39

Had a fever of 39 C for 2 days. Now slowly recovering. Meanwhile the recent "discussions" within the Finnish so-called scene have escaleted to such idiocy that I want no part of any of it. Tomorrow I will get back to work. And from now on interviews and such are not part of the work.

Evolve

I love the very early stages of a book when you start with a concept and then it starts to evolve into something completely different. And then it's still somehow the same book but now hidden inside of something stranger.

Things with a 1500 pg book

The things already written, that I forgot to have written and
The things unwritten that I'm not sure whether they are already written or not.
These things.
Not to be mixed.

Form

Thinking out the form of my next book, the book after L and notes to L. In many ways the favorite part of the process for me. I now have a pretty good idea of the beginning. Could start it any day. Any day after L is done. Book is called AGK in A.

Silvia Regina

Yes it seems this book is coming out in English. I don't want to jinx it but yes Lola Rogers is translating (at this very moment)and a LA based publisher is bringing it out. This book is probably the best that was done in my old style. Don't have a clue how it'll be read in the English speaking world.  Translation is something I feel strogly about. A good traslation is a work of art in itself. Looking forward to reading this.

Instincts

If I had the liberty to follow my instincts to the fullest I would never give any interviews or in any way talk of my work to anyone.

Synopsis

Wrote a quick synopsis for Suomaa strip parts 29 to 77. As usual there are spots I really can't wait to write and then the other spots that are more like built up to fortcoming events. And what's with my math! As I mentioned several times Läskimooses was supposed to be a 250 pg quickie and now it's going to be a 1500 behemoth. Same goes with Suomaa. I should have reached most of the main events in little over a year and now I'm still in the early stages of the story.
