So, the reason I've been silent here is that the work with NattiNatti was in the final stage (for me). It's not much left now. I'm really looking forward to seeing this book on the shelves, it's beautiful!
On top of that I've just started on full time in the store and everybody and their brother seem to have a wedding celebration, birthday, name giving or general get together that I just have to attend. I've cut back on some socializing but it's still a lot. Just that time of the year I suppose. And since I usually leave the festivities in high spirits it's worth it. But I haven't had time for the internet.
I went to Depeche Mode's concert in Copenhagen (oh gods! It's more than a week ago!) and it was great! They played all the important songs (ok, so the songs that was important to me) and the weather was fine and I got to see Dave Gahan even if he was a very small figure in the distance and... It was all good. I had my normal problems with the audience, that is 'the talking'. What is it with people and concerts? Why, oh why, do they have to discuss work, computers, girlfriends, last binge drinking experience, have lengthy retellings of other concerts with other bands they've seen? Dave Gahan is on stage NOW! This is why I don't normally go to concerts. They're full of people. Well, I changed place and stood next to five hard core fan-girls who jumped up and down and squeeled whatever they played. It was inspirational and rather cute.
I've also - finally - started work on the sequel of The Book Formerly Known as Udda, and it's all good. I love the feeling of fresh scenes, when you almost experience the scene while you write it. It's not always so, but often enough to keep me going. I need to have a rough draft ready by October so there's going to be a lot of writing and banging of heads later on.
This weekend has been all about rest and recuperation. I'm feeling rather wrung out and sleep a lot. I try to remedie it with pasta, chocolate and sci-fi series on tv. So far it's going well. Hopefully I'll manage to get some writing in when i meet up with the ladies of BU tomorrow and I'll try to get an early night so I'll be back to normal by Tuesday.
I also hope that you all have had a wonderful couple of weeks and a great weekend!
