Min kjol köpte jag för ungefär en månad sedan på Lindex. Men har sett liknande på flera ställen, så det borde inte vara alltför svårt att hitta. x

you remind me of snusmumriken! i think you could have some lovely walks together in the mountains or the sun-drenched fields

ah, thank you that is so lovely! I can very much identify with Snusmumriken, and I often think about that. We’re both very calm and don’t say much, we like to daydream and being outdoors alone. And I think we both have that essence of being slightly overlooked by others, but when it comes down to it - we have very strong beliefs and will fight anyone over it. I’m not trying to say that I’m in fact Snusmumriken, but you know - I very secretly am wearing a green hat and hikes through the misty mountains.

goodbye-bobby-jean said: i strongly believe that if one can learn finish, there’s nothing that can stop you language-wise!

true that, gotta say.

goodbye-bobby-jean said: if the public cuddling continues to disturb your study of the swedish language, remember that i’m ya professional swedish expert, always ready to swede up your homework!

unless you can magically pour swedish words into my brain and force me to remember them, i think i'm out of the reach of help (not that you'd be bad teacher, but because i'm hopeless student). but thanks for the offer and when i'll get the next mental breakdown because of your incomprehensible language, i'll come crying to you!

tho the easiest way to help my learning would be throwing those cheesy cuddlers into Mordor but one of them is my classmate and it would cause disturbance in the team spirit so that's not an option (unfortunately)

I have a character (girl, 14yo) who also is the narrative of the story, and she's a big lier. She lies a lot in the dialogue with other characters, and sometimes admit it to the reader. The thing is, she's also lying (or exaggerating) to the reader, how can i pull this off without coming across like I have failed to keep track of details or am mixing up my own story? I want the reader to stop and be all "waaaaaaait a minute! that lil' shit lied to me?!"

What you’re doing is employing a literary device known as an unreliable narrator. Writers have been using it for eons and it’s an aspect of many a classic work: Lolita, To Kill a Mockingbird, and House of Leaves are a few examples. Here is TV Tropes’ explanation of what an unreliable narrator is.

I found a couple of resources on writing an unreliable narrator:

Using an “Unreliable Narrator” in Fiction

On Writing a Novel With an Unreliable Narrator

I also recommend reading some works that use this device; all of the ones I listed are good, and just in time for Halloween, Edgar Allan Poe was pretty much the unreliable narrator conniseur in his short fiction pieces. “The Tell-Tale Heart” is a good place to start, as well as “The Cask of Amontillado.”

Hope that helps!
