I've been searching the web for a quiet place to escape to in December for a few consecutive days of work on my novel. You'd think I found the perfect place: I was offered a cabin, tucked away in dunes, on an island all the way in the North of Holland, which you can only […]
moreMy son is sick. It's raining. I am battling lack of sleep and mindblowing amounts of snot. In the process, I have come to know all the dialogue of our Bob the Builder DVD off by heart.
