Trusting my own idea

While writing this book of mine, something felt not right. First I thought it was the language I was writing it in, so I started writing in another one (being multilingual can be a blessing and a curse), but it still felt off.

The end that is a beginning

Today I finished typing out my book notes. It felt good to finally have it done, but it’s also scary. Now the real work begins.

100 days writing project

I'm on the day 30 of my 100 days writing project. Every day I sit at my desk and write for 15 minutes towards my book. That's it. It doesn't have to be anything brilliant, it doesn't have to be something I'm sure I can use, it just has to be something that brings me … Continue reading 100 days writing project
