Writing in English
April 19th, 2006 | Published in Writing
Part of my reason to set up this blog in English, is because of my living in the US and the people I meet here and the work that I do, some of which is directed specifically at an English-speaking audience.
At the top of this list is my new book, with the working title “The Ghost Killer”, and it is my first novel in English. In 2001, I had my first novel published in Denmark called “Det perfekte offer” (The Perfect Victim), and I have written two more books in Danish. “Ghost Killer” was originally written as an experiment, just to see if writing in English would be too much work in comparison.
That experiment has since turned out to be a lot more than that. I wrote the first draft of “Ghost Killer” during Nanowrimo 2005, took a break, wrote a second draft which went out to a panel of selected critique-readers. Their comments will be worked into a third and final draft, which I will then try to get out to the masses. That would be you.
Since “Ghost Killer” went from experiment to serious effort, and I have already come up with a few ideas for more stories featuring the same characters, it seems even more obvious that I should start blogging about it - in the same language the book is written in.
