EXCERPT TWO:
V A N I S H
Those words are hiding in the rain
even vanishing, the memories remain
those words are hiding in the light
even vanishing, I hope you are all right
Don't you need someone to take you by the hand?
don't you need someone to help you understand?
don't you need someone to stay until the end?
LIGHT AND RAIN NEVER HAPPEN IN VAIN.

GUEST POST #1:
Describe Your Book Cover and How It Came About
I wanted the cover to be clear about the topic of the book, yet memorable, dynamic and minimalistic. So I chose many colored, unsorted notes lying on a white background. They symbolize the different people who might resonate with it, as well as the various heartfelt themes and perspectives I love to explore in my writing. Each one feels like a spark, waiting to be shared and to resonate.

Brain Food for Writers: Healthy Snacks to Ease Writer’s Block
My go-to snacks are quick, plant-based, and light. They support creativity and a calm belly, which is also essential for singing and for a clear mind in general. I love almonds, pistachios, and hazelnuts for their healthy fats and magnesium. Red lentil waffles are gentle on digestion and full of plant protein. Linseed, sesame, and wheat protein crackers offer omega-3s and fiber, helping regulate mood and energy. Carrots, blueberries, and melon hydrate and refresh with natural sweetness. Dates and hemp protein raw bars provide quick energy and stabilize the nervous system. I try to always stay hydrated, drinking still water only or unsweetened, histamine-free herbal teas, and getting some fresh air every hour, sometimes even considering a few breaths of pure oxygen for vitality or focus.

Putting Yourself on a Page: What It Feels Like to Share Your Most Personal Words
That is a beautiful paradox. As a writer, especially as a songwriter and singer, you connect by expressing the deepest emotions and heartfelt thoughts. They are shaped through your personal lens and your most intimate instrument, the voice. You have to truly and fully expose your soul if you aim for genuine connection. It is often a little scary. But always worth it.

What’s in a Title: How to Create an Intriguing and Eye-Catching Book Title
The most effective advice I can offer, as an award-winning author, award-winning vocal coach, and officially recognized vocational teacher supporting aspiring professional singers and songwriters in Germany, is this: Do not worry, think more like a songwriter! Songwriters are, to me, the most underrated writers. They have little time and not much space to make their point. Sometimes even a single word won’t fit the tune. So if you were about to write a compact, emotional, and intriguing line for a song, what would you do? Keep virtuosity and ego low. At the end of the day, we are advocates of feelings, serving art to inspire others. A cryptic metaphor is not helpful if no one understands it. Resonance happens through similarity and an open heart.

My Favorite Motivational Phrase
Whenever I am about to craft something or follow a creative impulse, I ask myself if it is truly worth interrupting the silence. In a world full of noise, where energy management and balance matter more than ever, this question shifts the focus from “Can I create?” to “Why would I share this? Do I really believe it has value, and why?“ From there, the vision and mission become clearer.

Five Reasons You Should Read My Book
1.) Words to Think. Or to Sing. might be the first award-winning publication with no hangover guarantee, because it does not end with the last page but marks the beginning of a shared, cinematic, creative, sonorous journey where the words come to life in real tracks.
2.) It offers space for your reflections and sketches too.
3.) If you love heartfelt, evocative pop music that feels like after a meaningful conversation with a good friend, this is exactly what you are going to get.
4.) When the songs are released, one at a time, you will already know part of the lyrics, a huge advantage for singing along!
5.) It reads like modern poetry, but it is actually poetic pop lyrics in progress, also a unique and unprecedented, budget-friendly gift idea. You can add a thoughtful touch to your present and extend it with the accompanying big blank notebook Place to Think. Or to Write., which is available separately on Amazon.
