Free travel and new friends!
I get to learn about unfamiliar places and be the creator of new people, especially those I did not plan to see in the beginning - sometimes, characters pop up as I write, and I get to meet them! Now, I have unexpected new friends.
I also learn about the places I am not able to visit. Of course, many authors visit the places we will write about, but sometimes, it is impossible, especially in fantasy. Plus, it costs a lot of money depending on where we want to go - I set my next book in a desert in Africa.
I love learning about it while researching and mixing it with my endless imagination.

I read many books and watch documentaries/movies, even visit the place if I am able, to learn about the location, people, animals, and culture I want to write about. So, yes, it is the research phase.
Once I absolve all the information, I close my eyes and start imagining. I tend to have fun with this process during my writer's block.

A prequel to The Last Circus but with more fictitious characters. The story is set in the desert. I plan to publish it before the fall of 2023.
