It's Actually Crazy That Hearing The Bridge Of A Single Orchestral Song Cover Will Make You Want To Write

being a writer is wild

like there are some days where all the words click into place and the sentences flow like silk and then there are other days where your plot is undergoing radioactive decay and you're about to punch through your laptop screen in frustration

Certain words can change your brain forever and ever so you do have to be very careful about it.

"are you okay?" no I got way too attached to a fictional character and now they're dead

Muunmuassa tästä syystä kirjoitan salanimellä. Mutta äitini on älykäs. Kun olin lapsi, hän löysi jokaisen tavaran jonka väitin kadonneen - joten luultavasti hän löytää myös minut.

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).
