Apophenia

Pathfinder • Codex Hyperboreanus

Red III. Hold My Crown beach towel

Some people write thinking of their readers. I write to create worlds and immerse myself in them. It’s the ultimate act of escapism. That’s why I’m so obsessed with all aspects of my books, from the writing, to the the way they look. For me, a book is not a mash up of different arts. The cover is not separate from the text. The drop caps are not chosen by a designer who has nothing to do with the story. The title hasn’t been mangled by a marketing team who decided to target some homogenous group of people that exist only in their pity minds. This is a solid project. You can’t dissect it in replaceable parts. It’s a standalone artwork. Love it or hate it.

One word: tired. And also stressed, irritable, impatient, pissed off, etc. The moments before the final strokes are the most difficult. Errors keep popping out. Of course the icing on the cake is reserved for all the insecurities that decide to pay me a visit, just as I’m approaching the finish line. Why am I doing this? Is there a point to it? Am I an impostor? Do I even have talent? All these ridiculously subversive questions… Sure enough, by now I’ve learned how to deal with all this crap. I’ll just wait it out and keep on moving, eyes locked on the target. But it’s still exhausting. Like a slow moving bus on the way home. You know you’re going to get there but man, can the driver give it a little nudge!

Ladies, gentlemen, and everyone in between, Codex Hyperboreanus is done! This is the last sentence. Now off to fixing all the commas and adding all the italics! I can’t tell you how relieved I am. The official publishing date remains May 26! 😁🤩 You can preorder the ebook on Amazon Kindle and Apple Books.
