i want to do it! 7 months ago

ok, so im 15, my only career thought has just gone down the loo, and what do i have left floating in this blonde head of mine? an apparent talent for writing, stubbornness, and an idea that wont go away.
can i do it?
probably not.
tune in, lets wait and see!

It is as cool as it sounds, and really not as hard. 10 months ago

At the very young age of 16 I was published a total number of 7 times in my counties newspaper. All I had to do was walk in there with my resume my camera, and examples of my work. you just need to get motivated, you can do it!!



It counts! 10 months ago

In fifth grade, I wrote a poem about nature and it was published in an annual poetry book for young children.
My fifth grade teacher even bought the stamp so that I could send it in.

I can’t remember most of it, and I think my mom has both copies of the book that was sent to us.

I think it went something like…

nature is a wonderful thing
like birds, it lets them have wings
(some other things, a couple verses)
isn’t nature a wonderful thing?

: )

I think it’s really cute, even now!

That one is for me too. I am always writing but because of my studies I can never concentrate long enough on my own subjects. I am working on a dissertaion…



Bjarke is wondering what to do with his life

Nearly indescribable 13 months ago

I can’t believe it’s been nearly half a year since I published. It seems like forever and yet I remember it so clearly. The thing I got published was a short story named Faldet (The Fall in English) in Politiken (one of the biggest Danish newspapers). It was so surreal to see your name, face and your story in the sunday edition of the paper. I recommend anyone to keep trying—it makes all the rejections worth it when it finally happens.

Next goal: Get a traditional publisher to publish a book-length piece of fiction written by me :)

I Did it! 20 months ago

Wow! It all finally came to pass. I got the book about 5 weeks ago and it looks awesome and I’m am excited to get it into teenager’s hands..It is up at amazon.com – borders.com and target.com and in our local bookstore soon. God really helped me get this goal accomplished. Hopefully teens will be challenged, encouraged and built up by it.
