Rückblick und Schreibpläne

Das Jahr 2022 neigt sich dem Ende zu und es wird Zeit für einen Rückblick. Ich muss sagen, dass es für mich insgesamt ein sehr schönes Schreibjahr war, da ich mich sehr von meinem Herzen habe leiten lassen in der Frage, welche Projekte ich schreibe. Das hat dazu geführt, dass ich nicht immer an den …

Mein Krimi erscheint

Fast ein halbes Jahr ist seit dem letzten Update vergangen und wir befinden und in der Mitte von 2022. Das Wichtigste zuerst: Mein Krimi "Dunkles Flüstern" wird tatsächlich im Herbst im Traumtänzer Verlag erscheinen, worüber ich mich unglaublich freue. Mehrere von mir sehr geschätzte Autor*innen haben bereits dort veröffentlicht, unter anderem Leann Porter und Svea …

Rückblick und Pläne

Das neue Jahr hat begonnen und ich nehme mir heute die Zeit für einen kleinen Rückblick und auch dafür, meine Pläne für das neue Jahr zu sortieren. Das letzte Jahr ist für mich ein großer Schritt passiert, denn mein Fantasy Roman „Der dreizehnte Prinz“ ist im Uthruban Verlag erschienen. Der ganze Prozess war äußerst spannend …

Why I go Outside

Writing is supposed to be a hobby or profession you can practice well by staying inside at your desk. You can also contact other writers online, join writing streams, and be on social media to talk with readers and writers. So, technically it is not necessary to leave your desk if you want to write …

Writing Update April 2021

It’s time for another writing update. At the moment, I’m taking part in Camp Nano with my project “Murder and Pumpkin Spice” the second installment of my gay crime series.

My Bulletjournal

If you’re not a full-time writer, you need a functioning system to plan your writing process. With all the other tasks you have in your life, it may otherwise just fall short. At least, that is the case for me. I’m a person who likes to plan their days and weeks in advance, simply because …

The Villain’s Journey

I’ve often said that for me the most important element in a good story are the characters. I read a lot of genres. As long as I’m able to identify with the characters, almost everything they do is interesting for me. That’s not to say that a good plot isn’t also important. Because in the …

Finding your Muse (getting motivated)

My writing group (wordandshield on Instagram) talked about the topic of motivation in our Livestream this week. I thought it might be interesting to share some of our ideas and insights.Almost every writer I know struggles with motivation sometimes. While we love and enjoy writing as such it is often difficult to get started. It …

Why can’t I write? – Self-doubts

A while ago self-doubt was a constant companion of my writing process. Writing was always part of my life but for a long time, I felt like what I wrote was only good enough for myself and a few close friends to read. Publishing anything apart from fanfiction seemed like a goal that was impossible …

My 2020

I don’t think anyone would disagree with me saying 2020 was a difficult and draining year on many levels. I believe that it is still important to also see the positive things that have happened in one’s personal life and not just file it away as a dark year. These things may be small compared …
