• New Year’s resolutions

    For 2025, the same as for 2024: Having this book written. Because this is more than a book, this is a plan, a dream, a goal. Since 1995 when I got my first diary (a small, green book from Naf Naf with a locker), writing and reading have been my escape from life, a way

  • The book genre

    Should I do a big reveal for it? Or probably you guess it already? Although I am due to a lot of “currently reading” books for you… But the genre is High Fantasy. With a side portion of romance, a pinch of contemporary, some drops of poetry and a breeze of smut. It will be

    …at the office. Little plate of pasta, 3 decafs, 2 screens and a lot of research and learning done. If you want to write undisturbed and you have young kids (as I do), the quite night office is the way to go. Of course, for the first time, had to explain to my boss why

  • The correct answer would be, do a course, of course. Especially because the only thing I studied in my life was business, finance and investments. Don’t take me wrong, those are very useful skills to have in life. But I never took anything creatively, because of yes, for the fun of it. All my studies

  • We also have…

    …a map. And cities. And general geography, politics, religion, and rules. And we might also have a new species of magical beings. And who knows about a multiverse? My brain is going there, but the details required for it are crushing me. One thing is for real, I am enjoying every second of this creative
