A reflective summer update

Dear readers. I would like to give a short update on what is happening with my simlit right now, but first I want to start somewhere else.

*****

The summer in Denmark has been unusually hot, but still bearable and fortunately not with temperatures over 40 degrees Celsius like in the southern parts of Europe. Climate change is a scary fact. In the middle of the heat, I have been on a graphic design course in a part of the country with big trees and lots of lakes. It is a recurring form of vacation every year when I go on a summer college stay with my children and good friends. Here we each participate in courses, according to our interests. My daughter kayaks on the lakes. My son would love to play music, but since that is not an option, he just relaxes. In the evenings we gather with the other students. We are fueled with lots of healthy and good food and exciting lectures.

During the classes I was introduced to a lot of graphic techniques, but this year I chose to concentrate on linocut and multicolor printing. It could easily become my new obsession, but since I do not have access to a printing press, it must remain a dream.

Back to my Simlit and The Story of Tusnelda and Trix. The story has now reached its fifth year and after much consideration I find it necessary to start a new book. Not least because the last chapter I wrote caused a breakup in Tusnelda and Martin’s lives.
At the same time, several of the other characters are facing a breakup and a new beginning.
Elijah and Fatima are in the process of moving away from San Myshuno and their haunted apartment.
Don has burned all bridges behind him and is on his way to meet his unknown fate. Still clueless about the woman who is pulling the strings. Will he ever overcome his paralysis and anxiety?
Allan is facing the fight of his life against a terrifying monster with a seductive voice. A fight between both the outer and inner demons in his life.
Alice seems lost to all reason and she is floating boundlessly around the world in an attempt to find an anchor to hold on to…or maybe just find some fun activities to remove her feeling of emptiness.
In the meantime, Andy is left to nannies, sweet and caring as they may be, but still…
Let’s not forget a homeless dog who still misses her forever home.
This doesn’t mean I’m going to forget Rasmus and Izumi’s small healthy family and the surprising marriage of Marcus and Jade.
It all leaves me with a lot of loose ends to tie up. Far more ends than I can handle in a few chapters. Hence a new book that will hopefully be the last on Tusnelda’s adventure 🥰

Thank you to those of you who have followed me on this journey.
