Went to bed with wet hair, woke up with interesting hair sculpture on head. Will I spend the day looking as though I've escaped from the Tate Modern or go out in the snow to get some firewood to heat the water for a shower... Ahh, the joys of rural FinlaInformation

by PaD 1 year agoI can imagine - I'm going to try and use noisier times to focus on editing I think. Hope you had a productive day today though!
Tranquility would be nice - I've had enough of living near flippin' students! -
by SteveF 1 year agoFinland. I'm jealous. I had one snowy visit to Tampere and Helsinki a couple of years ago, and am anxious to go back. Great to meet you at the Festival. -
by Dizzy 1 year agoI think 99% of the writers at the festival agree with you on that, im trying my best to stay positive though, the thing im most sad about is my bank account.... this trip was very expensive and i HATE spending money :'( haha
Well the think about the writing bug is once you catch it your got for life, thats my opinion, so stick with it, i may need to get a job aswell as the writing to pay the bills though seeing as writing can be such a penniless affair!
Ah thats nice, im sure your mind willl settle once you get back home to your family and get a chance to really think :)
I almost dint get through cutsoms with all the books i got, they weighed my bag way over the 20 kg limit... :/ -

(and slept for 12 hours ) :) How are you feelng about ur booking endevours after the weekend? or have you had a chance to take it all in! My head was about to explode by sunday! :O

by PaD 1 year agoHaa yeah, "avant-gard" I think is the term. Definitely Pulitzer Prize material though. What do you reckon, collaborative effort?
Me brains is still a bit zonked but hopefully all the info will have sunk in by the time my shiny new laptop arrives =)
Was great to meet you too, quaff lots of wine and generally talk about stuff and things! You back in Finland now? -
by Adriana 1 year agoHi Heather! It was great meeting you too! Fun fun fun. We should definitely keep in touch. I got home without any problems except that I got home sick. It's probably all the excitement :) and there was a lot of that!
