Jim's diary, Part 8
Small one
I just found something beautiful. A short story called "Small one". Wanted to express my gratitude for its writer. I do not know if I succeeded.
The story made my day. I had been having some difficulties with myself, but that one piece of text made it better. The story itself was about life and it had a real ending. Made me feel better. There is still something good going on.
At HS blogs there is a small happening for writers, where they can comment each others texts and a real author gives her feedback for some. It's in Finnish language. I have sent a piece of text there too. Maybe later I will put a link for it here as well. We shall see. I seem to do less things than one can imagine.

Uncle's bay
It is called Uncle's bay. The place where I've been on summer holiday for a week now. Our summer cottage is located in a small village in eastern Finland.
I've been spending lazy eight days with my parents. They are living in a bigger house, main building, by the lake. I am in a small cottage right beside the main building also with a lake view.
My brother's family will be here tomorrow. On Saturday we will have my godmother's 50th birthday in a town nearby. The last night before heading back to the Apple tree alley we will be staying in a hotel.
Have a great summer, all of you!

Helsinki Day
Drinking coffee at the blue villa's terrace. Töölö bay is at its best with sunny and windy weather. It is Helsinki Day today.
I think it was a Helsinki Day quite a while ago when my godson was about 5 and he pulled my arm and said: "Daddy, daddy." Just about the best feeling I've ever had. Although he was just kidding. I told him I would be the happiest man if I had a son like him. Maybe he wasn't feeling too bad either.
Such things happen on Helsinki Day, too.

Jim's diary, Part 5
Good Monday morning.
Sometimes people are allowed to do some crazy stuff at nights. It is now actually Sunday night half past two. So I am using that as an excuse for publishing "Some Notes" after all. Instead of putting it here, it is now as a Google document available behind the link below:
http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dhmrmvrq_15cghbhwfm
It has an original true ending for "Mary and me". On this blog will later continue an imaginative "Apple tree alley". As I did not follow good writers´ advice to stop writing while the going is good, I find myself now with a piece of a blank paper. What goes around, comes around...
Have a nice week - u 2!

Deception
I am not sure if this is a deception of some kind.
A short story, which I might send to Hay on Wye Short Story Contest, is called "Some Notes". Yesterday I thought now I am going to put "Some Notes" here on my blog as well. I copied the last version of it from another file and pasted it on my blog. Just the headline came out. A very short story indeed.
I had an idea, that maybe it was not supposed to come out yet. This morning I lost also the headline. A very short story gets shorter and finally disappears. Well, no deception about it.
But maybe trying to put "Some Notes" on this blog of mine was some kind of a deception at the first place. Who knows?

Question
I beg your pardon, my laptop. I am cheating you. This is coming from Anna's computer.
I do not do many good things in my life. I quess, I am quite a cynical person. This time I am trying to make an exception - and tell you about it.
The question I was supposed to ask from a professor would have been about a writing contest. I had a small piece of text, which was in my consideration to be sent for a short story competition. The thought of participating in something with such good means fascinated me for a change.
There is a small charming town Hay-on-Wye in Wales with many good quality second hand book stores, which has this Hay Short Story Contest, I am telling about.
If interested please check the link below:

Maybe in the near future I am emboldened enough to publish the short story here as well. I am not that sure if my intentions towards this are all good. Actually I do not have an idea, how they would feel about this.
This was the question, which I was supposed to ask from the professor: Could you check this text of five pages and tell me your opinion, if I am doing something crazy?
Never asked it.

Lazy crazy bastard
Half past three Monday morning. One lazy bastard I am. I don't know, if I can make it ´till the evening, when there would be a course about history of Finland at the Helsinki University. So stupid I am, to write about this. It would be a course for 8 days and an essay to do.
Just about the only reason, why I should attend the course is, that I have a question to ask, which has nothing to do with history of Finland. Probably, if I manage to get the course done, which shall not happen, I cannot ask the question. One lazy crazy bastard I am. We shall see - starts to be a motto of some kind.
See you, my laptop, later today.
