I’m not sure I can even express how magical my time at the Fish Factory was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I got there, I wasn’t exactly sure what I would write, but I knew that I’d come up with something that reflected the magic of the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I soon settled into a routine where I’d wake up, have a cup of tea while looking out at the fjord, go for a long walk, then settle into the Fish Factory to write and rewrite for 4-8 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within about a week, I started writing brand new, original myths about ancient gods, the moon, the aurora, death, etc. While few of them are specifically about Iceland, all have echoes of Iceland in them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My goal was to write 30 new short pieces (about 1,500 – 2,000 words each), which I knew was ambitious. I thought if I could write 20 in 30 days that would be a win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wrote 28 pieces in 30 days and have a few ideas for some other ones that I’ll write in the next few months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
