Finished two Danish short stories this week, both set in the same universe and featuring the samme main character. One is a smut fic, which I only write very rarely and have never written in Danish before and although I'm mostly satisfied with the result? It was a struggle writing it, for sure. Not sure I'll be doing more of that, maybe just fade to black from here on out, but we'll see.
I've begun reading a Danish book called something that translates to "Fleeting Words" and is an essay by political speech writer, Anita Furu, who has served not one or two but FOUR different Danish prime ministers until she recently retired to write full-time. It's very easily consumed and gives an interesting and very warm-tinted look at the workings at Danish parliament. I'm two chapters in, but will try reading a new chapter every day until I'm done (the book is 13 chapters).
I have also betaread. It's a novel, so 100k words and I'm not nearly done, but it's a good exercise for me, since I've never done it before on something so major in size. I really like the story, though, so in that way it's an easy job.
And I've just outlined a new short story in the same universe as the two I recently wrote. It'll be a text message-style piece and I'm kinda excited for it.
