Ikusa Otome Valkyrie 2 3

book corner Diedorf

the link of the week tomorrow. Here is a small report on a very pleasant evening.
For over 16 years, there are Diedorf west of Augsburg, a small but important book store, which ensures the supply of the total land area. There are regular readings and other events, there is a small catalog and a website with dates and book recommendations: http://www.buchecke-diedorf.de/ . The whole thing has a good reputation, and I had long been the desire to read there once. Yesterday it was so so far - I was invited to present in "Goethe's execution. Analyn and I went there on the train were much too early, we worried in a bakery donuts, croissants and rolls (all very good!) And ate at a Bus stop for dinner. At half past seven we were on the spot. The bookstore is run by three very nice women who had invited their husbands, daughters and other relatives is likely, but it was otherwise an interested and how to remember I soon engaged audience there. Although the store at first glance very small effect, many people place - the shelves, between which they would otherwise, are on wheels and can be pushed to the side, and from the back room chairs are taken - no Taizé-stool, as otherwise they are often seen, but really comfortable chair. I got such a comfortable chair, plus an original red table (a quarter of a round Table, in red, matching the name "Book Corner"), but since my voice while sitting not just space-filling, I finally put forward in standing, first one passage from the life of Joan, cautiously, looking at the faces - was the text good at, I had the feeling. You notice even the mood, even if nobody says anything. So I read this passage even more scenes, then another, from the life of Goethe, as a contrast. I could now stay in the front part of the book, but I felt curiosity, people sent signals somehow, perhaps through body language or by their faces - I had the feeling that they could use some more Tobacco - So I read something from the last quarter, not the execution scene, but the last meal, a grotesque, in which I describe as judge, executioner and priest with the delinquent sit at the table and eat. Then a couple of questions came from the audience, it was not the usual "what the poet is thinking", but questions that revealed that people had been listening very carefully. A nice crowd, a pleasant reading and a bookshop, which shows that it pays not to buy over the Internet, but personally on site.

The lighting - for customers and for Reading - excellent at any point in the store. Finding the rare!

job in Otter Village - Search engine for search engines

Today I have written an application for the scholarship "garden house at Southshore Wall" in Otter village - not the first time since years I am applying to various city clerk shall determine whether "Esslinger flagman", "Dresden's city clerk," or work scholarships Artist Schöppingen. At first I was all too young, had little to show, trivia have written, but kept me alive, and had nowhere success. Sometimes I am, with the option of just "sidestepped" to an invitation - even me to only one jury vote was missing. Always is the hope - a scholarship or a prize would be not only a recognition of my work, because I shall be from year to year to better professional, but also a culmination of my efforts.
Otterndorf - of which I have long dreamed of. In the early 70s where I had a pen pal, an aspiring young writer, whose name I do not even - Jens Meyer Peter Muller, a very simple name, anyway. He wrote poems in long lines and was the first one I ever wrote something about Johann Hinrich Voss. In the school of this name had never surfaced. I will not find the man because I do not remember his name, but Otter Village, this is me from this ancient correspondence in mind - there and I always wanted. How many years do I apply for this scholarship has been on? Certainly I've tried seven or eight times. Maybe I'm lucky this time! I could finally work with significantly less financial worries on a novel project.
For the fans of my blog here's a special search tool. As a man more comfortable looking at you then hurl always first to the Google, but there are only in German about 2700 search engines, whether it's to old books, or about historical periods, to mathematics or biographies. Specialized search engines help to come straight to the point, and they find more details. For authors, journalists, etc. They therefore especially important. Beginners will find that not only the right links, but a lot of explanations in www.suchfibel.de .

Link of the Week: Historical Calendar

If I make a "basic research" or thinking about what issues in the coming year could be interesting for me, I look at a historical calendar. Because I can see whose birthday or death anniversary today, or what historical event took place that day. A treasure trove of subjects for historical or contemporary novels and short stories. The calendar that I use most often, is found under http://www.hinternet.de/kalender - for me this is one of the most important links.

detail work - and readings!

If a manuscript is delivered, it is far from finished. The editor reads it against, for smaller publishers and the publishers themselves, and that's good. it is not just clerical mistakes that need to be ironed out, but one or the other anomaly, a missing or unresolved wrong track - things that stand a not if one is in the midst of the work. Better, these things will be adjusted before printing, as if the reader asks afterward: What has become of the main character? So it goes chapter by chapter first separately and then together with it is filed, cut and removed, and then again comes a security correction. Then it's off to the Set, and then comes the galley proofs. What then of bugs still in it, is my fault ...

is now designed the cover and first readings are scheduled: Schwab Munich Augsburg, Gersthofen, Bobingen ... In Diedorf I read before that from my Goethe novel. The dates are on my homepage http://www.viktorglass.com/ and on the events page http://www.venyoo.de/ - I hope so, that come all sorts of people! If my book sells well, I expect the next contract.

reading at Schwab Munich, Fall 2008
is now already the next book in the works, and since almost the time is short. I work a lot, because I have goals in life, even now (the day after tomorrow I will be sixty). Since time is running out. I have wasted far too much.
