Onkohan Tumblrissa ketään suomalaisia kirjailijoita

I'm sorry but I have one draft that I never finished but I laugh every time I see it

the cool thing about writing is that if you finish the book you get a free book at the end

i hate writing action scenes. WHY ARE THEY SO HARD. do i describe every punch? every duck? every dramatic glare?? suddenly i have no idea how bodies move and it reads like a play-by-play of an awkward middle school fight. 'he punched. they dodged. they punched. he dodged.' HELP.

Always the writer, never the reader.

The more finnish literature I read the more convinced I am that all of it could fit into two cathegories:

Absolute trauma (likely linked to sex one way or another) that will grab your eyeballs and will not let go until you’ve read it (stuff by Johanna Sinisalo, Katja Kettu, Sofi Oksanen, Mika Waltari, Laulu tulipunaisesta kukasta) or silly blorbos going on feel-good adventures (stuff by Arto Paasilinna, Tatu & Patu, Moomins, Seitsemän veljestä (at least a third of the way in)) and then there’s stuff smack in the middle (Kalevala).

i’m one existential crisis away from writing the best character arc of my life

“There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.”

― W. Somerset Maugham

Reading a book: “Ah, yes, brilliant. That totally makes sense. How clever!”

Attempting to write a book: “I am a complete and utter fraud. Who gave me permission to wield words? Someone revoke my keyboard.”
