Snapchat

I created a secondary Snapchat account - using Spike's identity because I can - as a way of giving you, my dear Patrons, some exclusive little sneak peeks into the world and creation of SPIKE the novel, the comic, the whatever :)

The Snapchat "My Story" updates are available to everyone, but I am sharing the link to this account with my patrons only. If you want to share it with others you think might be interested then that's up to you.

But I think this could be a fun little thing to try out :)

And I am using the account both as myself and as Spike, like, just for kicks... Thanks to the whole Bitmoji thingy I have an avatar of Spike that I can use to reply/react/respond to things "in character", which has been great fun for me already and hopefully will be amusing to others too - because you can "talk to" Spike and get in-character responses ;) And his level of sarcasm and sass is just endlessly entertaining imo xD I am having too much fun with this Bitmoji Spike avatar :P

BUT --

The whole reason I created this secondary Snapchat account is that I am going to Ireland tomorrow :D And I want to try and document / vlog the trip, because it is a trip that is made possible thanks to your support. A trip that I am using as a research trip regarding a specific character, and to further encourage me to write more and speed up the whole creative process. Call it a writing-vacation-with-character-researching or something ;)

I am so excited I can't even sleep :D I will arrive in Dublin tomorrow (later today? the 5th anyhow) and on wednesday I am hoping to travel to Belfast to go full research-mode. Thursday is adventure and creativity day where I'll just derp around and draw, write, imagine or just go on random, inspiring adventures around Dublin again. Friday I'm going back home to the cold north ;) But I want to "vlog" this trip and share it on Snapchat with you lot - the guys who helped make this trip possible :D This year has been an amazing year in regards of creativity, inspiration, motivation (!!) and dedication, and especially; appreciation. Your support means the world to me, and it has had a more positive effect on my novel-writing process than you can imagine :D

So thank you all. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much <3

And stay tuned for all the shenanigans to come ;)

And sorry in advance, Ireland and "Norn' Iron" for being a perpetually annoying tourist these next few days. Tá brón orm..!
