A look behind the scenes of the current writing work
Hold my beer, ehm, book
Some time ago I sat in the cinema and let myself be enchanted by Wes Anderson’s “Asteroid City”.At...
About frozen fairies and special moments
The new writing year began with the shattering of a dream. As so often, my plans had been...
A Journey Comes to an End
Recently, my phone reminded me of the point I was at three years ago. Photos of bright yellow bushes, red earth, enchanted paths, and an impossibly wide sky danced before my eyes, and I was instantly transported there. To Santa Fe, New Mexico, the land of enchantment....

New York, New York
It all went a bit slow. Not only the decision making, but also the application for the journalist visa, plus an own entry permit N.I.E. (National Interest Exception) that I needed to even enter the US, at the moment. After a long filling out of some, in part very...

For what feels like an eternity, I’ve been talking about starting a blog. One that talks about the development of my writing projects, looks at what’s behind them, revolves around them, shows the direction they’re growing. Now the time has come. Voilà, here it is. The...
