This comment doesn't really have anything to do with your writing - but I just felt the need to tell you that I have two cousins and they are named Sloveig and Ingrid. My family is of Norwegian background (last name Nilson). Anyhow that of course is not really related to your writing I just find it funny and chuckle to myself about your name choices everytime I see them.

Keep up the writing - I know you get frustrated at times but I am certain that you will succeed and create a wonderful novel!
