Gute Nacht, Freunde.

No writing. The wall in my mind did not come down. Yes, I had the file open. sigh

I did read more romance and really enjoyed how the author weaves her stories together in her own world. Fun jokes, like cameos and song lyrics showing up in both series.

I can't see any overlap between my worlds, but even so, that was a fun thing to see.

I hope I can break down my block this weekend. I want to write Sun.

Gute Nacht, Freunde.

Wrote 400 words for Sun today, and I am very happy with that. Hope many more will follow this weekend.

I did get some downloads from Writer Brain for book #9, Spirit Sings. That was a bit of a motivation, as well. Things will get a little more complicated than I thought, but I like the added layer. (Yes, vague, sorry.)

Very tired tonight, will read a bit and crawl into bed.

Integrating notebooks. I make a habit of periodically reviewing the snippets of thoughts that I’ve jotted down over the years — editing, revising & releasing ideas/concepts. The Muse sometimes sends messages we don’t fully comprehend in the moment, which is why I capture whatever I can.

Gute Nacht, Freunde!

Slow day. Day job at the office, groceries on my way home, reading yet another book of the series I'm binging.

Finding it hard to let go of Sky - want to see him soar. But I need to shift over into Sun's mind and tell his story. He's very different from Sky.

For one, he doesn't really have a good grip on his powers thanks to a certain relationship in his House. For two, he's much more upset that he admits even to himself. Fun stuff.

7/2 Complete this phrase: I write because…

... the stories in my head become too loud if I don't.

Although recently they haven't been loud, and I miss that more than I want to admit.

Gute Nacht, Freunde.

Very exhausted today, so I curled up with books. First my new romance series I'm binging (one a day), and then... (this is embarrassing) I read my own West Flows.

Because I love West. ❤️

Anyway, going to crawl off to bed now. Wish I could get myself unblocked.

Gute Nacht, Freunde.

Not much writing. I read a new series which will probably become comfort books. Always great to discover a new author.

I'll run another game tomorrow for the @BookBirthdayParty. And I'll pick a winner from today's game.

Still recovering from the launch and all the hope I put into that.

Tomorrow is a new day.

Gute Nacht, Freunde.

Didn't do much today, still recovering. Maybe I'll celebrate my a little more tomorrow, just didn't have the brainspace today.

Did some chores, read an intense romance, lazed around.

Needed that.

Tomorrow, I'll write some Sun.

Gute Nacht, Freunde.

Today, I did a lot of the nitty-gritty that has to happen after publishing a book.

I added more links to the B2R link, most importantly the link to the print version on Amazon (yes, that's live now, as well).

https://books2read.com/SkyPillarsEmpire

Fixed a few more typos.

Updated my website, added the new book, wrote a blog post, updated images, cleaned up things.

And then I caved and read a new romance. That was good.

Gute Nacht, Freunde!

Thank you, all of you, who made my Release Day for Sky just wonderful. ❤️

It was a busy day - day job, meeting a friend online, participating in a march (5k people despite the rain and a bus strike!), and somehow fixing a formatting error and uploading files again.

Also big hugs for my fans, I appreciate you so much! 😍

I'll sleep in tomorrow, and then I'll turn to Sun and write his story (Sun Burns, Pillars of the Empire 3).

Gute Nacht, Freunde.

No writing.

But I got the cover for Sky Falls and that meant uploading the book (and handling categories and keywords and nudging Google a few times).

I'm exhausted.

I can promise the link to the new book tomorrow, even though it won't yet be in all the stores - some can take up to three days, so please be patient.

All the celebrating will happen tomorrow.

211 — Where does your MC draw inspiration in life? What motivates them?

Well, Sky really does not want to die. (That's pretty strong motivation, I think.)

Next, he wants to see the world, he wants to learn all about it, and he wants to keep finding out more things about his power.

He's such a curious person with an almost scientific mind (not that the term exists in his world).

Sky Falls, Pillars of the Empire 2
(very soon!)

Gute Nacht, Freunde!

Had some inspiration for Penumbra 2, and I read through what I have of Sun Burns, which is the book after Sky. It's good, but I need a bit more plot.

Spent time migrating my MailerLite account, so I can keep sending email. And I'm fiddling with that authentication thing for email that's new in February. Gah!

Once I have that done, I'm hopefully out of Frazzletown. I really want to get back to just writing.

1/29 - Did you write stories when you were a kid?

Yes, I did.

They were basically fanfiction of Karl May characters, with some added fantasy. I still have one, written on tiny pages in scribbles.

Until about 20 years ago, fanfiction was what I wrote. And then Writer Brain sat up and said: We do this now.

I'm on book 30-something.

Gute Nacht, Freunde.

Took care of one more frazzling thing today (yes, even though it's Sunday), read through what I have of the spicy shifter story and realized it still needs quite a few more chapters.

shoves it to the backburner again

(We'll see what Writer Brain says about that...)

And since I promised, I did format Sky tonight. I think it looks good, but see for yourself below.

Gute Nacht, Freunde.

Not a very productive day, to be honest. Still in recovery after that insane week.

But I went out to listen to speeches on the town hall square, on Holocaust Memorial Day here in Germany. About 15,000 were there, as well.

I spent the rest of the day reading, playing my game and resting. I have quite the agenda for tomorrow, so wish me luck.

Two more frazzling things to take care of, and then I'll be done with January. Rough month.
