Ditch the formalities and write!
Are you a writer or an aspiring author? Do you find it difficult to get started on your story? Maybe you want to make sure that everything looks right from the beginning? Ditch the formalities – and write! I’ve often encountered writers (mostly the unpublished ones), who care an awful lot about ‘doing it properly’. They are asking questions about writing software, formatting their text and other technicalities. Before they have even thought about a plot or a character. Before there is a story to write. Does that sound like you? Maybe this post can help you to just get started on the actual writing. Being correct or making excuses?…

Forfatter: Drop formaliteterne og skriv!
Drop formaliteterne og skriv Er du forfatter eller forfatterspire og synes du det er svært at komme i gang med selve historien? Måske går du meget op i at skrive det ’rigtigt’ fra starten? Drop formaliteterne – og skriv! Jeg har ofte oplevet forfattere (flest forfatterspirer), der går meget op i om de gør det helt rigtigt. De stiller spørgsmål omkring skriveprogrammer, formatering og linjeafstande. Før de overhovedet har fået formuleret en karakter eller et plot. Før der er en historie at skrive ned. Lyder det som dig? Så er dette indlæg måske det lille spark du har brug for, for at komme i gang. Korrekthed eller undskyldninger? Har du…

Questions like “What would a mercenary be paid for a silver tray in 1884?” pop up during your writing and you turn to research. But then the thought hits you. Is it even really relevant for your story? If that sounds familiar, maybe this blogpost can be of some help! As a reader, I often encounter books rich in detail because authors have researched their themes, worlds etc. Sometimes though, the story can end up drowning…

Research som forfatter – hvad er vigtigt?
Research din bog – men hvad er vigtigt? Hvis du er forfatter eller godt kan lide at skrive, er du sikkert stødt på et problem i stil med ”hvad tjente en belgisk smed i 1746?”. Hvis du indimellem sidder og tænker ”er det her overhovedet relevant?” kan det her blogindlæg måske hjælpe dig. Jeg er som læser tit stødt på bøger der er rige på detaljer, fordi en forfatter har researchet deres emner. Nogle gange kan det dog også tage overhånd, og plottet forsvinder i detaljer og beskrivelser af autentisk fransk bestik fra 1890. Det er ikke alt læseren har brug for at vide. Men hvordan finder du ud af,…
