Life Interrupted


While listening to Bittersweet Symphony by the Verve this morning, I imagined a couple of teens waking up in the morning and getting dressed in a hurry under their parents watchful eyes. I’m mouthing the song and the images keep coming…The song is playing in their heads, over and over. Then they leave their house with a small bag full of clothes and some money, their heart twisted and turned in pain. They are wearing gray clothing and their hair is styled neatly as if they were going to an elegant party. It’s an overcast day in Vienna. As they walk, another group of teenagers appear on the same road and they walk together for some time until they reach the end of the road and the road splits up in four different directions. The teenagers look at each other with glassy eyes. They hug and kiss each other as each one of them takes a different path towards their future unrealistic life…and hope some kind of light fills their darkness soon. Who are they? Why were they sent away? Help me write this story!

Read and Write Spirit

Image
During the past twelve weeks I’d seen and marveled at how technology rules not only in social media and publishing but in encouraging young adults to write and read. It’s nice to see tweens and teens using technology not only to socialize but to read and find their ‘writing spirit’ as well. For the most part YA literature is written by adults with a fascination for ghosts, vampires, fairies, high school crushes and anything to do with the tribulations we go through our teenage years. Now in days we see more talented young writers express their feelings by putting it in a novel. Fresh from the tribulations of teenage-hood. It’s refreshing to see this trend and I hope this continues to grow because it gives us “adult writers” a window to the past and inspiration for the future. One of these young writers’ is Saga Berg; she is the author of Nordic Fairies. From the moment I read the blurb I became intrigued with the story of Svala and Viggo. The author was kind enough to send me a copy
