This year I’m art-ing for the first time, writing for the second time!

A Feast of Ashes is my first novel ever, and a dream come true. I’ve been writing for several years, but short stories and never finished novels were my speciality. Well, no more! I hope a lot of readers will come and party with me at the end of this big project, that spanned 8 months this year!

A FEAST OF ASHES

T with some extra warnings for specific chapters.

Now High King of the Noldor in Middle Earth, Fingolfin decides to host a feast to reunite the free people of Beleriand, the Noldor, and his own family. What he did not expect is to be reunited with dead relatives, spies from Angband, dark secrets from Cuivienen, and a fair share of angst.

A Feast of Ashes is a Silmarillion novel spanning more or less 150k, from Cuivienen to the end of the Feast of Reuniting. As I write this summary, I am writing the last chapter of this story; small epilogues are planned through the summer, but if you start reading now, you are 100% certain of getting the ending!

Top creative tips/words of wisdom for fellow participants: Writing a big piece is a pain, don’t do it unless you are ready to write every week, even when you are tired, even when you don’t want to, even when your writing sucks. However, there’s nothing like the feeling of finishing a story and sharing it with people!

Last word of widsom: send love to the supermods. SEND LOVE! They work super hard!
