Feedback: "Finnish stories: ghosts from the past"

The main story is written. I need to finish all the little stories (Anssi and his new career, Arttu and his love life, Rane and his bar, the kids of Vellu,...). Everything is started but nothing is really finished.

This weekend there is no ski jumping and no planned trip. I will work as much as possible on the story.

but you cannot work the whole weekend on that story
go out, take a walk or sth like that...

but it sounds good

Now I hesitate between a long story or if I should cut it in two parts... They are more than 40 pages. Anyway. I continue the writing for a little while before to seriously decide.

a long story would be great

That's an option. But I will reconsider if it's longer than 60 pages. The other parts had between 25 and 45 pages. It will be strange if the last part is really much longer.

Today I wrote quite a lot and just now I've added a funny chapter with Arttu. Humour was missing but I'm correcting it

a funny chapter with the master of law can't wait to read it

it's your story and your decision

The name of the chapter is "feeling old"

hehe
dürfte interessant sein, was der grund dafür ist, für dieses "feeling old"

The four first chapters (19 pages) look really good or ready. They are smooth and well connected together (in my point of view). The chapter 5 is not finished (Havu is inviting his friends to have dinner). The chapter 6 is missing as well as maybe 7 and 8 too. Then I've the tragic chapter that is ready and the following ones. Then some are missing and the 2-3 chapters concerning Nina and her secret are written. The real end of the saga is still missing. Currently 47 pages are written altogether.

wow... but i think this will be one story more

Probably. It's why I stopped writing the end and I'm completing the missing chapters from the beginning. I know exactly where I have to cut the story if I need part 8. It will end with Arttu and Pillow. The thing is that if I cut the story in 2 parts, I've to find a new title... "Broken Hearts" doesn't really work... It's not that important. I'll find another title later.

This morning I read again Part 3 (tears of joy and sorrow) because it's in this one that there are plenty of little details for the end of the saga and I had some tears in my eyes at the end even if I knew how it was ending.

or you let it as one story...
arttu how is the end with him and pillow?

oh no... don't cry

I think that I will cut the story in 2 for 2 reasons. First I don't like too long stories and 2nd I don't want you to wait till christmas.

Good news. I need to write about 3-4 chapters and the part 7 must be ready. After of course I'll have to read everything from the beginning. I've to say that I like the first chapter a lot

And just for you, the end of the story:

Pillow was looking at him from his basket in the living room. He didn’t get why his owner looked so stressed. He would definitively never understand human’s emotions.

kiitos!!!

you're great
now I'm really curious

3 small chapters are left: the gig of the new band, a chapter with Nina and one with Havu and it's finished. Today I wrote one with Maria and Katrina.

edit (21:36): the chapter with Nina is done. 2 are left

The title of the 7th part (and maybe 8th part too) is "Broken Hearts". I just heard the new song of Evanescence "My heart is broken" and the lyrics fit exactly with the story! That's unbelievable!

yes, its great

havu jumps in klingenthal. can't believe it. hope everything goes fine

I saw... it's suicide. And why? What is the reason? He doesn't need to get points for the quota. I guess that Pekka wants to show to the whole world that his "master piece" is coming back to fight with the Austrians... I hope that he will be strong enough to say no if he doesn't feel good enough during the training camp. I don't want to think of the consequences if he injures again his knee.

havu will not be longer pekka's "master piece" if he's injured again. after a 3rd injury he can end his career
i thought that havu wants to wait until winter he is so... impatient
