Lukas Klessig No secret...some combination of persistence, tenacity, awareness and luck have afforded us a few wins.
Lukas Klessig Yes, much gratitude for letting others know what to expect!
Lukas Klessig Hello Marlene! Your thoughtful posts/comments/reviews led to the connection but Embracing the Shadows seems like a title I need to check out.
Lukas Klessig Thanks very much for devoting some of your precious time to explore the story...I don't think you'll be disappointed. In regards to the animal cruelty, the story does contain some discussion of how we should better respect and protect animals. Part of that discussion involves descriptions of wild animal treatment which may make you uncomfortable. I'll leave it up to you whether to proceed.
Lukas Klessig Hi Chantal, As you might imagine, you get the opportunity to work outdoors every day, both aspects (physical movement and nature) that boost mental well-being. Find out more in the "Exploratory Learning" chapter in WWMF.
Yes, definitely check out Meg's writing! She also has quite a story!
Lukas Klessig John Le Carré's more recent superspy milieus...doing my duty as a super-handsome & super-clever superspy, of course.
Lukas Klessig In order for me to finish this book with a flow and interconnectedness that satisfied expectations, I had to really focus (bordering on obsession) for weeks at a time. For the three months working on the final draft, little else besides rewriting and rereading occupied my time...I didn't read or watch or listen to anything else. Those extended periods of minimal distractions are difficult to procure in our world, but might prove essential for people/writers/thinkers examining complex ideas.
Lukas Klessig Currently in the process of setting of scene for one to manifest... or just being cryptic.
Lukas Klessig I'll tell you at the end of the summer, ok?
Lukas Klessig My Dad passed away before he could finish this story. The disease that killed him also took away his cognitive and communication capacities. For a deep and constant thinker like my father, there's really no way you can relieve the torture of his faculties mercilessly fading. But, if he knew that I would share his message, that I would continue his work, that, I thought, could give him some peace.
Lukas Klessig Just do it. And always have a pad and pen (or device) that you can take note of ideas with.
Lukas Klessig All our efforts currently focus on relaying the story and wisdom of WWMF. We have more than enough material and ideas for several more books. However, we're going to let this one sink in for people because we think they'll recognize this narrative as expertly-crafted, relevant to their lives and something they'll want to spend some time with.
Lukas Klessig Let me get back to you when I find out. ;)
Lukas Klessig I do the walk and talk...in my head and out loud.
Lukas Klessig They didn't know the menace could see their every action. The menace knew its actions would open their eyes.
