Hello people,
I would like to write now the first chapter of Cyclus, but my head did not find a way to begin the story yet. And I need to read more and practice a bit my writing before writing something bigger than 5 pages long. I must finish Dracula, Terry Pratchet's Guards and Charles Dickens's Great Expectations.
Btw, Charles Dickens is the best writer I can think of. I was always averse to reading his books, but I overcame my aversion to my great satisfaction. If you like adventure or stories that really drag you into it, read it. Mostly because each character is realistic, you can feel them and they seem alive. Sometimes more alive than you wanted them to be.
Great Expectations is the first novel to feature 2 endings... I will not go into details, read it if you will!
Sometimes I am asked of how my time in Germany was and I give some random answer not really worth the question. I thought some of you might be interested in my deep and official answer to the question, hosted by the Universitaet Ulm:
