I am so enjoying this, I guess I am on a Gustavian high. At my parent's house I found this:

A vanity

A letter dated 1853, with a red seal

Silverware 

I am meeting the antique dealer next week.

I am writing and doing daily research. I am making notes and collecting things like crazy, imaginary and real objects, which becomes my "secret" writing material. (The Swedish word for bureau is sekretär.) I like to surround myself with real props when I write - so that I can feel the texture, feel the text - It's crazy, I know...

I wouldn't want to work with anyone just yet, I enjoy my solitude very much - I believe all writers do. I wouldn't mind trying my screenplay on actors pretty soon though, before sending it off to agents. Gustavian Green. That is me right now. Any actor who'd comment on this weblog, I'd be thrilled to work with. I am just a sucker for compliments! When in doubt I shall ever finish this screenplay - I have several of unfinished screenplays in my head and in my sekretär - I think of you. My real and imaginary listener.

On my to do list:

Relax and not try too much - instead rely on a "peculiar passive clarity".
