The Beginning

Today is the first day of my digital diary. I have many notebooks filled with scribbles, thoughts, and plans, but I've never really succeeded in keeping a consistent diary. This one is different. This diary is dedicated to documenting my creative process for one specific project. Well, that's not entirely true since a project can have many side branches. On one branch, an apple might grow, and on another, a pear (which doesn’t fit into an apple pie...).

The only commitment I’m making to this diary is to write from my heart. No perfectionism, no overthinking about potential readers. This is for me. If you want to read it because you're curious, want to join me on this creative journey, or are seeking inspiration from another creative soul, that’s fine. You’re welcome here, but I will not write with you in mind.

So, this is it for today—a short introduction just to get started with post number one. Now, I will spend ten minutes working on a text I am struggling with, titled "Wings." At the moment, I have many words and sentences that don’t quite fit but hold clues to what I want to convey—a messy, beautiful mix of Swedish and English. Let’s get to work!
