Writing Update—Sep 20, 2023

The–almost–weekly writing update.

The almost weekly writing update.

Week 38, 2023

Another late writing update … this one is so late it’s actually early. Notes to my future self: if you haven’t made it through the middle and to the end in your outline or rough draft, do not start to write or it’ll all go to your best friend, the metaphorical wastepaper basket.*


* It’s not that I am going to listen to myself … it’s just so I can tell myself later I-told-you-though.

The Fragments, The Spheres Book One – new editions

As you know, The Fragments shine brightly in theses new editions, but I have no news on the limited edition print runs yet! I am still going through the options with local printers! Bear with me :).

The Fragments first KDP proof (2nd edition)

We wouldn’t do this if it would be easy, right?


New here? I am New Zealand-based writer, artist and maker Minu Freitag. I have published my first book—The Fragments, an inventive mix of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Dystopian fiction—in 2022 and am currently working on the second book in The Spheres Series—The House—due for release in the first half of 2024.
