My blog and I

When I meet friends and old colleges they all seem to want to know how I spend my time as a struggling writer. First of all: Am I a published author? No, but I hope to be one day. I now live on saved money from my IT-consulting job and try to spend as much time as possible writing. I used to write code. Now I just write.

Back to the initial question that everybody ask. Well actually, what they all ask is what do you write about, but I will not reveal that here, as I usually do not reveal it in real life either. However, I will dedicate this blogspot to answering the question they all should be asking: What do you do as a writer? So, the next time they ask I can say: “Go to turbanslife.blogspot.com and see for your self.” Easy peacy.

If I ever get regular readers to this blog, they/you will eventually ask: “How does he ever expect to be a writer? This blog is full of typos and bad grammar.” Well, I find comfort in the fact that English is my second language and that my novel is written in Norwegian. If I get a bunch of regular readers I will start having ads on the blog and I will earn a shit load of money. Well, writing is all about daydreaming, isn’t it?

When I get around to it, I will buy a camera and my blog will be full of pictures from my life. I will use more pictures and fewer words, so that I don’t spend all my writing energy on this blog and not on my book. If there is nothing happening in my blog, you should all be happy for me because then I probably am busy writing on something else. However, if I update my blog frequently, you know that I am in trouble.

Is what you find here “the truth and whole truth so help me God?” Noh. My rough estimate is that turbansblog.blogspot.com will contain ten to twenty percent lies, but I guess that is the beauty of the Internet. You can lie as much as you like. Almost.
