Almost there

 Just a quick update on the last book. The story is almost complete. I'm just doing my last read-through with touch-ups and some little additions here and there. After this, I will contact an editor and then the schedule is really in their hands. Of course, I need to start working on the cover so that will take a bit of time too. The drawing and processing of the cover isn't all that time-consuming, the hardest part is coming up with what to draw.

It is a rather funny feeling to be nearing the end of 4 years and 4 books project. What will I do with my time after all of it? I have some ideas for stories but I also wrote many stories that never saw the light of day before publishing this series so I know I will very likely keep on writing but whether any of them will end up as books... Well, only time will tell.

It’s a strange thing to want to experience life. I want to travel and have all sorts of foods, drinks and soak up different influences… but while I love all of it, I can travel to far more rare places within. As a child, I had no trouble imagining a dragon landing in our yard. And in my eyes, it was as real as anything there. If you could have ta

Music for writing

I couldn't imagine writing without music. It helps to surround me with a barrier to keep our world and its mundane worries out and to transport me to other worlds. I rarely listen to purely instrumental music, but writing sessions are the exception (not always). I like music from all sorts of genres and from all over the world but not many of my favorite bands or singers make it to my writing music lists. Normally, depending on my mood, I listen to things like Tom Waits, StrayKids, DPR Ian, Dimash, Moloko, Blondie, Sister's of Mercy, Nick Cave (and most rock 'n roll songs from the 60's, rock songs from the 70's, metal from the 80's and 90's, and many of the poppier song from that era too, oh, and musicals and classical music and Bollywood songs. Yeah..., it would likely be hard to find a type of music I didn't at least find one band or song I liked...). Back to writing music. It needs to have a certain touch of magic and melancholy, a yearning for someth
