@SiljeWrites Omggg you’re so lucky you get to meet Priscilla!! I’m doing great! I’ve mainly been focusing on sports and I’ve really been loving Daisy Jones and The Six. I’ve read the book and watched the series as well. And something even more interesting is that Elvis’ granddaughter, Riley Keough, plays Daisy Jones! You are such an amazing writer, I could happily wait forever for you to release more of the story!

Collect* not college
            
            I know this is taking a long time, but I know I need to be more reassuring that the story is progressing. One day it will be completed, but that day could be long into the future or closer than expected. It all depends on if I get into a more quick pace again ☺️
            
            Other news? I’m going to meet Priscilla on the 9th of October of this year! She’s holding an event in Oslo, and I’ve managed to get tickets to both the event and a Meet & Greet. So, as you might guess, my Elvis heart is overjoyed and I can’t quite believe this is happening! ✨
            
            I hope you’re doing well. Have you read anything interesting lately? ☺️

Hi! Thank you for reaching out to check on both me and the story. I truly appreciate it ☺️✨
            How are you doing? 
            
            These days I’m working on an update for The Writing Nook, to let everyone in on where the story is at. 
            
            Brief look into what I’m doing these days: I’m working on connecting the dots from book 1 and 2. Making the red thread more stable and making the theme of book 2 more clear so I’m more aligned with the plot. 
            
            I’m far away from sharing the book, as I’m mostly working on making the story feel whole from earlier chapters. 
            
            I’ve just completed a reread of book 1, and I’ve headed into book 2 today. When I reach the chapter I left of at, I’m going to review how it aligns with book 1. Then I’m going to make a print of each chapter and make a overview of the challenges, plot points and get a clear direction going forward. Pick up on things that haven’t been addressed enough later on.
            
            I have plans for 5+ books, but each book needs a overall main conflict and direction. Something that makes each installment feel more whole. Book 2 has so many directions at the moment, that I need to just college my thoughts and get more organized. One of the main reasons it’s going slowly is the lack of all of this. I need to get rid of doubts that is holding me back.
            
            Also: reading book 1 again, I noticed I have used very confusing phrasing a lot. So many descriptions that goes overboard. It seems like I wrote the easiest things the most complicated way I could. This has made me laugh, a lot, at my own writing. I think it made me less frightened of writing to just get the pressure of topping something I’ve already written, when I know it already is a mess here and there ;) 
            
            At one point I could go back and edit again, but for now continuing the story is the main goal. So, I’m working on that rather then focusing on my vocabulary ☺️
            
            This was all but brief, but I hope it gave you some insight into where the story is at ☺️

@Jesusismysavior123 Thank you so much <3 
            
            I hope you’re doing well? ☺️ It makes me incredibly happy to see that it isn’t just me that cares for Sal and Elvis’ story. With writing I’m pretty much at the same place I was when I wrote the last update in The Writing Nook. Writing moves in waves now, because life just gets in the way at ceirtain times, but it does move forward. Just a bit slow, both because of things outside of my control and because the story needs care and effort. There are weeks and months that I work on the story everyday, and there are weeks where I’m not able to get to it. But I always come back to it. Sal and Elvis’ story still is my main passion in life. Almost like my lifeline in a way. I’m making sure it turns into what it’s supposed to become, and give it it all I’ve got whenever I can ❤️ 

Oh my goodness!! I’m sorry for your loss. Hope you feel better soon

Hi :) Thank you for checking in! I truly appreciate it! It means a lot ❤️ I’ll reply with how it’s going as soon as I can. A family member sadly passed away at the start of this week, and I’ve gotten a back injury on top of that ❤️ I did write a bit about how it’s going with the story in The Writing Nook ☺️ 

@Jesusismysavior123 Of course! I have thought about opening up for beta readers, but I haven't decided yet. I'm worried it will create more pressure than productivity. But, the story will continue ^_^

Okay!! Thanks so much

@Jesusismysavior123 Hi! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for sharing my love for these stories. I work on None of Mine everyday, so at some point in the future you'll be able to read the continuation. I'm soon coming out with a look into where I'm at with book 2 and my writing process in 'The Writing Nook'. Overall, I made the decision to complete the draft of book 2 before I go into editing and posting on a schedule again. This is what worked with book 1, and I've come to realize I should have done from the get-go with book 2 as well. This means there will be a greater wait—trust me it has not been an easy decision. I know it can be daunting to wait for a sequel for long periods of times. I would not have made that decision if it had not been for the best for the story.

Thank you! <3 I’ve loved getting to read your thoughts on where the story is going!

@SiljeWrites I'm so glad I could make you smile it means alot that there is someone out there that's like me . You've inspired me to write myself.  My papa passed away a few years ago unfortunately we had a connection like no one else. When I lost him I felt like I lost a piece of myself but whenever I realized music was what I needed to do I thought it was a blessing sent by him to make me happy . I'm not only doing this for me I'm doing this for him . Your grandmother is proud of you never forget that 

@Ezmeetjeuh0909 I couldn't help but both shed a tear and smile, reading about that new star in the sky. Thank you for your words, I truly appreciate them from the bottom of my heart, and I am doing better now ❤️ She was just one year older than Elvis was, born in 1934. And she got to live those years I write about now, being young in the 1950s. I've seen so many new pictures of her the last few weeks, during that time, in old photo albums. And it made me think of how you've shared that you collect some of the things I do too, like old car models. I wish I'd known more about her life during that time, but in a way we get to explore it through writing, reading and collections of things. I'm picking up where I left of now, with author questions and writing (and I hope to soon get that edited book 1 chapter I've been working on up soon.) Lot's of love from Silje

@Elvis_68 It is really a beautiful statement, sharing that these stories makes you feel like your problems are a million miles away. In a way, I wrote them for that exact reason. It is something we share.

@SiljeWrites The genie, I need my three wishes

@SiljeWrites probably professor McGonagall from the harry potter series . I've always loved her character she seems really wise . 
            I would ask her about the history of hogwarts and her upbringing . 

@SiljeWrites my favorite part of Wendy's story is her not wanting to grow up and peter pan gives her the freedom of childhood and just being free before growing up and their final goodbye broke my heart . I love when Wendy gets shot down and they build a house around her and ask her to be the lost boys mother it's just adorable !

@Elvis_68 That is a magical choice! Quite an adventurous world to live in, and you’d truly be part of a fairytale world ☺️✨ Writing and creating stories in general has a lot to do with who Peter Pan and Wendy is, while Wendy also relates a lot to the real world. Is there any part of Wendy’s story you see as your favorite? 
            
            And the mention of Sal? Just thank you! Really! I’m thrilled ✨❤️ I can’t wait to show more of her story with you!

@SiljeWrites that's so hard to say lol but definitely Sal because obviously   I read alot of books growing up and for some reason I always envisioned myself as Wendy is jm barries peter pan idk why
