av historiska äventyrsböcker vet jag hur lätt det är att fastna i fakta. Jag säger till dig som jag säger till de elever jag möter: “Tro på dig själv, skriv från hjärtat, om det du brinner för och det DU vill läsa. Tänk inte på att någon annan ska läsa det du skriver, då blir berättelsen som allra bäst.” Sätt igång!!!
Kram Kim 😀

In reply to Lars Christer Billbäck. How often I have said to myself: The next one will be a fantasy! :-)

Seems like a very interesting story indeed, and I hope I’ll see it realised (THIS year…!)! I chose a somewhat easier path when I got serious about writing. Of course, there’s research of sorts in the fantasy genre too, but the settings and the world are strictly build-your-own 🙂

In reply to Eva. Very many thanks for your comment and encouragement Eva. I do appreciate it. Every year I seem to tell myself: "This is the year. I'll complete it this year." It hasn't happened yet, but this year, this year! :-)

Do not give up, you will make it and Elins story sounds like one that many people will want to read about. Though I recognize your situation. I had written some 150 pages of a detectivestory when I started doubting my text. It was so deep, it was so good, I had forgotten the detective … It was actually too deep down in everybody and impossible as what it was supposed to be. It is extremely difficult to start again from page one. I have done it now but I don´t Think I can do it again.

I admire you for doing it so many times! Yes, I also think it gives training. And it proves you are a good writer, because it is difficult. Good luck with page 51, I also keep my fingers crossed!
