The weather forecast talked about rain today, but as I sit here looking out our huge windows I can see no signs of it. The sun is here, and for me it looks like it will be another day perfect for cross country skiing, perfect for making a fire, eating burnt sausages.......
But before going out I have my every morning at the cabin quiet writing time. I wrote alot last night and I continue today. I am writing this cabin book in English, which is not my mother tongue and I woke up this morning with alot of English words on my tongue.....can I use this word in my stories, what does this word mean, what about this....... I am always charmed by writers who know how to use the language with its flow of richness in words. A.S.Byatt has always been a favorite of mine because of this, Frances Mayes has the same gift. For me this will be a challenge, a challenge I am stupid, or naive enough to dive into.
I will have to count on alot of English speaking friends to help me out, to find the right words, to help me collect the right stories. Like yesterday, when I wrote about the washing of my hair and I could include Karen Blixen and Out of Africa. Thank you Mo'a for reminding me of this story.
Writing, skiing, eating.......that's my fit cabin life. And I love it when the weather is nice enough to enjoy Terje's chocolate cake out on the terracce. Or his breakfast indoors..........He is up now, making breakfast, so it is time for me to stop blogging.
