My wife is a writer. She's had four novels published. But they're all out of print now.

I'm about 2000 words behind the schedule, so not good but not that bad either. it's really exhausting though, and finnish words being almost double the length of english ones, causes that I have to write almost twice the amount the english writers do. the average length of 175 pages in english is about 285 (conservative estimate) in finnish.

I wonder how reader is doing, haven't seen her around. maybe she's gone 'under'...

I should be writing right now, but welll...

Is it making sense at least or you are just letting it out?

shout, shout, let it all out!

It has a somewhat coherent plot and the world (future sci-fi) doesn't have major inconsistensies, but I make an effort to avoid editing. no correcting typos, rearranging words or working out better expressions. just get the story written, and fix it in the rewrite.

fix it in the rewrite.
fix it in the rewrite.

I see you're already in the role, uh 😉

I would love to read that when it's done... unfortunately, with my
suomi-englanti dictionary it will take me ages 🙁

Reader isn't doing so well either. I have a nice beginning, but I'm waaaaaay behind. 😛
