The highlight of my day was that I reached 35000 words and my novel The Shadows of Death is at it's halfway point wordwise.  I had planned it to be like a hundred pages in total so following my initial plan I would be almost done since I am at page 82 now. But then I got informed that a novel should have at least 70000 words and preferably 80000 so there is no point in doing something if it's not done properly. It's a bummer but I have chosen to solve this problem by making the story less linear and chose to develop more characters than my initial plan. According to my mum who has read the first 75 pages the story is really good and she has a very difficult time figuring who the killer is and that is a good thing for a crime story.

 

When it comes to writing I just thought about the fact that I have not written any poetry for a very long time. Writing poetry is maybe not my specialty but it can still be an inspiring and semi complex pastime when one has someone special to write to. Since I don't but I still feel the need to show some of my readers who has never read my poems my abilities please see below the latest two poems I wrote approxiamately one and half years ago. Enjoy!

 

Melanie

The only girl there can be
the only girl that I can see
the awesome Magic Melanie.

 

I love the touch of your soft skin
which gives life to feelings deep within
a life full of joy and free of sin.

 

Your eyes shining in the morning light,
Is earth’s most beautiful sight
to see them again I’ll do all in my might.

 

Without you, it’s hard to sleep
Fear of losing you makes me weep
Alone the stairs seem so steep

 

My destiny was hanging in the balance,
All reduced to a game of chance
with all my strength I took a stance

 

Hopefully you’ll listen to your inner voice
and then make up your hearts choice
Unaffected by ambient noise

 

It might end up at a beach
standing together within arm’s reach
giving our lives speech.

 

Remembering You

Remembering when we kiss.

It’s a timeless moment filled with bliss

A sensation that I dearly miss.

 

When I am seeing you smile
I am motivated to go the extra mile
Standing up against anything that is wile

 

When I am holding your hand,
I am transported to a foreign land
Where nothing is dull and bland.

 

Remembering us having fun
And all I want to do is to run
To be with you yet again hun.

 

The soft touch of your lips,
And the movement of your hips
Girl what I’d love to take some sips.

 

Intelligence, humor and wits
A great body, A lovely smile and tits
Lucky is anyone, who next to you sits.

 

So baby cure my from my dark plight,
By handing me the rope of light,
Pulling me to a future so bright.
