I love grammar. I know, most people don’t and with that claim they often give me those looks as if I had lost my mind 😉 All those pesky rules with their irritating exceptions could drive anyone mad. I like to listen to foreign languages and recognize grammatical patterns, such as conjugations for example. It’s […]
Don’t get me wrong. I love Money Heist – original name: La Casa de Papel in Spanish. Its original name intrigued me and as soon as I started watching episode 1 of season 1, I was hooked, seriously hooked! The story sucked me in and the characters are real, showing a very humane side. You […]

In my previous post about The Rise of the Stone – Prequel to the Path of the Stone, I shared a small sneak peek of this book I am working on. Now I’d like to share a bigger excerpt. This is a part of chapter 1 and it details the dream I had a few […]
Until now, I haven’t made a pre-order available so early, but so far I have also never written two books that were both based on dreams and both about the same characters. In November 2020 I had a dream about me battling flying metallic snakes, and when I woke up I immediately wrote it down. […]
Paying a book reading pool to get beta reports is worth the investment, but obtaining an organic book review isn’t easy, especially if you’re an unknown author. If you published on Amazon it’s even harder, because Amazon has this (silly and counterproductive) rule that friends and family are not permitted to leave reviews. Why it […]
Starting a website, building traffic, writing articles; in summary, managing a website is a lot of work, at least if you want Google, Bing, and/or Yahoo to notice you. Writing blogs and hitting the publish button isn’t enough for readers to find you. You have to work to become visible. It often keeps me busy […]
First of all, you’re not a failed author, although I guess we are all plagued by those damaging thoughts sometimes. There are plenty of reasons, though, to think that you have failed as a writer, and believe me, those reasons have nothing to do with you. So, before I begin, you are NOT a failed […]
The word success is often associated with a full bank account and lots of cash, but if that is true then the term success is limited. If we put success and money on the same level and everything else on a less important scale, I think that we’d be setting ourselves up for lack in […]
I used to sit a lot, at least until my back was injured in November 2020 and for months I couldn’t sit. It changed everything for me. Until then, the health benefits of a standing desk hadn’t occurred to me. Even when I placed a box on my desk and my laptop on top of […]
There are writers who write and then there are writers who spout out rule after writing rule on social media. You can’t do this, you can’t do that. I hate this, I don’t like that. There seems to be an endless list of what we should and shouldn’t do, but in all honesty, a story […]
