#WritersCoffeeClub How’s your writing progress so far this year?
Working on the 11th novel of the series, Silhouette of Ravens, which has taken some turns I did not expect, but interesting ones. I have not been as productive in writing this past month, a bit more focussed on visuals. I have some illustration and artwork to do, and that always gives me a clearer view of the story in the end. Like this new cover design for 11.
I guess I'm going to have to get myself some pyjamas, prefferably purple 😂

#DailyHandwriting 9, What would you take for lunch in the park?
I snuck in the following more obscure words:
- Epicure: one with sensitive and discriminating tastes.
- Halcyon: Idyllic time.
- Harbinger: something that foreshadows a future event.

#ScribesAndMakers 15. How's your creativity going? Is there anything you would like help with?
I'm liking the zero pressure approach. Making some changes, and rediscovering the rough edges of sketches. I've been "finishing" too much. Need to relearn that rough and dynamic doesn't always mean unfinished. I spent far too many hours trying to "finish" this, only to like the rough sketch a lot more. So, I'm embracing it.

Can 51 year old Jessica allow one man to control her again?
Especially now she's come face-to-face with Aiden Dowling, 54—a confident, attractive Dom, who looks at her like an apex predator.

#ScribesAndMakers Tell us about yourself and your creative work.
I am a profoundly eclectic artist. Went to art school, had a moderately successful art career, burned out, decided to embrace the varied nature of creativity. Now I make digital art, illustrations, design, make spells, do photography, curate shows, do some amateur botany and philosophy, write a strange fantasy series called Ethereal, and whatever else takes my fancy.💜
#WritersCoffeeClub Have you tried creating your own book cover designs?
I design and illustrate everything myself, but I am a bit of a professional. Sort of. More of an artist than an illustrator. I see creative writing as part of the same oeuvre. If that makes sense? It's a bit complicated to display at a museum, but the rigid divide between different creative fields seems entirely artificial to me.

Please forgive me for temporarily totally losing my cool. I just learned through the Dutch Haiku Association that my haiku got an honourable mention in the 7th Basho-an International English Competition 2024! Getting such recognition in Japan is one of my ultimate 'WOW'- moments!😄

Introducing the Tinker WriterDeck OS!
Convert any laptop and most chromebooks into a writer deck: A device designed solely for writing.
No distractions.
No internet.
No apps. No games. No social media.
Just writing.
The Tinker WriterDeck is very light weight and specifically seeks to lower the barrier of entry to creating writer decks. It converts older, reused, refurbished, or inexpensive laptops into a dedicated writing machine.
A digital typewriter.
The Tinker WriterDeck sits on top of a "headless" Debian Linux image and boots directly into a console based text editor.
We're using the Tilde Text Editor because it is a simple text editor, has an intuitive User Interface, and allows for customized color schemes for light and dark modes.
Operating System download and instructions on how to convert your laptop into a dedicated writer deck for free are found here: https://tinker.sh
See below for an example of the writer deck in light mode and dark mode.
If anyone has any questions or needs any help setting your laptop up, let me know here!
