I finished my story. My first real book.
270 DIN-A4 pages.
Finished typing it today.
Baby's name is "Kopfgeburt", which can be translated as "Brainchild".

Let's see if I can sum it up without spoiling too much:

Basically it's about the nice and naive Private Eye Alexander Falk who wants to be like Humphrey Bogart, but the time of cool guys in trench-coats is long gone.
Although Alex fulfills all required clichés, things aren't going like they're supposed to, referring to his beloved detective stories.
Moreover, he finds a journal, where everything is written down that has happened to him and even things that haven't happened yet.

The story also includes a gynaecologist, a tarsier, a travelling circus, a sanatorium, a Christmas ball and some other mad ideas.

At least in my head, it all makes sense... Now I need patient people (who are capable of the German language) to read it who can tell me if it makes sense to them too. Any volunteers?
