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…

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.
