Viola Davis [you might know her from How To Get Away With Murder or Ma Rainey's Black Bottom] wrote a book, a memoir/biography I shall say: FINDING ME. I'm listening to it via audio and since it is fabulously read by herself you should too, it's a really meaningful one. <3

#WritersCoffeeClub APR-01 in-jokes, hidden messages, easter egg
#AsIf: In the hospital there's a brief blink-and-you-miss-it crossover with #ArkanCotton from one of my other stories
#SubconsciousMind: The story is based on the novel "Geography Club", which, coincidentally gets chosen to be that year's school play in the story
#FindingMe: The story is full of geeky recurring humor that is understood without explanation between the lead chacters

#PhantastikPrompts DEC-13 Was ist die glücklichste Erinnerung deiner Figur?
Ich wüsste keine konkrete Erinnerung, aber die Erinnerung involviert sehr wahrscheinlich Lucas besten Freund Marc.

#PennedPossibilities 498 — What is something that always makes your SC laugh?
Almost anything Luca says with the intention of making his best friend Marc laugh, as is the case the other way round, since their aim with humor almost never misses and they just know each other through and through
#WritersCoffeeClub NOV-15 What do you owe the real people you base your characters on?
I owe Luca for being such a good friend and editor over the years and having equally much and nerdy fun as he has with Marc in the story.
#WritersCoffeeClub 11 Do you consider any of your work to be unfilmable?
Not per se. It's all a matter of budget.
I would shoot the #SoulBearer trilogy in #TheVolume/ #Stagecraft™️ due to it being fantasy and therefore requiring quite some VFX shots. Later scenes of #FindingMe take place in the future. #MichaelAndLucas probably never gets completed.

Part of my healing journey with therapist Agnieszka Rdesinska has been 'Finding Me.' Authenticity of others has become a key element in my search. #ego #authenticity #healing #mentalhealthawareness #guilt #shame #caring #findingme #therapyhelps

#PhantastikPrompts JUL-30 Gibt es in deinen Geschichten so etwas wie Schicksal oder sind deine Figuren ihres eigenen Glückes Schmied? Warum ist das so?
In #FindingMe ist das so eine Sache. Zeitreisen bzw. deren Theorie sind ja quasi der Inbegriff der Debatte "freier Wille vs. #Determinismus".
Ironischerweise – passend zur #Quantenphysik – trifft sogar beides ein Stück weit zu … from a certain point of view sozusagen
#PhantastikPrompts JUL-25 Gibt es in deiner Geschichte ein Mysterium, welches erst am Ende vollständig entwirrt wird?
Bei #FindingMe wird dem*der Leser*in im Verlauf des Buches früher oder später klar, wer der Einbrecher im ersten Kapitel war. Was jedoch wahrscheinlich etwas länger zu entschlüsseln sind, sind seine Motive.
#WritersCoffeeClub JUL-16 Theme> Is there an overriding theme to your WIP? What is it?
#FindingMe is about living in the moment and cherishing what makes us who we are, not just the good things that happened to us but also the bad things we went through and came out at the other end.
In #FindingMe: Making #TimeTravel realistic while also have it tie into the overall plot. Also, finding the right time jumps and aging my characters accordingly, wasn't that easy.
In #ArkanCotton: Writing a protagonist who was deeply unlikable, while having an antagonist with reasonable motivations (the trauma, they were based on, had to be properly explained in her backstory) but questionable actions

#WordWeavers MAY-28 — Do you include inside jokes for friends or fan groups in your stories?
#FindingMe is essentially two nerd besties talking about #ScienceFiction 24/7, while discovering that #TimeTravel apparently is possible
#amWriting #ZuriStories #amWritingScienceFiction #amWritingSciFi
#PhantastikPrompts JUL-07 Welche deiner Figuren könnte eine eigene Fernsehshow bekommen und was für eine Sendung wäre das?
Luca und Marc aus #FindingMe würden eine #ScienceFiction-Talkshow zusammen machen und die beiden Nerds würden dabei wahrscheinlich die Zeit ihres Lebens haben und ständig ihre Sendezeit überziehen.

#PhantastikPrompts MAR-05 Worin unterscheidet sich deine Geschichte grundsätzlich von anderen desselben Genres?
In #FindingMe geht es um #Zeitreisen, allerdings kombiniere ich hier zwei normalerweise gegensätzliche Ansätze.
Ein weiterer Unterschied ist, dass andere Zeitreisegeschichten im Gegensatz zu meiner am Ende auch einen Sinn haben 😬 😅

#PennedPossibilities 259 — Sum up your MC in three adjectives
#SoulBearerLegacy/Balia: Brave, curious, open-minded
#FindingMe/Luca: Nerdy, curious, funny
#ArkanCotton: impolite, misogynistic, egocentric

#PennedPossibilities 231 — Has your MC or SC retained any friendships from their childhood or young adulthood? (Credit: @aperfectsong)
I don't know exactly, when Luca and Marc first met, but it must have been quite some time before the first chapter, since they already know each other inside out. Together, they are seen living through decades and still enjoying shared hobbies at old age.

#PhantastikPrompts FEB-16 Beschreibe ein kurioses Gerät/Maschine/magischen Gegenstand aus deiner fiktionalen Welt
Die Zeitmaschine in #FindingMe ist inspiriert durch die #Stargate-Episode "Ascension" (5x03), in welcher Orlin ein Miniaturstargate in Samantha Carters Keller mit gerade ausreichend Energie, um ihn auf die andere Seite des durch das Gate erzeugten Wormlochs zu bringen, baut.

#WritersCoffeeClub FEB-19 Do you give your characters mannerisms? How do you do this?
Luca just can't stand making a nerdy popculture (mostly Science Fiction-related) joke when Marc is around.
