h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi B4

I've been looking around your space and lurked in a few conversations. And I see that you are probably away for a while.

Why I'm here?

I've read your 'prosa' in Hati's summerhouse. It d my imagination and I found myself smiling at the screen . Very well written, I find, descriptive and with a twist of intelligent zany humour. (If that's not a contradiction - English is not my native toungue).

I see that you write Haiku. I wonder if you have written something else - like a short story, novel or essay? If so I would like to read it.

Why, yes, I do have a couple or three works up my sleeves right now. One is a continuation of DNA’s HHGTTG series, another is a fantasy story about a romantic triangle with an odd third party, and something that needs to be my magnum opus is a true-life story about my Oma’s, my Mutti’s, and her sisters’ travels (featuring the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff) while trying to reunite with Opa after the war. I suppose you’ve seen the poetry I’ve posted on GetWriting, and the haiku that The Post is publishing regularly now. Ah, if only I could keep up with the demand! I’m not prolific, you know, just an average writer who does it as a pastime.

Thanks for noticing.

Hi

Now I have read some of your haiku poetry - in your journals. Not yet have I gotten around to check the GetWriting - I've been meaning to for two years. Now I have more arguments.

I wanted to translate a Danish word that says a lot more than read - but it wasn't given in my dictionary. It is one word that contains that I have used my senses, my imagination and experiences and thus been presented of a new insight, a new point of view, another way to look at for instance machines and nature.



I'm on my last lap of rewriting a book for tuition and am running dry of words and sentences.

Tomorrow I and my family take off for Copenhagen for five days to visit our adult children and grandchildren. I'm looking forward to skip the words for a couple of days

Your magnum opus sounds like something I would like to read. When was this travel? Around WW2? I don't recognise the name of the ship - .

I've just read a good book about the people in Berlin just after the war ended. "The Good German" by Joseph Kanon.

Well, back to w*rk-s

Oh, thanks for you views on smiles. I'll get back to that later.
