#ScribesAndMakers 15/03: Is the time you've had for creativity this month what you expected?
I haven't truly been creative this month. Pesky life.
However, the German Version of #FridaVonHameln is live on Amazon (and for free for 5 days). I'll eek out what I can from KDP select before going wide next quarter.
That's something. Frida is out there.
And I even got my websites up to date, including the research about the pied piper!

#WritersCoffeeClub 3/15. Talk about an experience you had sharing your writing with a group.
I did that once. Read out the first few pages of #OfElvesAndWolves to people who were kind but had been total strangers three weeks ago. It was exhilarating. It was nerve-racking.
They liked it. Some even bought the book and had me sign it. So it was, in retrospect, a good thing.
I'm not sure I could ever do it again.

#PennedPossibilities 957 — Does your MC have or wear a signature color?
Frida is a craftswoman in a medieval town. She's dressed in browns and beige modt of the time.

#PennedPossibilities 956 — With whom is your SC’s most important relationship?
Lutz' most important relationship is with his brother Theo.
Gunda would say it is Thiloman, but in truth, it's Frida.
Arnold would claim it's his wife Trine, but would grumbling admit that he likes his sisters better. Maybe his son and heir, Arne

#WordWeavers 14. Is selling your work for money important to you when you write?
When I write, I couldn't care less.
But when I fill out my tax statement, I'd like to see some on the plus side and not all eaten away by bureaucracy and covers.
Sigh. Just did my tax statement last week.

#WritersCoffeeClub March 14. Do you think readers want new experiences in structure or narrative, or do they prefer what's familiar?
I don't think we can generalize this. It depends on the reader, the story, the mood. Also, too familiar is boring, but to experimental may be too foreign.
I can't even say what I'd prefer in this very moment except that both extremes are not for me.

Ok, I've decided to let Frida fly - first the German version, start tomorrow, if all goes to plan. English translation is almost done but needs a little more tlc.
Also, even though it doesn't quite sit right with me, I will enroll the books in kdp select for a quarter, just to see how they'll perform. Afterward, it's going wide.
I'm all aware of the bro tech issue, but folks, I need to be able to pay for the covers.

#WritersCoffeeClub – 13 Mar. Talk about an experience when you consulted an expert for a piece of writing
For my debut novel, I needed to learn more about police work. I went to an open day at the local station and asked so many questions about the possibility to break out that the officer was looking at me strangely.
I had to tell him why in the end, and he got a mention in my afterword 😂

#WordWeavers 12 Mar: How could someone who knows your MC well console them after the last time you made them suffer?
Gunda's hugs do a lot for Frida, as well as Arnold's silent support. She can count on her siblings having her back.
Grief work needs to be done but having someone in your side helps a lot.

#WordWeavers 9 Mar: If you need to share an important piece of history/lore, what’s your approach that avoids info dumping?
If possible, through dialogue (teaching someone works best) or else in small sentences thrown in between.
"... as this was the way Queen X would have see it." (Hey, look! They was a Queen X with views!)
I gotta admit that I've done a bit of info dumping too in some stories, just to get it out of the way, but I try to keep that to the bare minimum.

#PennedPossibilities 952: How do you use social media as an author?
As an author? Only to chat with people here.
Once I publish something or run a promo, I use my accounts on IG, FB, Tiktok and Bluesky to promote.
But I have increasingly little interest and thus am doing badly.
Edit: Typos. What else

#WritersCoffeeClub 9. Do you prefer to write complex, intricate plots, or more straightforward ones?
I have done both. But as a p(l)antser, I do prefer the straightforward ones (with the unexpected twist if possible)

#WritersCoffeeClub 1, What is the fundamental goal you seek to achieve with your current WIP?
There is one.
First of all, as always, I tell the story of my characters. I don't retell the Pied Piper story. It's just the setting.
BUT I wanted to paint the time and the events of the Pied Piper of Hamlin without absurd horror, crime and such, but in a way it actually might have happened.
There are so many weird tries of explanation out there. I wanted to stick to the facts.
Does this make sense?

#PhantastikPrompts 27.02.
Was für ein Bild haben Deine Hauptfiguren von sich selbst und worin liegen sie dabei falsch?
Frida glaubt, sie ist alt und ihr Leben praktisch schon vorbei. Sie hat ihre große Liebe gehabt und verloren. Sie wird nicht noch mal heiraten und demzufolge auch keine lebendigen Kinder haben. Und sie ist sittsam.
Tja.

#WordWeavers 27/2: Which of your characters do you find especially interesting? Why?
All who have a background story. And the more hidden that story is at first, the more interesting the character. It's hard to choose, but I believe Leander of #AlsterDiamonds takes the pick, poor tortured soul.

#WritersCoffeeClub 2/27. Do you edit while you write? What are the pros and cons?
I have done both. Mostly,I edit whole I write,fix little typos, change some scenes to make them fit the plot later on. This way,it feels like the story is naturally growing.
However, I have experienced this near-manic episodes where all I can do is write, just to keep up with the story, and only look at it later on, when my brain has cleared. Both ways are fine, but the first seems to generate the better stories.

#PennedPossibilities 943 — Can you think of any real-life people who share traits with the characters in your WIP? How do these similarities affect your perception of the characters?
I steal certain traits and mix them up. I do this especially with antagonists. Both Dietrich from #FridaOfHamelin & Conrad from #AlsterDiamonds react in certain situations as I have seen real people react. I try to understand their motifs and then use this. It doesn't make them villains, but I don't really like 'em

#ScribesAndMakers 26/2: Do you abandon creative projects? If so, how do determine when to abandon them?
What is the difference between being abandoned and on hold?
I got socks that need knitting for some 15 years, I got drawings I haven't touch in 5 years, I got stories and ideas that just simmer for ever and ever.
I guess, I only throw something out for good once I realize I will never touch this again and I do no need the space for whatever reason.

#WritersCoffeeClub Feb 26 — Does your current WIP have an antagonist? Why or why not?
Yes, but he is an antagonist, not a villain. He has reasons which might be understandable from his point of view.
And if he didn't exist, the story would be super boring.

#WordWeavers 26/2: Who in your book is most like a real person you’ve loved IRL?
I don't work like that. I'm more of a Dr. Frankenstein of characters.

#Phantastikprompts 26.02.: Wie organisierst du deine Recherchen/ Lore/ Hintergründe? Hast du ein System, das du empfehlen kannst?
Ordnersystem für downloads plus ein Übersichtsdocument für alle text notes. Das ist formatiert mit Überschriften und inhaltsverzeichnis (Polizik, Hausbau, Kleidung)
Excelsheet für alle Personen mit Daten und Alter Berechnungen je nach Timeline
Und sobald ich schreibe, Fußnoten für Quellen und Cross-Info. Teilweise lasse ich die auch drin (bei historischen stories)

#WordWeavers 25/2: How is light created in your book? Candles, electricity, magic, or what?
The majority is daylight, followed by tallow lights. Candles exist but are expensive and for the rich.
Electricity exists but no one has discovered it (or how to use it) yet.

#WritersCoffeeClub 25/2: What’s a unique habit you have while writing?
I guess it's not unique to drink lots of coffee.
Or is it???

#ScribesAndMakers 25 Feb: Would you stream your creative process/ the creation of your work? Why or why not?
No.
Reason no.1
It'd be super boring to watch someone hack away on a keyboard, with the occasional snort, mumbling and gazing into space.
Reason no.2:
I value my privacy way too much

#PennedPossibilities 941 — MC POV: Name one thing you lied to yourself about. Why did you do this?
Frida?
"I told myself that as an elder women, I need to watch over Marek and guide his steps towards the girls and his future. That is what society expects of me. Anything else would be irresponsible of an elderly widow."

#PhantastikPrompts 25.2. Wer hat die Umschlaggestaltung/Coverart deiner Bücher erstellt?
Teils, teils. #KurvenDerZeit war ich es selbst, bei #FridaVonHameln habe ich das Bild von Emily Anderson zeichnen lassen. Ich versuche es immer erst selbst, aber bei Frida habe ich einfach nichts gefunden,und deshalb musste Geld fließen.
