#FantasyIndiesSpooktober 1 Introduction I'm choosing #TheSpiritChapters to play with this month, mainly #SpiritChase, in which shade Cami and incubus Lior have to team up to save ... well, not the world, but their loved ones, at least. #booksy #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

So, for #OctoberWorldbuilders, I'm choosing #TheSpiritChapters as my featured story since I don't think I can work much on #Kyznon. Main cast: Cami, a shade, and Lior, an incubus. Regarding question 1: Mesa Roja is a place in the desert they visit, with quite unforeseen inhabitants.

#TimeTravelAuthors 1 Introduction Meet Jules and Vera - the boy who keeps dying and the girl he mistakenly sucked along - discovering they have a lot more in common than just being of the same age. A peek through the times is already possible. Might travel be too? #TimeCurves

#TimeTravelAuthors #Day1 My name's Rocky. I'm a teenage prodigy, computer genius, and epic wingman. Wanna hear how I helped some guy try to save the life of a doomed hologram? Read Titanic Voyage. books2read.com/TV Or don't read it. Whatever. I'm not your mom.

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 30 Tropes? Honestly, I like books that break with traditional tropes. I've read to many enemies-to-lovers, too many hero's-journey. Gimme friends-to-lovers, found-family, unusual constellation... #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

#TimeTravelAuthors 29 Yeah, I'm ashamed how often I missed the peompt this month. I am AGAIN a day late. I hope to do better next month. But for those who'd like to take a look: Links to all stores where my book is available can be found here: anderlandbooks.com/re/#time #TimeCurves

#FantasyIndiesSeptember 30 Monthly wrap-up: It was okayish. I will travel a lot next month and might not be able write. Thus, I'm thinking of introducing you to a story that is already done and published. I hope that's ok! #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

Announcing #PlotTober, a WIP plotting prompt game for the month of October! Here is a preview of the full list of prompts. I will post each individual prompt daily at midnight EST for participants to quote repost. #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompt #WritingQ #AmWriting #WriteSky

#FantasyIndiesSeptember 29 MC introvert, extrovert, ambivert? In this case, it's easy. Kyz is definitely an introvert. #Kyznon #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 29 The latest story I read was A Goblin's Plight by Hannah Steenbock. A wonderful fantasy world! @firlefanz.writing.exchange.ap.brid.gy Highly recommended!

#ScribesAndMakers - 29 Sept,. What is your proudest or best moment with your creative endeavour this month? When the audiobook of #DerGeistInBrand narrated by Max Müller was done - and then went live. What an awesome collaboration! www.audible.de/pd/B0FRNNXQD...

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 28 Magic associated with light/darkness Teilin is a light master - in the physic's sense of way. She can bend light, thereby disappear or caste illusions. Very handy skill when you're on the run. #Kyznon #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

#FantasyIndiesSeptember 28 What stage is my WIP in? Welllllll... I've written 110k and this is the first time they get a glimpse of the antagonist. I'm still very much in the let's-see-how-this-goes phase. After 110k. Yup. #Kyznon #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

#TimeTravelAuthors Sep 27 (again a day late!! Missed so many prompts this month... aahh!) Saturday snippet: pleasant First time Vera takes a peek through time #TimeCurves #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts anderlandbooks.com/re/time

#WritersCoffeeClub - 28 Sept. Have you ever added to a work after it was ‘finished’? Finished = published? No. Only corrected typos and grammar mistakes that slipped through editing. And for not published? If I add to a work, it's not finished.

#WritersCoffeeClub - 27 How do you support your fellow writers? By reading their books. By buying their books. By cheering them on. By offering a shoulder when things are rough. By bouncing ideas and giving constructive feedback. I beta read several stories. I want to be as supportive as I can.

#PretendPanel 26 My favorite character? Lucie of #OfElvesAndWolves She's brave, loyal and sweet. She's my favorite for many reasons. Close second is Noel of the same series - because he undergoes a lot of character development. #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

#FantasyIndiesSeptember 26 Something I'm looking forward to? Well, today's my birthday, so I'm looking forward to celebrating tonight 😀 With regard to #Kyznon - I look forward to the moment I know this story's gonna work. Not there yet. #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 26 The darkest place my cast has visited so far is the Wormholz, a primeval forest heavy with wild magic and dangerous beasts. Most people go insane if they spend too much time in the shade beneath the old trees. #Kyznon #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 25 Sources of light mostly have to do with fire. There's no electricity. Some plants or mushroom may emit light, and Teilin can twist it - but she can't make it. #Kyznon #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

#FantasyIndiesSeptember 25 Favorite subject in school? There are no schools in Tavar. But if Kyz were to go to school in my country, he'd choose physics. Laws of aerodynamics and such like, important for a bird shifter! #Kyznon #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 24 Darkness? Njut is the goddess of the night. In general, darkness equals danger - simply because people can't see well. #Kyznon #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

#FantasyIndiesSeptember 23 Grammar rule? English & German have very different rules. The one that might catch me most when switching between languages is the different punctuation regarding direct speech. The one I'm most likely to deliberately break is the strict English sequence of words.

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 23 The sun comes to mind. Sôl in Tavari, Sulkahr in Nkahri - the sun goddess rules over the pantheon. Most women call to her in times of need, while men often prefer the moon god Lûn. #Kyznon #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 22 Worst time Kyz felt lost was when the old master was killed and he and Zuryn were abducted. Terrible times. But he also always feels quite lost whenever either Naynah or Shyu confront him with his feelings. #Kyznon #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

#FantasyIndiesSeptember 22 What type of book would your MC write? Kyznon'd write action & adventure. Or ... he could surprise all and write romance. That would be way out of his comfort zone right now, but I'm not done with him yet. #Kyznon #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

#TimeTravelAuthors 21 Sep: How sincere are your characters? Uhm. They're teenagers. They are doing their best 😂 #TimeCurves #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

#WritersCoffeeClub 22 Sep. What have you discovered about yourself through your writing? That I can write a book. And that projects are my best way of working. Jump in, give it all, finish, and let go. Next project. I'm not a do-the-same-stuff-forever kind of person.

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 21 Sailors play a role in changing the path of my two bards and their two guards. It is a sailor who abducts Shyu. And it is the boat's captain of the second ship who tells Kyz and Naynah about the emperor. #Kyznon #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

#FantasyIndiesSeptember 21 Honestly, the only wisdom I can impart is Have fun! If you enjoy what you're doing, if you love your stories, it is never a waste of time. #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

#FantasyIndiesSeptember 20 He was baffled that she thought he couldn't agree to their plans. And then he was baffled that he was so ready to agree to them that he hadn't even thought about alternatives. What was the point? He knew his mind was made up. "Let's go to Uru'tryk," he said. #Kyznon

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 20 MC been to the Ocean? Yep. Following the abduction of Shyu, all of them travel across the sea. Kyz and Naynah's voyage is quite eventful, too. #Kyznon #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

#PhantastikTalk 20.9. Es ist online! #DerGeistinBrand, eingesprochen von Max Müller, ist bei audible verfügbar! Ick freu mir so! Wenn jemand Hörbücher mag... 😁 www.audible.de/pd/B0FRNNXQD... #Buchsky #Hörbuch #Historisch #Buch

#WordWeavers 20: How does society think about nature and its protection? It's a pre-industrial society with magic elements. Nature is there and not defenseless As long as it doesn't attack one, all is fine. #Kyznon

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 19 Fact about my world's ocean? It separates the continents Tavar and Nkahr, and whenever there's a storm, wild magic runs amok. Not a good place to be, in that case. #Kyznon #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

#TimeTravelAuthors 19 Reference to other time travel works? Yes. Back To The Future would have been impossible in this universe, as Jules tries to explain to Vera. #TimeCurves #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

#FantasyIndiesSeptember 18 Power hungry characters? That would be the emperor. It's his umpteenth attempt to gain power. He's failed before because he doesn't grasp how important freedom is for people. Will he fail again? #Kyznon #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

#WritersCoffeeClub Sep 18: Have you written something blasphemous? Tell us about it. Quite sure I have written things that others find blasphemous. But I often find religious teachings blasphemous to core human principles, too. It's all a matter of perspective, I guess. And of values.

#TimeTravelAuthors Sep 17 Strange, he hadn’t thought about the girl ever since. But it was no wonder she popped up in his mind now. This was a small town, with only one school. Unless she was homeschooled, which he somehow doubted, he would eventually run into her. That was a disturbing thought.

#WritersCoffeeClub Sep 17: Should modern writers worry about proving their work is not generated by an LLM? I'm not. I have countless support docs and backups to prove I did it myself. But who'd ask? Most people care whether a story is good, not how it was produced. Sad truth: Nobody's gonna ask.

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 17 Ocean animal? I have none, so far. But if I ever do, it will be a giant serpent like Jörmungandr 😁 #Kyznon #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 16 Ocean deities? Got a few this time. Orrukh, who reigns over the deep sea. Miraath, goddess of the tides. And of course Vishka, who brings the storm. Those are their Nkahri names. If need be, I might make up Tavari ones as well. #Kyznon #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

#WritersCoffeeClub 16 September. What was the hardest writerly lesson for you to learn? Or unlearn? Not everything I know is important for the reader to know. And unlearn? I was only taught by the books I read: The typical stereotypes I grew up with that I had to recognize as stereotypes first.

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 15 Seaside scene? Shyu and Teilin visit the harbor in Omhaven to find out whether this emperor exists ... and poor Shyu says and sings the wrong thing at the wrong time. And Teilin can't save him (yet) #Kyznon #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

#TimeTravelAuthors Sep 15 Miracles? No, not really. There certainly isn't any divine intervention. It's all science (albeit very, very advanced science 😅) #TimeCurves #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

#TimeTravelAuthors #WIPSnips #writingPrompts please, people, if you post screenshots of your snippets, use ALT text. It's really not hard, just cluck on the ALT symbol of a picture, copy paste the text from your story, and many more people can enjoy it (especially if the writing is small...)

#WordWeavers Sep 15: Do any of your characters create any form of art? Shyu and Naynah are bards. When they perform without restraint, people surrender to the conveyed emotions. When they sing in perfect harmony, magic happens.

#WritersCoffeeClub Sep 15: How do your immediate surroundings influence your work? In the good way: Inspirations lay everywhere. In the bad way: When I'm uncomfortable and someone keeps blabbing, I can't write. However, a good seat and noise canceling earphones usually take care of that.

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 14 Cultural dish? Sigh. This entire week made me realize that food plays such a small role in my world. Nope, I don't have a cultural dish either. But now I think I might invent one ... #Kyznon #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts
