Sooo, this vacation wasn't planned as a writer's retreat, but ice and snow kinda forced me to.
I'm done with proofreading #FridaVonHameln. Will start translating next. And Emily came through with two beautiful pictures.

I must admit, I love them. I truly wish I could draw like her.

Thank you!

Dear all!

I'm planning to return after my break - maybe after the holidays, maybe in January.

You know I love hashtags games. Any idea which ones are planned? Will these go on: #WIPSnips #FantasyIndiesDezember #DezemberWorldbuilders?

Or any other cool suggestions I should add to my list?

Dear all!
I'm thinking about taking some time off from this. Got a new story to write and lots of pre-holidays stuff to attend to. So, if I'm quiet, that's why.

Meanwhile, many of my books will be part of Smashwords End of Year Sale. You find all links here:

thanks!

“Did you ever go to school?” she asked. “When your mom was alive?” “No,” he said curtly. It cut too close. “She taught me some when I was younger, but I forgot most of it… later on. Other things were more important.” “But you do know how to read and write.” “Indeed.” He smirked again. “I do know the difference between me and sin as well.” “No offense, but I mostly associate obscene amounts of chocolate with sin.” This time, she smirked as well. “You don’t stand a chance in comparison.”

you betcha!

Luckily, people like Cyn can catch wild dreams. And solvers like Lys can even eradicate them

Reading the #NovemberWorldbuilders skeets, I wonder who on Earth ever thought that having such a low character limit per post here on Bluesky was ever a good idea 🤪

The Impact, the Days of Chaos are recent. But I haven't yet talked about the technology that enabled people to witness someone else's dreams. First, it was used in trauma therapy, then entertainment industry seized it, and then it got out of control.

The Impact is still the most legendary event if this past. Official version is that the fragments of a meteor hit Earth after a failed attempt to change its course.
The truth, however...

Titles?

Usually, a title evolves while I'm writing the story. Sometimes, I also brainstorm with friends, tossing ideas.

In the case of #ChasingWildDreams I wanted to call it Dream Chasers or Wild Dream Chasers first, but that title was taken. So, it became this instead.

#NovemberWorldbuilders 26

Oh, there are so many lies- starting with the Impact and continuing with the wild dreams...

But Cyn and Lys are about to find out [spoiler]
