The last week plus today wrecked me in terms of temperatures. It‘s currently raining since almost two hours—the relief is indescribable (but measurable: from 31 to 22°C). And now I read in the weather forecast, that the misery repeats itself two weeks later!? No! 😳😭 #WritingCommunity

It's raining! 😍 #WritingCommunity

Time for the best part of the day. #WritingCommunity #WritingTime #BookSky #MusicSky #TwoStepsFromHell #ThomasBergersen

You won't believe it, but the temperature drops. Even with tiny steps—it drops. Something I haven't seen at this time for some days. I will be so relieved, when this hellish week ends. Coming up tomorrow: heavy rain and thunderstorms. 😆 #WritingCommunity

After forty revised pages I'm done for today. Now some chilled cherries. 😋 #WritingCommunity #WritingTime #BookSky

And now police sirens. Headphones...headphones... ah, found them! (According to the noises the students make, they're pretty drunk. Sounds like they're training Foley. 😂) #WritingCommunity #WritingTime #BookSky

Lots of honking plus loud conversations/laughing from the dormitory... where are my headphones? 😳 #WritingCommunity #WritingTime #BookSky

Great markets with shouting merchants, ox carts, fruits, vegetables, bread and whatnot, full with market-goers. The noise and odors, pushing and shoving. I love to write them and to capture the vivid atmosphere. 🥰 #WritingCommunity #WritingTime #BookSky

Someday when this story is about to be published, I'll add a note like in package slips: -Read the story at least one time a day, accompanied with your favorite beverage, food and/or pet in a cosy environment. -No overdose possible. -Could lead to overflowing happiness. 🤭 #WritingCommunity #BookSky

This track is just... wonderful. #WritingCommunity #WritingTime #BookSky #MusicSky #Audiomachine

This story contains a snoring wolf. #JFYI 😂 #WritingCommunity #WritingTime #BookSky

And here they are! *drum roll* #WritingCommunity #WritingTime #BookSky #MusicSky #EdgarHopp

Almost forgot the washing outside (it's 9 pm and still 37°C 🥵). The glamorous #WritersLife, with a short real life break to take it down. If I was a bestselling author I would... nah, I would still do it myself, but buy looots of books. 😄 #WritingCommunity #WritingTime #BookSky

After my stomach's veto and now that I have a carafe with cold water beside me, I can finally start. #WritingCommunity #WritingTime #BookSky #MusicSky #EdgarHopp

And on we go. #WritingCommunity #WritingTime #HeatEdition #BookSky #MusicSky #LiquidCinema

Because it's insanely hot and get even hotter: There are many reminders to stay hydrated, but I have some people in my private sphere I care for, who are on meds, so keep an eye on the indoor temperatures if you use tablets, ointments, insulin etc. 1/2 #WritingCommunity #Health #HighTemperatures

Before my brain vaporizes ... #WritingTime #WritingCommunity #BookSky #MusicSky #TwoStepsFromHell #ThomasBergersen

You never know what happened to me today. I met a thirteen-week-old short-haired dachshund. That soft toe beens and fur. 🥰 He almost climbed up my forearm and gave me kisses, that enthusiastic, sweet little baby. #WritingCommunity #Dogs #LittleMiracles

A thirty minutes trip in a non-air-conditioned bus and you get a faint idea of how a roast chicken feels in the oven. 🥵 #WritingCommunity

Oh, these veggies. Ooooh! *wails* The sooner I begin the better. *sighs* 🙄 #WritingCommunity #HuntForSpellingErrors #Part2

Just made tiramisu. At least the dessert suits the weather. 😋 #WritingCommunity

If you're here in Europe right now, squashed under this merciless heat dome, you're probably pouring with sweat. That means you're losing water like a burst dam, & need to drink more water than usual to replace it. What happens if you DON'T do that? It's absolutely bloody terrifying. 1/

Whoever in my neighborhood cooks something that smells so delicous—stop it right now! I can't concentrate myself with a vainly tempted stomach. #WritingCommunity

Okay. Imagine this: Two experienced warriors stand horror-stricken there with their mouths agape and look at their war horses—who someone well-intentioned prettied-up. I see this scene right now before my mind's eye and hardly keep myself from laughing out loud. 🤣🤣🤣 #WritingCommunity

We have a yellow crescent moon tonight. A nice change while writing. Unless you look too many times out of the window to see it. 😄 #WritingCommunity

Writers! I’m curious - when you are writing, do you have a sense of how good or otherwise the work is? Can you tell if a particular book/story/poem is better or worse than any other piece you have produced?

It's so quiet outside like rarely before in the summer. You could hear a pin drop. Seems as if everybody is totally exhausted. Today it was 32°C in the shadow (my thermometer said nearly 40°, also in the shadow) and almost unbearable. We expect 35°C on Saturday. 😨 #WritingCommunity #HotTemperatures

Now that it cools down (just kidding, it's still 30°C outside at nearly 10 pm), it's #WritingTime. #WritingCommunity #BookSky #MusicSky #TwoStepsFromHell #ThomasBergersen

Once I made an avocado-chocolate cake filling. If it were a film scene, you would see this frames in short succession: 1. me, hitting the blending jar on the counter to gather it at the bottom 2. brown spots in my face 3. and on the ceiling (The cake was tasty. 😂) #WritingCommunity #BakingWriter

Q: What happens, when I find a moth and try to get it outside? A: It lands straight on my face. Of course I went to the balcony and "asked" it insistently to leave. Guess it would be too easy, to deal with something like this in a normal way. Like catch it and get it out. *sighs* #WritingCommunity

Everybody—really everybody—wants to be entertained. No matter how poor or rich, young or old, healthy or ill you are. Everybody. Period. There's a gigantic industry serving this desire. Maybe some of you remember what I shared a few days ago about "Hidden Figures". 1/4 #WritingCommunity

The autosave... Just when I quickly want to change a wording!!! #WritingCommunity #WritingTime #BookSky

this is, unfortunately, still extremely relevant!

A newly found notebook documenting Mozart’s lessons with a student includes seven previously unknown compositions. Listen to them here.

These water carafes I always thought I bought too many? I just broke one. They're still too many, but... *sighs and gets the vacuum cleaner* #WritingCommunity

Quick! What's the appropriate sacrifice to get some rain? Cake? Coffee? Chocolate? #WritingCommunity #HotTemperatures

Just had a look at the weather forecast and it was… unpleasant. Except one or two days, the hashtag of the next two weeks could be #StewedInTheOwnJuice. I have nothing against nice 25°C, but it‘s either freezing or hot enough to fry eggs on a car‘s roof. *shrugs* #WritingCommunity #ViaMedia

Page 100. Enough revision for today. #WritingCommunity #WritingTime #BookSky

And page 75. #WritingCommunity #WritingTime #BookSky

I'm quite sure, the characters who now follow the wolf on the stage, will be loved by everybody. True as steel, fierce fighters, humorous... a band of brothers and sisters, ready to give their lives for my prota. Briefly: the best friends you can wish for. 🥰 #WritingCommunity #WritingTime #BookSky

Aaand page 50! #WritingCommunity #WritingTime #BookSky

I hope you like wolves, because now a very special one enters the stage. #WritingCommunity #WritingTime #BookSky
