Thrilling books and gripping stories, all in one place.
"You're really spending a lot of time with that writing?" I've wanted to write about this for a while now. It's been on my mind for ages and though it usually never bothers me at all, these little comments keep gnawing at me. So I'm warning you, this might end up being a Rant©, but... Continue Reading →
I'm a man of habit. That's not something I say lightly, it's not just a casual saying to me. What I mean is that I'm extremely habitual, scheduled, and organized. Extremely. I love habits. I like being organized. I like following a set program. Every. Single. Day. It sounds boring to some people, but to... Continue Reading →
At the start of this year, I had a plan. A really good plan, if I get to say so myself. I made a calendar in Excel, mapped out when I'd be doing what, which of my manuscripts needed to be revised, edited, read through, and fixed. I had deadlines plotted in, and I even... Continue Reading →
It's been a while since I've written anything on this blog, and while I have plans for some future posts and reviews, nothing is going as planned because of the Covid-19 outbreak. So I figured I'd write a bit about that first, and then about how my writing is going. If you've paid attention, you... Continue Reading →
I got to say, I hate the holidays. I always think I'll have more time, to write, to read, to do stuff in general and it never fails to backfire. I should know this by now, but I keep forgetting every year. This time, I feel like it's taken me particularly long to get back... Continue Reading →
We're well into December, I know I'm late, but I wanted to wrap up how I did for NaNoWriMo and what I'm focusing on now that it's all over. First of all, I didn't "win". To win NaNoWriMo, you have to write 50.000 words, which for some reason is a novel to them. Well, I... Continue Reading →
Let's just rip the band-aid off quickly, shall we? I haven't written nearly enough for my NaNoWriMo project this year. Considering it's already the 14th, and I've barely scratched the bottom of 12.000 words, I'm not hopeful about "winning". Last year, I did it all in a week, and though I wasn't planning on doing...

One of the best places to be a writer is Twitter. No joke. I love it not only to find cool books, meet new people, and talk about the books we love, but also because it's a great place to brainstorm with like-minded people. One thing we talked about a little while ago was working... Continue Reading →
I thought I'd write a little post on how I build my characters, so here goes. First of all, I usually tumble across an idea inside my mind, and when I do it’s as if I haven’t had the idea myself, but as if someone left it there, for me to find. I’ll look... Continue Reading →
