Hi, John here again.
Just wanted to correct a small misunderstanding.
Tomas was very involved in the script from the beginning. We discussed what to keep from the book, and what not to. The 240-page version was written after these discussions, and I think that we also did a walkthrough, as described, of that script. Then we did another one on the 120-page version. In total, we maybe sat for a week just reading and discussing the script, and those days I fondly remember as one of the most joyeous working periods of my writing career. Tomas is a great guy to be with.
So, with that sorted out, I once again return to the shadows. Or rather to the play I´m writing. It´s finally started working.
Take care.

John

Love reading your books! Good luck with everything you attempt in the future!

I suspected that, since you are continuing the good work with Människohamn - Human Harbour. I'm looking forward to the film.

Thank you very much for clearing that up John. :)

I'm glad the play you're working on is working! The thing I'm working on isn't, and it's intensely frustrating. I'll make it work though. It's just not...good enough. In fact it's still in the "this is terribly embarrassing and I would be mortified if someone were to actually read this" stage.

Hopefully some day I might be able to convince someone to pay me for my writing!

You are definitely an influence.

Knowing John is reading just makes my day, but makes me really self conscious! :oops:

I hope that one day, we get to see an approximate English translation of this early draft

Oskar is my body
Jocke is my enemy
I will let you in at any hour.
