#PennedPossibilities 1149: Think of a choice your MC made. How did it lead to where and who they are now?
Timothy made the decision to support Heather when the leadership of his pack changed.
It has now led him into massive conflict with the former second-in-command. It may lead to pain in the near future.
But since this is one of my books, there will be happiness in the end.

Was ist das Beste, was dir als Autor*in je passiert ist?
Zu Mastodon zu gehen und FB hinter mir zu lassen.
Hier habe ich wunderbare Menschen getroffen. Einige sind zu wichtigen Freunden geworden, andere habe meine Bücher gefunden und sind Fans im besten Sinne.
Und @Ardeija und @PetraHartmann haben wunderbare Rezis für meine Bücher verfasst.
Das wäre anderswo nicht passiert - ich danke euch und allen hier!
#WritersCoffeeClub 10/5. What haunts the narrative of your current work?
Unrequited love.

#PennedPossibilities 1148: Is your favorite genre to read also your favorite one to write?
I write in a genre adjacent to what I prefer to read. This wasn't always so.
I used to read and write fantasy adventures, used to enjoy the thrill of a new book.
These day, I don't deal well with thrill and tension anymore. So I read mostly romantasy, where a happy ending is guaranteed.
It seems that my writing is also slowly moving in that direction, at least with my Wolves.
#ScribesAndMakers 10/5 Excluding unfinished work, what's the longest it has taken you to complete a project?
Years.
Can't really be specific, there are several books that took my years to write. (Moon is just one example.)
And then there are finished books that I haven't published. Or that are just missing a chapter or two.
It's part of my writing life. I sometimes can't write much for months or even years.

Hast du Autor*innen als Vorbild? Erzähle uns von ihnen.
Viele, wobei ich schon an meinem eigenen Stil arbeite.
Aber ich mag Rosemary Sutcliff und wie sie erzählt. Definitiv ein Vorbild.
Für Marketing und Strategie? Kris Rusch, Lindsay Buroker, Jocelynn Drake, Anthea Sharpe, und noch viele andere. Ich schaue mir an, wie sie vorgehen und lerne dazu.
