Thank you! I am an avid DnD player (DM mostly), BA in Latin but in IT now, and I'm currently writing the 2nd book of a High Fantasy series as well as smaller pieces that can be found through my website: tanjaveil.com😊 The 1st book, Weaving Dawn, has been out since May.

Thank you science.
Thank you scientists and volunteers and funding agencies and donors and physicians and nurses and all those who never gave up.
Thank you.

In Germany, scientists have made a breakthrough in treating Parkinson’s by implanting a chip in the brain that sends precise signals to restore movement. A stunning leap in neuroscience—witness the power of innovation and the beauty of science in action.

"Madame Fortuna", a short story from 10 years ago (but edited today!😀), is now free on my website. If you like Lovecraft, give it a read, shouldn't take more than 10 minutes. :)

Some #writing in nature today, as it's finally bearable outside again.😊 Writing the last scene of part 1 of The Queen of Masks (working title), book 2 of the #LightEternal trilogy.

Book 1, #WeavingDawn, is out, if anyone is interested. Chapter 1 is free on my website: tanjaveil.com

I thought my progress on book 2 of #LightEternal was so slow, so I compiled it from Scrivener to take a look at the word count: 21.8k words or about 22 A4 pages. That is not as much as I had wished for but more than I had expected!😊

Does anyone have good sources for (royalty-free,) fantasy themed pictures/illustrations that could be used to accompany book posts? I would like to get away from AI, but so far, I haven't really had any luck with pages like Unsplash. :/ I'm also ready to pay a moderate subscription.

Got my first payouts for Weaving Dawn, and while it doesn't cover the costs by far, I am still pretty happy.😃 Most of the people who bought it know me, yes, but not all! There's at least one person out there, maybe two, who are not friends or family and bought it.😍

Thank you, though so far (1/4 through the 1st book), I'm not having any trouble and enjoying it quite a bit. :) Looking forward to what's to come.

Tanja Writes Books @tanjaveil.com · Jun 27

Took me a few tries and some web searching to finally be back where I started... sweet relief, it will be a moment before I dare try that again.🥲🫣😅

What a nerve-wracking few hours... tried to change from RAID to AHCI on my PC to install #Linux (because fuck Microsoft), but Windows got stuck on the login screen and then wouldn't even start a clean #Windows11 installation...

Happy Pride Month!🥳

To celebrate our diversity is a beautiful thing, and it is sad that there are still so many people who don't see it.

For June, 'Weaving Dawn', with its diverse cast of characters, is ~50% off.

Ordered the first two #Malazan books - looking forward to diving into something heavy (or so I've read online).😅
