Forward Motion

Hello world,

Chapter 10 for Battlestar Xanthi is now up. And Chapter 11 is in the works, which brings me to another point....

The End is Neigh

What exactly that means, I'm keeping under wraps. The only clue you're going to get is Chapter 10. Want to know more ? Read the chapter.

Two new blogs

Hello world,

So....things have not been going well in the book department. Sales of Hollywood are frozen solid and - probably a result of the sales - my inspiration for the sequel has tanked. (No point in writing part 2 if part 1 isn't going anywhere.) Today's attempt to do something about that was to widen my internet footprint.

I started two new blogs. One over at Bol.com - in Dutch - and a second English one. And then I cross-connected the lot. The Dutch blog is to allow me to write stuff in my native language as well. (That, and hopefully attract people to this blog as well.) The English blog - 128 - is not really a blog....

It's more of a library. A place where I can publish/put the stories that - because I've been so busy with Hollywood and Frontier Fleet - have stayed in the icebox for years. I'll be honest...it's going to be a struggle to find time (and inspiration) to write all this. But if you want an easy, well paying job, don't become a writer.

That's it for now.

Breaking out the duster

Hello world,

Time to dust off my blog....After a very nice vacation on Crete, my day job threw me into a two week period of chaos. (I'll spare you the details, but the place was a mess.) The good news is that the dust is slowly settling now.

The bad news is that the vacation period is about to start. And that means that officially the amount of work will go down....But because half the department will be gone, you end being three times as busy.

The result of this is that my writing has been not getting much traction lately. I figured it was time to do something about that. Starting with my blog...
