This week has been completely crazy for me...

It's the winter holiday and the kids are home. The last couple of days we went to Copenhagen to go to this Lego fair - Lego World... What a disappointment... We only stayed 4 hours and then we had enough. There were just too many people and not enough staff to deal with the visitors. I had to stand in line for more than an hour just to get us something to eat!! It was horrible. - The lego was great though. They had built some amazing scenes...Marcus was totally into the whole Star Wars theme the had going...

I haven't had time to write anything on the book - well, I haven't been in the mood for it. We got home from Copenhagen last night and I was completely burned out. I'm not used to driving so far...
While we were gone, I got my other Vampire Diaries book and I have done almost nothing but read it all day today.. It is infectious and I simply cannot put it down... I read the first book already (The fury) and i was horrified when Elena - the main character - died. How can there be too or three more books without her??? So I cheated and leafed through the other book quickly without really reading anything but found out that she is still in the story - just as a ghost!! That made me feel a little better... But I don't think it will be the same thougth. Not without the lovestory that has been going on between her and Stefan...

If you havn't read the books, you really should... They are... well, infectious :-)

I may not write anything on my boot tomorrow either because my car broke down and I have to go get it fixed and then I have a party to go to tomorrow night.. Not really in the mood for it now but hopefully I will be tomorrow...

Got to go do my nails for tomorrow but just wanted to let you know I'm still alive ;-)

Oh I feel pretty darn good about myself now. Just wrote 7 pages on chapter 14 tonight. That is aprox. 2100 words guys...

The last couple of days have been awfull. I have been sick with something that reminded me of the flue but I don't think it was the flue because it is almost over now. Maybe it was just one of those 24 hour bugs??? Anyways I feel much better now.

I may not get to write much tomorrow - or at least not untill tomorrow night anyways... I find it difficult to write on the weekends when the kids are home. I simply cannot concentrate the same way I can when I'm alone... which leaves me with evening writing...

Anyhow... Just wanted to let you know I was fine and still working on the book...

I am off to bed now.

xoxo

YES!!! I finished chapter 13 :-) and I think it turned out pretty good. I am very proud of myself... Even if my book never gets to be published I will still be proud because at least I think it is turning out pretty good if I may say so myself :-)

I got the first "The Vampire Diaries" book the other day, and I'm already done reading it. It is a double book (1. and 2. book in one) and it is nothing like the TVseries...
Some of the Characters are right - like the main characteres but a lot has been changed on TV - which doesn't make it wors at all... I like the TVseries very much and is just as excited about it as I am about the books.
The books however, are not as well written as The Twilight saga books that Stephenie Meyer has written - but they are okay... No, okay is not a good enough word. They are exciting and very hard to put down...

Well, it's late and I got to go to bed. Just wanted to let everyone know I was still alive and well - and extremely excited about my own book :-)

Caio - xoxo

Yesterday I finished chapter 12 and now I'm almost halfway through chapter 13. It is amazing how much I can get done when i want to...

I watched an episode of The Vampire Diaries last night and could not stop laughing when Damon, aka Ian Somerhalder, was reading New Moon and said "What is with this Bella girl? Edward is so whipped"

Don't get me wrong, I love Twilight, but that was just funny :-)

I'm waiting impatiently for the mailman. I got a mail yesterday that Saxo.com had sent my first book of the vampire diaries so I'm hoping it will come today...

Well, this is it for now. Must get on with the writing if I want to finish by Easter ;-)

Later!!!

Exactly like I predicted, I am spending Sunday on the couch tending to the aftershock of last nights fun :-) Lots of movies and sleep will do the trick I think..

Tomorrow, I will work hard on my book because I feel like I have neglected it :-( I will work seriously hard on it all next week. I hope to finish at least two chapters.

I won't write much more today - hope you understand my reasons lol. But before I go, I will just send my wishes and thoughts to my loving friend Annika who's birthday is today :-) I love you and miss you girl...

xoxo

Wow what a day...

We finished the course on Sunset with sandwiches - it was really nice and I loved the gift I got from Helle and Birgit. Thanks guys... Love ya..

Been out shopping for the birthday party tomorrow - lots of cake :-)

And my friend did my eyebrows - ouch :-( I suck at pain... I feel so sore now but at least the redness is gone by now. I will look awesome tomorrow :-) Pain = beauty... (sometimes)

Unfortunately, I will not be able to write on my book till monday. Having a birthday is a lot of work. I will have to clean the house, bake and prepare for familiy for afternoon tea and friends for party at night...
And hopefully the party is going to be so great that I will end up with hangovers Sunday ;-)

Monday I am going to dedicate to book writing... (unless my mother gets me a ticket to this amazing fair that's in town)

BTW, everyone who loves the Twilight and The Vampire Diaries books will love my book - I hope... And if you havn't read any of the two series - you really should...

Got to go for now

XOXO...

Countdown, T-2 days to my birthday :-)

I'm looking really forward to my birthday party on Saturday night... We are going to have so much fun and I am going to make a bunch of birthday cakes (layer cakes - the kind we use here in DK as birthday cakes) You will be able to see pictures on facebook later if you follow me there.

I havn't been able to write anything on the book today because I have been cleaning the house. I want to write really bad but unfortunately, I also have responsibilities that comes first. Book writing comes 2nd sadly.

However, tomorrow is the last day of the job searching course I'm in, so from monday, I have all day to write again - when I have looked for a job online first though...
My plan is to spend one hour searching for jobs every day and then write the rest of the day. If I do not get a job within the next couple of months, I will be able to write quite a lot - I have the whole plan for the last part of my book in my head and all I need to do is to get it down on paper - well, on the computer that is!

I will do my best to finish the book before Easter (as I mentioned yesterday) so that I can spend Easter editing and revising together with my best friend Gitte who has promised to help me. It all comes down to her... If she likes it, I will try to find a publishing house that wants to publish it...
I heard that I should get an agent first, so maybe that's the way, I really don't know...

OMG.. that was quite a mouthful... I hope you don't mind :-)

Till next time...

XOXO Annette

I had a very productive day yesterday..

Had the day off from the course I'm currently attending and wrote 7 pages on my book. (That's about 2000 words in my case)
I have decided that each page should contain an average of 300 words. I have looked in the many books I have read and found that 300 words was the average so that's what I'm using too.
Up ontil now, I have 12 chapters. I want each chapter to be at least 20 pages of 300 word, and I want at least 20 chapter. So, you can see that I still have quite a lot of work to do.

Thoughts were flying out of my head yesterday and I could hardly stop. I only stopped because I had to go pick up the kids. I hope I will finish around Easter. That could be pretty cool. But, if I don't, then you will just have to wait a little longer to read it. ;-)
And hopefully you will get to read it because I hope it will be so good that a publishing house will publish it... That is my dream anyway!!!

About the snow storm that was supposed to hit Denmark yesterday - well, It didn't hit where I live. Yes, we got a lot of snow but it certainly was no storm!!!
I still loved all the snow though. It makes me in such a good mood. I went down to the market yesterday afternoon and for the first time in years I wished i had a pair of skis.

Today, I am back in the course and tonight I have parents meeting, so sadly I may not write anything even though it itches in my fingers.

Till I write again...

xoxo

It's the second day of my blog writing...

The snow is coming wildly down outside and the storm is over us which I think is amazing. I love the snow. It makes everything look fantastic and as if we're in a fairy tale... It may not be funny to walk around out side in the storm but from the safty of my house, it is beautiful.

This kind of weather makes my mind wander and the imaginary world in head come to life and I have the whole day planned. I am going to sit in front of my computer writing on my book.

Like Thomas Christensen says: "To become a good writer, you should: write every day, write, write some more, then write even more and then some...."

So I am going to do just that....

Okay better get this show on the road... I have this amazing picture i really want to use as a background on my blog but I'm having trouble figuring out how to do it :-( My blog would be so cool, if I got that background instead of only the black... Can anyone help me with this??

So, first of all.. Hello everyone... I plan to use this blog as a journal/diary of some sort to let friends, family and basically everyone who want to know about me know how I am doing and what I am up to these days.

Starting today, this is my first day so I may not be pretty good at this yet, but I hope for now it will be bearable for you to read my thoughts.

I have started on something that might seem like a huge project to some but to me, it comes kind of naturally. In November, I started writing a book and by now, I have gotten pretty far - actually I'm halfway through it. If anyone want to publish it when I'm done with it is going to be very exciting. Obvioiusly I hope so very much but life is unpredictable...

This blog will probably be about a lot of what I am going throug in connection to this book. If you find it exciting to see what it's all going to end up with, then please follow me :-)

Anyway... Be happy and do not forget to do something silly once in a while...

Welcome

Hello everyone
