#WritersCoffeeClub 3/31 What are we celebrating regarding your writing this month?
I'm celebrating the release of my story "Speed Run" (starring West and Jeko) in the anthology "Horses are Magic", edited by @KitAuthor .
If you want to take a look, here's a universal link for you:

It's a fun little story with a very uncomfortable moment for Jeko. Heheheh.
#WordWeavers 1.21 — If in the middle of the book your MC discovered a foundling, what would they do with it?
Moon would take the child with her, of course.
So would all my other chars, but some would try to drop off the child at an appropriate place.
East, of course, decided to adopt her. (East Roars)
Gute Nacht, Freunde!
This morning, I finished the Jeko and West short story I wrote for the anthology.
The end twisted a little away from what I had in mind, but I think it's even better this way, more in tune with who Jeko is.
And I really hope it'll leave you with a smile when you finish.
Gute Nacht, Freunde.
Great progress with Jeko's story. Just need to wind it all down and complete the "rescue".
I'm very happy writing this has been so much fun.
Tomorrow will be newsletter day, so I may have to wait until Sunday to finish it. (It still feels like writing fan fiction in my own universe. In a good way.)
Oh, if you want to get monthly news, new releases and book deals from me, sign up here:
#PennedPossibilities 805 — Can you tell us about a “nightmare” of your MC’s that came true?
Oh, yes.
While escaping with Varden (and slowly falling for him), North had a vivid nightmare of him being dead, with snow falling on his sightless eyes.
And yeah, it came true in a way, and that moment is the climax of the entire novel North Shatters.
Won't say more. But that was a moment when Writer Brain truly kidnapped my heart.
#PennedPossibilities #ketchup 758 — Is there any sort of “lie” at the core of your MC’s worldview or how they see things?
All my Winds & Pillars have been raised with the lie that only the sacrifice of their lives can save the Holy Empire.
In fact, they've been completely brainwashed from childhood on, and few even dare to think of escaping. Those who do, struggle with understanding the truth.
That's why I write them.
Gute Nacht, Freunde.
Brain is still frazzled, so I settled on translating South into German this morning.
Now I'm sitting on 1400 words and am in chapter 3.
I really like the solutions I came up with (Süden aus dem Haus Hase), and I believe I managed to avoid most Denglish.
Tomorrow, I hope to get back into Lucky and finally (finally!!) start writing the showdown.
Unfortunately, there is also a lot of admin stuff to take care of...
