– I saw on television shows instead of reading books. If anyone is wondering what I’ve seen, it’s just to mention a series; I’ve probably seen it, admitted the Crown Princess during literary salon in Norwegian Festival of Literature in Lillehammer Wednesday morning.
Princess Mette-Marit is on a two-day journey by reading the train, and shall meet ten writers during the trip. It was after last year’s travel on the same train that read lust disappeared.
– I did not get to read. I managed neither to concentrate or to build me a love of reading by reading something light. It went a whole summer without me read a single book.

Short books, the solution
The two writers Ruth Lillegraven and Ingvild H. Rishøi sat on stage with the Crown Princess. It was these two who had some credit for that Mette-Marit got back into the books.
– I was sent some books and got some gift. Suddenly I had two writers I could relate to. Two who wrote so short that I could go into it, told kronprinsessen.Rishøi try to write a long book
The two writers read aloud from their books before Mette-Marit asked them questions about what to write . Crown Princess wondered partly why they wrote in short format, respectively poems and short stories.

– I tried to write a long book – a novel that would encompass everything. But as I searched for a writer school where you had to submit a finalized text. Then I wrote a short story and realized that it was what was fun for me, responded Rishøi.
Lillegraven told the Crown Princess that she previously worked in publishing, and that it was purely coincidental that she began writing poetry.
– I carried not on a writer’s dream, and had not written much. But then I became acquainted with the poet Nils Haagensen Øivind, and was inspired by the way he wrote poems on. I started writing unplanned, and felt that I could not stop.
