I&#8217;m just so pleased to have another story out in Finnish. I feel more confident with my Finnish-language creative writing these days; I still write more in English, but I feel that I <em>can<\/em> write in Finnish too (even poetry!), which makes all the difference. <\/p>\n<p>Some story notes in Finnish, because well, you have to know Finnish to read this story:<\/p>\n<p>Eli suomeksi (en tied\u00e4 olenko ennen kirjoittanut suomeksi t\u00e4ss\u00e4 blogissa, oudon tuntuista!): kirjoitin novellin alun perin kilpailua varten, jossa etsittiin Turkuun sijoittuvia spefinovelleja. Olin hurjan iloinen, ett\u00e4 uskalsin my\u00f6hemmin l\u00e4hett\u00e4\u00e4 sen Usvaan. Sain Usvan toimittajalta Anne Leinoselta todella hyvi\u00e4 kommentteja, joiden perusteella muokkasin novellin sen lopulliseen muotoon. K\u00e4yn Turussa s\u00e4\u00e4nn\u00f6llisesti jatko-opintojeni takia, mutta kaupunki on kuitenkin aina jollain tapaa vieras, ei koti &#8211; eli oli mielenkiintoista kirjoittaa sinne sijoittuva novelli. Siin\u00e4 n\u00e4kyy jonkin verran &#8220;minun Turkuani&#8221;. Tosin itse en ole (viel\u00e4?) t\u00f6rm\u00e4nnyt kummallisiin rituaaleihin Kupittaan puistossa. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just noticed that the Finnish ezine Usva has published its folklore issue, which includes my story &#8220;Vierain silmin&#8221; (&#8216;With Strange Eyes&#8217;).
