Hard to believe it’s already December!
How I spent my November I usually spend November working on a new book for NaNoWriMo. I spend thirty days trying to make sure that I write at least 1667 words per day to make sure I have hit a writing goal of 50,000 words by the end of the month. This year, because I…

Prepping for NaNoWriMo 2020
It’s that time again: time to prep for NaNoWriMo again. And, boy, do I need it. I know you’re probably tired of hearing it but the last two years have not been very easy for me. Sorry to have to remind you of it. It’s one of the reasons why I haven’t published very much…

My wish list – Autumn 2015
This weekend, I am in Skåne in southern Sweden. It’s a beautiful place–especially here in Yngsjöstrand, near Åhus (famous as the birthplace for Absolute Vodka–and yes, the Absolut distillery is still here). Autumn has already arrived here in Sweden–the leaves are turning colors and the air is chilly, the days are shorter… and it’s…

My NaNoWriMo 2014 novel soon disappearing from the site.
This is going to be the last week that the unedited version of Maybe Forever will be online. In the months since I finished Nanowrimo, I’ve made a lot of changes to the story, so the final version won’t be exactly the same. Anyway, enjoy these last few days with it. It may be offline…

NaNoWriMo 2014? Done!
I did it! 😀 I finished NaNoWriMo 2014 at 2AM this morning. The novel is by no means complete–I still have two chapters to finish–but I reached 50K and the first draft of Maybe Forever is nearly done. I should finish these last chapters by Sunday evening. 🙂 I’m aiming for a…

One More Week Until NaNoWriMo
Only one more week until NaNoWriMo and I am nearly done with my outline. I’m getting really anxious to start. I don’t remember feeling this excited last year–which is probably why I didn’t finish my 2013 NaNoWriMo effort. This year, as I mentioned in my last post, I’ll be returning to Copenhagen and writing about…

Prepping for NaNoWriMo
Every year, I (and loads of other writers) go a bit bonkers in the pursuit of completing a 50K+ word novel in a month. Yes, I mean NaNoWriMo. My 2011 NaNo novel became my first novel, Snowbound, which I published last autumn. I had a blast writing it and a lot of people…

The Soundtrack of Mads and Laney’s Lives
I am one of those writers who needs music when she writes. Every writing project gets its own Spotify playlist. Snowbound had its playlist of music that captured Jake and Mia’s moods as well as the holiday spirit. The same is true for Maybe Baby. When I first began writing Laney’s story, music played a…

Maybe Baby…and its progress
For the last year, I’ve been hard at work at finishing Maybe Baby, which I’ve blathered on about on Facebook and on Kim Talks Books. Maybe Baby was my NaNoWriMo 2012 novel, and it was so much fun to write, even if it deals with infidelity, a subject that is not everyone’s cup of tea.…
