    Feedback on my New Cover Art

    I kind of noticed it before, but now I can't unsee it! Totally unintentional! Thanks for pointing it out!

    Feedback on my New Cover Art

    It's funny —I tried to do the sitting poses myself but couldn't. I'm pretty inflexible, but I used the attached pictures as references, so it's possible, just not for me, haha. And, yeah, I agree that the thumbnail format doesn't quite work for this title. I have an alternate title I'll try...

    I would appreciate some feedback on my story, World in Cycle! It's a few years old, so any critiques, especially on the opening, would be a big help!

    What are the 'behind the scenes' aspects of your fiction writing that are interesting?

    My brain is always working on my stories in the background. So, when I get stuck, I leave one story alone and try to work on the other while I process the first. At random moments, things will just click and I get an idea of how to proceed; no trigger, no clear inspiration. I think I get it from...

    Where do You Source Your Protagonist's Design?

    I like to draw characters first before I write them to get the vibes I want. I start with an archetype and building off of that. Here's an example of one my character line ups: These are the major female characters in my story. I wanted a mage, a warrior, a serene noblewoman (whom I turned...

    Is Your Protagonist Recognized by Google?

    Google's top results for Anno Wolfskruez were all my story. Go me, I guess.

    What is the moral message of your novel?

    The main thesis of each story: Wish-fulfilment and fantasy do not solve your problems. Agency and its consequences are a tough responsibility in the face of suffering, but, in the end, they are a gift.

    Feedback on my New Cover Art

    Thanks! I plan to change the title to something a bit more succent, make the rest the subtitle, but it's a bit of a drastic change, so I'm holding off until I can rework part 1 of my story. It's good, but there a bunch of little changes I need to make for it to shine.

    Feedback on my New Cover Art

    That's a good idea! And I could do the same thing for the building sketch behind him! It'll give the wall a little more life. Alright, Here's the improved version!

    Feedback on my New Cover Art

    An excellent point! The last three words are especially hard to read. I'll try to darken it, I'm worried the title will be hard to read no matter what--since it's suuuper long-- so, I at least want the segments. Thanks!

    How do you pick or choose the names of your characters and cities in your book

    It depends on how much I plan my stories. For my current one, I go with a general German theme, which I look up unless I have a clear idea for the name, like my protagonist Anno. For locations, I tend to choose a theme. For the world, I based it on the takes of Reynard the Fox, and for my latest...
