Iskreno, nisam upućen u to... Baš gledam po netu, ali ne nalazim ništa o tome... Na što točno mislite? U svakom slučaju mi zvuči kao zanimljiv izazov...

There is a fairy tale "Ledendvor" (A. Gardaš, croatian writer). The best translation of Ledendvor would be Icepalace (something like that, in one word). In this fairy tale, the boy goes to the forest and reaches Lendendvor, where various people are imprisoned by sentence because of their behavior. The boy meets a butcher who cheated people and now has pigs' hooves instead of hands; an evil stepmother who must comb her stepdaughter for eternity; spoiled princess ...
I was thrilled with the story, but it's lacked dialogue between the characters. I was wondering, do prisoners understand why they are there? Can they change? is there space for change or new understanding?
So , I decided to write a similar story, but with a little more dialogues. I imagined the main character entering a palace where he meets a few captured characters and tells everyone a story instead of giving advice. I decided that the story should be short and not more than 15 pages long.
And EKALLIM was created with its 480 pages.
P.S.
In 2019 I finished a sequel with the same number of pages.

I push myself to send on proofreading a new book of therapeutic stories for children in which I experiment with some new form of stories.

While teaching psychotherapy students, they often asked me for help because they couldn't write essays. I was the ideal person to seek advice because I was known for how much I could write in a short time. After years of dealing with that issue, I discovered the best advice for anyone who wants to write anything.
Write as no one will read. Write what is on your mind, and then you will think about it later. Later you can repair, save, delete, whatever you want. Don't think about what will be. Go for what comes to you without thinking about the meaning or what someone will say about it. That will free the endless knowledge and ideas that your unconscious mind holds.

I'm trying to avoid it, but when I get stuck, I pick up a some book with stories (zen, children, fairy tales, taoistic, inspirational ...) and after 2-3 stories the blockage disappears.
