My nine year old son came home and asked to use the laptop.

He's starting to write a story with a schoolmate.

Something I've done right.

Tried to Google about the band Butthole Surfers.

I got to Butthole Sur.... and it suggested Butthole Surgery.

Where are we heading as a species?

And I always thought Penny Lane was about a girl, Penny, often in the head of John Lennon...

Can I say that Chris Cornell is haunting me at the moment?

Listening to Audioslave's first album and it gives me goosebumps and brings a tear in my eye.

He is moving physical things beyond the grave.

Love it!

Should I have a pen name, a pseudonym?

I'm writing a nonfiction book in English. The aim is in the US and big native english readers and I'd be selling via Amazon.

Might the nordic Ä be a problem in the search menu or is it a strenght with which to stand out of a crowd?

Like Mötley Crüe in 80's.

The best thing on a cold dark and early winter morning is a freshly brewed coffee.

The next best thing is the neighbours newspaper.

I seem to be lacking a gene.

The one that makes me interested in sports.

I do enjoy watching my sons play in their hobbies, but to be excited about some millionaires doing sports. Naah.

But give me a book or a movie and I'm all in.

One of the great things about writing is that you can take all your shitty stupid jokes, put them to the mouth of the protagonist and make every other charachter laugh at them wildly.

Woke up two, three hours before the rest of the house.

Been wondering (in the dark) how a writer could make the best use of a talent money wise.

In Finland books don't sell that much. And without a grant money is tight. Mine aren't even published yet, I'm still new to this.

The thing is...

The best feeling about writing is when you get excited about your own text. ❤️

I was pondering the start of my next manuscript. Just about how it would go. The beginning is a crucial moment for the writer AND the reader.

In a whiff I wrote the whole epilogue, though only a page long.

How I use my social media?

FB is for friends and relatives, occasional groups, basic keeping in touch.

Instagram is just for sailing and catamaran related pics, reliving moments.

Bluesky is for intelligent posts, conversations and artistic views.

Been here a week and love it already!

Dave Grohl played in a legendary rockband, twice.

Harrison Ford is Indiana Jones, Han Solo and the Blade Runner.

Who can ever top those?

"Valon Polku", The Path of Light, is a series of light art installations by the banks of river Aura.

Many of them were awesome, but this one moved me the most. 'The Translucens' is a holographic piece projected onto a water curtain that was sprayed from the river.

Our local library offers a "Present to borrow".

Open at home, be surprised, read and return.

I gotta love this.

How to tackle the Linux code like a pro.

Just a normal russian commercial flight. Nothing to see here...

Starting to write a script for a third novel, while the other two are still rounding publishers tables (hoping to get them published) says it all about the anxiety of a starting author.

And then again it tells how much I love what I do, with or without success.
