The Who, What & Why

September 30th, 2015

I am back to write here. I’ve let it slip away and I miss it so much: the thoughts and ideas that I put onto paper helped me in the past in many ways. There are many reasons why I stopped writing. Nevertheless here I am again and back to write.

The process of writing is one of creation. That is good and satisfactory in itself. I also know writing enables you to look at all the stuff in your head from a different perspective. This is healing for me as a writer. So on a personal level I need my writing as a tool during my search for my new place in this world. I promise to try to make it interesting for you as a reader too. Bear with me.

I am a writer. And this blog will be about writing.

More specifically, I intend to use it as a sort of personal diary. It is a place where I will record the different steps, big and small, I will be taking while I’ll go about writing my first novel. In Dutch. Which I intend to finish in 2010.  The posts here will be about writing and also about reading. And everything in between, other stuff I stumble upon and find interesting

There’s a year of hard work ahead, and this blog is a way to bear witness of it. Of course I hope that you, as a reader , will find something interesting to read here. If so let me know and leave a comment. My goal is, come December, to have a variety of posts, thoughts, observations and ideas that would otherwise not be recorded.  As we are already closing off January, I guess I’d better get on with it.

Other stuff? I am also mother of a 10-year-old daughter, a long distance runner and I work at a Dutch Publishing House. Of course there’s more, but these things might pop up here and there.
