Btw, this song exists in German as well. Ich kenn ein Lied, das jedem auf die Nerven geht... I had totally forgotten that song existed, so thatnks for reminding me, I guess. I'm currently torturing the family with it. they're very grateful to you 🙃

This song's gonna get stuck inside your This song's gonna get stuck inside your This song's gonna get stuck inside your head...

I find most inspiration in situations where I don't need much brain, and can just let my thoughts run free in random directions. Walking the dog is great for that, or cleaning the house, or listening to music, or traveling (unless I'm the driver, it's a bad idea to get caught in story visions...

From where I'm standing, zero inspiration is just something that happens. Sometimes you just have to deliberately do something else to recover your spark. The small wins idea is a good one, though. What's between you and your inspiration is a wall you need to get over. If you can just quickly...

Sounds to me like you don't have multiple magic sources but one giant source, namely, everything. If the fabric of your reality is infused with magic, then magic is everywhere and what you're actually looking for is ways to access it. Can everybody just use it? Probably not, so people will have...

Wonderland, eh? We should get along.

This, this, a thousand times this. I don't know how many times I hit a wall because I knew a scene as I had imagined it was wrong, but I didn't know how to fix it. I had to learn to sit down and write that wrong scene the better to see what was so very wrong with it. Also, always carry a...

This. All the time. You finish your first draft, you let it go for a few days or weeks, you come back to it and you're like, hey, look at that, there's a theme if I just add this little thing here and that little thing there...

I've never met an otter named Jessica. I thought they were all called Steve.

I've been asking myself that question way too many times!

There are those who will ask for money for a review. Sometimes outright, sometimes not very subtly hidden - "please consider donating to my website", "for a certain fee we will pubish a review within a guaranteed time frame", "your subscription fee will gain you access to a group of devoted...

This sounds so much like me. I write to find out what happens and who will come along. If I tried outlining things, if I knew everything that happens before I write it down, I probably wouldn't write it, I'd just get bored. I like it when my characters surprise me with messing everything up. The...

I like this. It feels extremely respectful to me, granting importance to not just the hero but also the ordinary people. I don't usually develop backstories for everyone, but the moment there's interaction, even if it's short, I have a clear vision of the people involved. I know what they look...

I get those flash visions, too, those perfect scenes you just HAVE to turn into a story... usually, they don't quite turn out the way I originally imagined them. I remember, I had a scene in my head once which I knew would be rather late in the actual book, and when I eventually got there, I...

Okay, so first of all, this link is sufficient: www.amazon.com/Infiniverse-Virtual-Reality-War-1-ebook/dp/B0C9XNZN4R There's no need for the rest of it. Second, I've been told that too many questions in a blurb put readers off. I don't know if it's true. Third, and please don't take this hard...
