You think ..."
I do because in my author’s journey, a particular task was difficult for me and I looked to see what other authors did, I just got more confused. So I decided to do what I wanted to do, what was in my heart and it got really easy and it turned out great. That is how I know for you. 😊 Keep shining your own light, do what is in your heart, what you think should be…
Hello Chiara, I have a couple of questions regarding your book. Would you be able to send me a message on GR? (I am not able at my end) Thanks!
I'm sorry I can't either. But you can ask anything here!
It would contain spoilers so will send you a friend request, then I should be able to message you. :)
The First Tale of the Tinners' Rabbits
This story, in its first, unpolished form, came into being through last years Inklings Challenge, a truly amazing writing challenge to be found on tumblr (you can still sign up for this year). I decided to turn it into something larger – this story (with the little Christmas tale) is to be the first part of three, and I will write a novelisation of the whole idea in German, as well as the other two novellas (and two more short stories) in English.
The idea was to write a portal fantasy story within a Christian worldview. I came to love the setting and the characters more than I ever expected. (Well, not entirely – I always grow very attached to my characters, but in this case, I knew I shouldn't keep it at this single story.) I was wondering for nearly a year just how tackle the whole business – keep up the style I went for, what language to work in, etc.
So I finally decided I ought to stay true to myself and to the story: I will continue it, all three parts, (and an Easter story and a Pentecost story to follow the Christmas one), and publish them first as they come out, then in one, and also write a German version in the shape of one whole novel, with some adjustments to both the different language, and the format.
As it is, I am awfully fond of this little tale, and I hope that other people will enjoy it as well. Perhaps it will interest some of you.
