EFT for Authors – I’m stuck!
Now, this happens to me fairly regularly. I sit down to continue a story, start a new chapter or a new scene – and bam. Stuck. Can’t think of a way to segue into the new part, can’t think of … Continue reading
Heat Wave Break
Apologies, my friends. Germany is experiencing a record-breaking heat wave. In a country where air conditioning is rare, having days and weeks of temperatures over 30°C is a tad… exhausting. Now, I’m lucky that I live on the northern edge … Continue reading

EFT for Authors – Not Original Enough
I’m seeing this time and again. It crops up in author forums, in FB groups, even in some writing advice books. And I can see it driving authors to despair. My story isn’t original enough! It’s basically an expression of … Continue reading
