Buch fertig (gelesen, nicht geschrieben) 😆 Mein verschlafener Kumpel Leo präsentiert „Gelb“ von Jeff Noon. Ich weiß nicht mehr, wie ich zu dem Buch gekommen bin. Es ist schon etwas älter, von 1993. Gelb ist ein wirklich wilder Ritt - Drogen, Gewalt, Freundschaft, Liebe, Inzest ... alles drin. Es spielt im Manchester einer Zukunft, in der sich alles um eine Droge Namens Vurt dreht. Zwischendurch ist es ganz schön abgefahren, aber immer in sich logisch. Ich habe den Trip genossen. 😁 PS: Keine Werbung. Ich bekomme dafür nix. . . . #gelb #jeffnoon #scifi #book #buch #gelesen #anderfeldt #autorenleben #autorenvoninstagram #buchvorstellung #lesen #roman #authorslife #bookandcat #catcontent (hier: Munich, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDom9q3q-H8/?igshid=sybb0e1u01il

I absolutely Love retellings of stories, one of my favourites is Alice In Wonderland. #newbloggers have a series of prompts and I should have gotten this up earlier on the week, but the prompt for this week was Vacation. I would love to have a Vacation in wonderland! Of course without risking the Queen chopping off my head 😂 What is your favourite retelling? #bookstagram #instabook #thepufflehufflekittehreads #paperback #bookdragon #bookworm #bookhoarder #bookwitch #bookcollector #collector #lovebooks #aliceinwonderland #automaticalice #jeffnoon #heartless #marissameyer #queenofhearts #colleenoakes

Within Without

Within Without-WTF did I just read? An intelligent & literary thrill ride thru noir, sci-fi & fantasy? Yes! Want something fun & unique to read look no further. 5 stars & a fav! @jeffnoon @angryrobotbooks #bookreview

I have no idea what I just read—but I love it—but I love it. [with apologies to The Weeknd] Within Without is unlike any other book I have ever read. It’s like Dark City, Tenet, and Alice in Wonderland had a baby. Then dropped that baby in a 6D black rabbit hole. A noir detective named John Nyquist is searching for a client’s lost image. Like a living NFT stolen from blockchain. Sounds simple,…

So, I’ve started a new thing.

Maybe those of you who follow me on Instagram or are friends with me on Facebook ahve seen them. In my Stories, for 7 seconds, a small blurb of text appears. Just a few lines, not much more, hopefully containing as storye you would find satisfying.

I call them 7 Second Short Stories.

Surprisingly, I managed to snag that hashtag and originate it from my account. It’s all unused and ready to be populated by people other than me if this takes off like I’d like it to.

See, I saw a space that writers weren’t using.

The “sketch space.”

My Instagram and Twitter feeds have been mostly culled, so I no longer follow “innovators” or “personalities,” offering very little in the way of tangible product. Instead, I’ve selected to follow creators. People making and putting art out into the world, with a focus on trying to find new artists and writers to get absorbed into.

And one thing I noticed?

Artists do a lot of sketching. Artists do a lot of character studies. Artists do a lot of line experimentation.

Like, a lot.

Probably posting too much loose stuff lately, but thought you guys might enjoy seeing some of the prelim roughs for that Rogue & Gambit piece I posted recently. Sometimes I get some cool energy in the early sketches that’s hard to capture in the final! #gambit #rogue #marvel #xmen #sketch #drawing #comics #comicart

Some character research for my comic idea 🙂 It will be forever before I can properly do anything concrete but gotta start somewhere I guess. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How do kids even dress these days ? I have no idea. I live in a cave, Pinterest my only window to the outside world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Swipe for a better view ! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #digitalart #charadesign #character #design #characterdesign #story #comic #project #webcomic #portfolio #digitalpainting

Before I took the plunge into prose storytelling, I thought for a long time I could become a comic book artist. My background in the arts kind of got its start there until I gave it up in college. So, perhaps I forgot you have to sketch before you can start hammering home the finer bits. Maybe it slipped that if you want to design a new character from the ground up, you focus on the small bits first. You experiment, play around, until you find that one line that’s better than all the other lines.

So, I thought, what do writers do? How can they properly share their “sketches” with the world?

I’m hardly the first person to think of this. Author Jeff Noon has been publishing Tweet-sized gems over on his Twitter for years.

And The Shortest Story even put theirs on post-cards. For reals.

Writers playing around with getting flashiest-flash fictions in the face of readers isn’t anything new or ground-breaking. Mine, though, has a time limit and a purpose: Practice something new. Try to find story leads from here. Build out this for a long time. Stick to a deadline, one a day, every day.

And we’ll take it from there.
