*The first rumble of thunder, a low growl echoing through the thickening air, sends shivers down your spine. Heavy clouds, rolling like churning, oily smoke, choke the sun and sky. Stepping outside, the air crackles with ozone, a metallic tang burning your nostrils. The scent of rain and lightning blends with the fear that clings to the air like a funeral shroud. Your heart hammers against your ribs, each beat a frantic, hammering drumbeat against the still, growing silence. The world holds its breath, a silent, quivering moment. This is it. The final break before the storm. What comes next ..it's yours to tell. *
It's been a long path, an incredible journey and this ..this is the final chapter of our journey - or a new beginning: #unofficialchallenge #thelongestjourney 's Chapter 5 is now open for submissions. Take a seat by the fire, grab a mug and tell us where your path leads. I can't wait to read your tales!
On a short personal note I want to thank everyone who took part and supported this challenge from the bottom of my heart- the amount of support has been incredible. So, a shoutout to the members of the challenge channel community, the german language channel and the Storyteller's circle - I couldn't have done it without you!

#NovelEmber Progress and #WorldEmber Prep
I've been a bit quieter than usual this November, because I have been working on #NovelEmber, but as we're just over halfway through the month I thought I'd do a little update.
WorldEmber Prep
I've really been enjoying the WorldEmber prep. It's that strange thing where I find myself getting inspired but also trying to save up all of my ideas to start writing them in December. (It's one of the reasons I haven't written my latest entry for #TheLongestJourney yet). Really can't wait to start!NovelEmber
I've written almost 30k words for my new book which is set in The Wilds (see World Block below). I know a lot of those words are going to change when it comes to re-reading and editing and so on, but it feels good to get the words out and to start connecting to these new characters I haven't met before!

Rohan's Journey continues!
Greetings fellow Anvilites! How was your week? What amazing tales were you crafting this time? I was super hyped to see that the second prompt for the Longest Journey challenge by Tyrdal was released!
I haven't entered this part of the challenge yet, because the submission time begins at October 7th. Yet, since I am very eager for this (and in general patience is not my virtue) I would like to share the second part of my work for this beautiful challenge. So, without further ado, here comes:

Unofficial challenges are on the horizon...
September is fast approaching and there are some great #unofficialchallenges coming up. Yes, I'm biased, because one of them is mine, but I want to start by shouting about Tyrdal's #Thelongestjourney challenge. It's going to be an epic episodic adventure and I truly cannot wait.
Now, if you like a little mystery in your worldbuilding, I'm running #Mystember. Write or create anything about a mystery in your world and how people try to explain it.
