Born and still living in north Iceland in 1982, Elí divides his spare time between the gym, the swimming pool, video games, walks, reading, baking and writing about himself in the third person.
His first fantasy novel was published in Iceland in 2011, followed by a self-published one each year. In 2015 he finished translating the first of a trilogy into English and published online.
And that's how history was made.

I know it's daunting to look at all that empty space that needs to be turned into a novel, but you just have to get started. No-one is going to write for you, and you will only learn to write by doing it.
Be willing to rewrite, find a balance between listening to your beta readers and going with your instinct, and above absolutely everything else: Be patient. You are embarking on a long journey. Bring sandwiches.(less)

The new Doctor (Who)

So, the Doctor's next incarnation will be played by a woman, and certain dank, dark corners of the internet are upset about that.

Well, boo hoo.

I think we all know how these sectors will react when the next season rolls around: Misogynistic snowflakes are going to lose their shit online over every little thing that they perceive as being the slightest bit negative towards any male character (neverm Read more of this blog post »

SciFi and Fantasy...: What Are You Reading 2016 Edition 1538 1082 Jan 07, 2017 12:27PM  
J.R.R. Tolkien
“I have in this War a burning private grudge—which would probably make me a better soldier at 49 than I was at 22: against that ruddy little ignoramus Adolf Hitler (for the odd thing about demonic inspiration and impetus is that it in no way enhances the purely intellectual stature: it chiefly affects the mere will). Ruining, perverting, misapplying, and making for ever accursed, that noble northern spirit, a supreme contribution to Europe, which I have ever loved, and tried to present in its true light.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien

Hunter S. Thompson
“We are all wired into a survival trip now. No more of the speed that fueled that 60's. That was the fatal flaw in Tim Leary's trip. He crashed around America selling "consciousness expansion" without ever giving a thought to the grim meat-hook realities that were lying in wait for all the people who took him seriously... All those pathetically eager acid freaks who thought they could buy Peace and Understanding for three bucks a hit. But their loss and failure is ours too. What Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole life-style that he helped create... a generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old-mystic fallacy of the Acid Culture: the desperate assumption that somebody... or at least some force - is tending the light at the end of the tunnel.”
Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream
