  1. #WorldOfOntyre 15

    I was slapped. With an idea. An awful, wonderful idea, yet still don’t know what it means or how it’ll manifest.

    Yet, there it is.

    It actually sprouted from a 2015 short story where its suggested that a myth is true. It pops up a couple of times in other stories, but I’ve never explored it more than that.

    Might this new story under development be the time? It’s possible.

    Be everwell.

    Locations are mentioned in a prompt today, and that applies to me.

    As I slowly develop a new Pannulus Mystery while editing a Kovenlore novel, I’ve graduated to addressing the primary location (I have the opening one).

    I think I know the where, but now must come the details: culture, people, sights, etc.. It’s the backdrop “character” that supports all others.

    Be everwell.

    I’ll admit that my covers aren’t spectacular, though they do have catchy elements.

    Oddly, the one element that was unintentional is how the eyes (Riparia’s eyes) in the title trick the viewer. At least, they do me.

    If I focus on them, my eyes attempt to create a face out of the map background. After making a mock first cover, I knew I had to keep the feature.

    Be everwell.

  12. #WritersCoffeeClub JUL-18 Talk about how a work progressed from its initial inspiration. How different was it in the end?

    When I started writing #SoulBearerLegacy, I didn't intend it, but it got clearer that this can't be just this one story (novella) but has to be a trilogy (the #SoulBearer trilogy). The story of the soul bearers and the surrounding fantasy world couldn't be described in just one story.

  13. #WritersCoffeeClub JUN-06 How do you write about places you’ve never been?

    Yes and no. For High Fantasy ( #SoulBearerLegacy) and Science Fiction ( #Unmodeled), sure.

    For contemporary literature, I either write about places, I know (Hamburg, Germany ( #ExGayHusband) and Anchorage, Alaska ( #SubconsciousMind))

  14. #WritersCoffeeClub DEC-10 Do you set out to write a series of a certain number of books?

    I once tried that with the #SoulBearer trilogy, starting with #SoulBearerLegacy and having a new protagonist for each novel, but the community I posted in lost interest in reading stories in general, so I stopped posting the last chapters of the first as well as not posting the first chapters of the second part of the series, I had already started writing

  15. #PhantastikPrompts DEC-13 Was ist die glücklichste Erinnerung deiner Figur?

    Ich wüsste keine konkrete Erinnerung, aber die Erinnerung involviert sehr wahrscheinlich Balias besten Freund Jett.

  16. CW: #WritersCoffeeClub NOV-1 | #SoulBearer spoilers

    #WritersCoffeeClub NOV-17 Have you ever written anything where the POV shifts partly through to a new MC?

    #SoulBearerLegacy, the first part of a trilogy introduces us to the concept of soul bearers, people who take souls of dead people who they then can talk to and might get guidance from. When they in turn die, said soul leaves them and their own soul can be taken by a soul bearer.

  17. #WordWeavers Oct-31 Do the wishes / lives of any people who’ve died influence your MC’s choices?

    The whole concept of #SoulBearerLegacy is built around that: When Balia finds Alexander, he is dying. He takes his soul and he is with her from then on, giving her advice and being annoying at times.

  18. #WritersCoffeeClub 11 Do you consider any of your work to be unfilmable?

    Not per se. It's all a matter of budget.

    I would shoot the #SoulBearer trilogy in #TheVolume/ #Stagecraft™️ due to it being fantasy and therefore requiring quite some VFX shots. Later scenes of #FindingMe take place in the future. #MichaelAndLucas probably never gets completed.

  19. #PennedPossibilities 404 — Have you ever mixed a foreign language into your writing? Which one?

    I had characters in the #SoulBearer trilogy fantasy world speak different fantasy languages at times, though, too few words that I would consider them #conLang|s

  20. #WritersCoffeeClub JUL-16 Theme> Is there an overriding theme to your WIP? What is it?

    #SoulBearer tries to advertise for not loosing one's curiosity and openness in the wake of evil

    #amWriting #ZuriStories #SoulBearerLegacy #amWritingFantasy

  21. #WritersCoffeeClub JUL-14 Where is your WIP set? Why did you choose this setting? Describe your world-building.

    #SoulBearer is set in a fantasy world. Balia, the protagonist, happens to live in a part of that world whose language has Latin influences. On her journey, she meets a #TwoSpirit, whose culture is based on Nepali culture.
    I wanted a rich and diverse world that my protagonist can explore and learn from

  22. #WordWeavers JUL-02 What is the biggest sacrifice your MC is ready to make?

    In #SoulBearerLegacy, Balia is about to take her grandmother's soul, but then is urged by her best friend to take the soul of the recently fallen soldier Alexander, even though, taking a soul of a non-family member is looked down upon, even considered impossible to do at all.

  23. So yesterday's plan to be organized and productive was smacked down by a day-long migraine.

    Here's hoping today goes better, Mastodonians. My task-list is in the hashtags 😜.

  24. #WordWeavers MAR-14 What role does ethnicity play in your world?

    Balia's world doesn't mix a lot, but during the course of her journey we meet different ethnic groups with their own language, architecture and beliefs (all loosely modelled after real ones).
