+++Day One+++

Heyhey:)

 

If you are reading this, then this means that www.notonprint.com is online. As of now it mostly is an unfinished project so I want to guide you a little through what we have so far: 

 

This right here is my diary. I upload here whenever I feel like it or when there are things happening, mostly about the website and the content, but maybe in my life as well, we’ll see about that…

This is part of the text section, where I will upload most consistently. Aside from the diary I do reviews, short stories and a fantasy series called the Red Stream. 

The coming soon section currently is used to show what I want to have published before notonprint is in version 1.0. For the future I want to commit to a set timetable for regular uploads of reviews, short stories and chapters for The Red Stream, just give me some time to get used to the website first:)

Audio is also something where I currently have collaborative projects in the working, let's see where this might go.

About is the section where I would like to introduce everyone involved in  www.notonprint.com. Currently this is Jolyne (Jay), my dear girlfriend, who is in charge of developing the website and me, writing text.

Then there is homepage, also still work in progress(:

 

So yeah this www.notonprint.com feel free to explore and dive in. If you are interested in knowing a little more about the text I already have uploaded there is a short overview just below

 

Until next time,

Kassandra <3

+English+

So here is an overview of the english writings currently on notonprint:

 

1. The Red Stream: These are the first pages of chapter one of “the Red Stream - A Deal with Death”. Chapter one features a small inn, where a couple of characters come together. Meet The Old Wanderer, Sim and a bunch of other figures that will guide you deeper through the Red Stream, as this project goes on.
2. Review - Hurry up Tomorrow: As of now The Weeknd dropped his last album under this name. Able Tesafay’s most complex dissection of his own persona and why he has to let go of it. This album really impressed me. Why? Read at in the review section.
3. Review - Eusexa: FKA Twigs also dropped an awesome LP this year, give it a listen if you like alternative electronic pop or read my review on it:)
4. Shortstory - Space Girl: Liv is just a space girl living the Space Girl live

+++Update+++

04.01.

 

Hey again:)

 

I took a longer break. Now that I finally got back to work we have some Updates, here we go:

First things first, if everything goes according to plan, you now have the option to switch between an english and a german version of this website. Just click the button on the top right corner and select your preferred language. 

We also have a proper homepage now.

Aside from that we did some more small fixes with hyperlinks, spelling and stuff, but nothing huge.

 

There is also some text on the page I have not talked about so far. 

“The Zone of Interest” is a movie that I highly recommend, I also think in my review are some perspectives that could add to your perception of the film:)

“Letzte Worte” and “Flug in die Nacht” are the short stories I wrote in 2023 while applying for some writing universities. While I have changed a lot since then I still like how they reflected on my life at that time.

"Spiritfarer" is an indie game one could play via Netflix abo or buy - I really liked that too.

And for my review on “Apothecary Diaries” I did something different: I mainly talked about the relationship between tone and setting, feel free to check that out as well:)

So where are we now? I had some plans and ideas, but life just got in the way. For now I plan to upload something new every Sunday and possibly finalize a longer term plan for notonprint that I surely will tell you about in the future

 

See you soon

+++ 1 month of weekly Uploads +++

01.02.2026

 

I did it:)

After last year when I was taking a very long break because of the intense launch of the website, I am now very happy to report that the first month of 2026 I managed to keep a routine for the first month. The idea to have a set day on which I just upload whatever I have so far finished really seems to work for me. I wrote not daily but still regularly. Instead of just throwing ideas away when they get too big or I fail at executing them I now finish some small projects every week. That keeps me motivated. I consider maybe taking off a week from time to time if that helps me focus on bigger projects, but probably not in February.

 

Anyways I want to share some thoughts on what I wrote so far. The Red Stream chapter one developed differently from what I had originally planned. But the idea of keeping it shorter and ending it on a cliffhanger opened better options for chapter two then what I initially planned so I am confident in that decision. Places is fun and works really well against writer's blockade. I hope there is something there for the readers. Everything else was mostly fun:)

 

Also I was informed that Google autotranslated text for some readers. I deactivated it. When I want text translated in my opinion it would be necessary for a human to translate otherwise, there is just no control over tone and other nuances.

 

That's it. Looking forward to the future of notonprint, currently I am sitting on a folder to apply for a university in creative writing again. I might as well post updates on that.

 

Sincerely Kassandra <3

+++Application Folder Leipzig+++

01.03.2026

 

In my last Update I mentioned the folder for the university of Leipzig I was working on. I just sent it away this weekend. Most of the text I wrote last month was written for this application. Amongst those were two uploads I want to address, since they broke format a little.

 

1. The Zone of Interest Review: So I already had a Review for The Zone of Interest, but I wanted to also have a review in my Folder for Leipzig and it would have to be German. Since I have a lot to say about this movie and since I have developed some new ideas, I wrote a new review in German.

It was different, but I liked doing a German review for once, there might be more to come in the future.

1. Marry Messer: Marry Messer was an idea that I had in the back of my head for longer. Since it would have to be a bigger project, I kept postponing it. But eventually I just started writing. It now is like The Red Stream, a bigger project, a serial. This time in german. This time a coming of age story. I am really excited about it.

That's it for now.

sincerely

Kassandra
