In this series<\/a>, we interview published Novlr authors to learn about their work, routines, and how they use Novlr. Alice Aagaard is a Danish writer and horror author of the short story collections, <\/em>‘Galgeleg’ and ‘Gravsoen’. Alice lives in the country with her family, cats, and chickens.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Can you tell us a little about yourself as a writer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I have been writing on and off since I was 16, but only became a published author in mid-life. Now I’m trying to make it a career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have published five books so far; two short story collections and three writing trackers to help authors keep a record of their words, read writing tips, and get general writing advice and motivation. A lot of well-known Danish authors have contributed to the calendars with excellent writing advice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The genre I write in is “soft” horror \u2014 similar to old gothic horror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What publishing route did you choose, and why?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I am so lucky to have had my books accepted by a recognized Danish publisher. My work has found a home with Byens Forlag<\/a> (The City’s Publishing House), who also runs cosy caf\u00e9s where you can buy coffee and cake, but most importantly sit and write!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Galgeleg<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I knew I wanted to be a writer at 16 years old. But I didn’t make my publishing debut until I was middle-aged. If I can give any advice to young writers, it’s just keep going!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your writing routine?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’m an afternoon writer<\/a>. I write every afternoon and read every evening. The only thing I do in the mornings is drink coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have any interesting writing quirks?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I love using technical words in my writing. I often ingredients, like in the creams my characters use, the food they eat, or even in things they use, like paint. I even describe the correct name and model number of appliances like dishwashers. Sometimes it adds to the fun and contributes to the grotesque nature of the horror I write. Other times it’s just too much, but it’s definitely something that’s specific to me, as a writer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you find your inspiration?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A lot of my inspiration comes from people I meet, people I hear about, and things I read about. I love anything weird, so the weirder the stories, the better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long have you used Novlr, and how does it fit into your writing routine?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I have been using Novlr for five years; I open the program almost every day. It is my main writing tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love the organisation that Novlr gives me. I love that I can organize chapters\/scenes at the top and add notes at the bottom. It is also nice that the app is online. My husband and I are currently writing on a joint project, and with Novlr, he can log in and see what I’ve written without needing to use my PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gravsoen<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What was one of the most surprising things you learned in the process of writing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

That you never finish. I can keep correcting and changing an old manuscript that was written and published long ago. It lives on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story keeps changing, either on paper or in my mind. Leonardo Da Vinci once said, \u201cArt is never finished, only abandoned.\u201d For me, this rings true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you think makes a good story?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Denmark right now, autofiction is very popular. Lived life is almost seen as “finer” literature than pure imagination. But I have to admit, I love a good fantasy story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weird characters, suspense, surprises, plot twists, a bit of dark grotesque humour; that’s where my passion lies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where can people find your books?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My books have only been published in Danish so far, so they are only available in Danish webshops. But, I am very grateful that all my books have received good reviews so far. It’s nice knowing readers enjoy my work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My two short story collections are Galgeleg<\/a> <\/em>(Hangman – Tales of Destiny) and Gravsoen<\/a><\/em> (Graveyard Pig – Tales of Destiny 2). I write a lot about Scandinavian myth. A Graveyard pig, for instance, is a dead pig that roams cemeteries. If you see it, it means that someone you love will die – unless you dig up a murdered child and rebury it in consecrated ground. I have a book launch event for Gravsoen<\/em> coming up, and I’ve ordered a large cake with a Graveyard pig on it, which I can’t wait to share with my readers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can follow me on Instagram<\/a> to learn more about my life and publishing journey, or follow my publisher<\/a> to see more from myself and other Danish authors. Right now, I’m writing a new novel with my husband about an old, abandoned slaughterhouse in the folk horror genre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
