New inspiration, new story

Losing the Centaurid competition gave me new inner strength and inspiration. Today I sent my “Tale of the Ice Beast” to six publishing houses in Ukraine. Wish me luck.
But if it doesn’t work out, I’ll publish the novel at Wattpad, like “Chimera” before. By the way, the story of James and Eleanor will soon be continued in the novel “Typhon”. No one knows how long the final editing will take, but I am quite optimistic.
Well, see you around and stayed inspired everyone!
P.S. Here are some fresh pictures for you from Midjourney:

Програш у конкурсі Кентаврида надав мені нових внутрішних сил і натхнення. Сьогодні відправила мою “Сказанку про Крижаного Звіра” у шість видавництв в Україні. Побажайте мені успіху.
Але якщо не складеться, то опублікую роман на Wattpad, як і “Хімеру” до того. До речі, історія Джеймса і Елінор вже скоро матиме продовження у романі “Тифон”. Ніхто не знає скільки часу займе редагування, втім я налаштована доволі оптимістично.
Що ж, до зустрічі і натхнення всім!

Centaurid 2024 annual grant competition for writers

I’ve found an article about this competition some time ago and guess what – as I have finally finished my IceBeastTale editing – I applied for it as well!

Are you waiting for any other upcoming competitions?

Деякий час тому я наткнулася на статтю про цей конкурс і вгадайте що — я ж нарешті закінчила редагування Сказанки Про Крижаного Звіра, і подала заявку на Кентавриду 2024!

Чи ви чекаєте на якісь ще конкурси?

Deadline

…failed! I promised myself I will have finished the 2nd draft of The Ice Beast Tale until the end of this Summer. But I didn’t. Still have 3 chapters to write 🙂

Such a Tragedy! With a capital letter T.

But who cares 🙂 I don’t.

Still, lately I’ve been reading Max Frei books:

“Labyrinths of Echo”
“Chronicles of Echo”
“Dreams of Echo”

Highly recommend ^^

As stories come to an end I am a bit sad. But I am about to find another stories to dive into.

Writers’ Stories

I’ve watched some movies about writers before. But kept denying that all that happened – had actually affected them.

How wrong was I. Isn’t it obvious that every word they put to a piece of paper is autobiographical? With dragons and mermaids, with rockets and far-far-far away planets. But all about what happened to them.

People write stories, as well as they read ones for different reasons. But no matter you read or you write – you have a common thing with others, a tiny secret key – you want to find someone who is capable to understand your feelings. If you love someone and you lose someone – isn’t it the most natural thing to want that feeling to be shared with someone? Share it with a book when you have no other options. Or no willing.

I rewatched some of moves dedicated to writers today. And have been thinking whole evening about what happened to them and to each other person brave enough to tell their story to the world.

A very thoughtful evening I had. And I hope it made me a bit stronger. Stronger enough to move on. Maybe you’d like to watch them too. Or maybe you have already watched them. And I hope you liked them as I did.
