As of last midnight the Netherlands is in semi lockdown again.
Only necessary shops like supermarkets, pharmacies etc. are open, the rest will be closed until January 19. Schools are closed too.
I think it's the best solution,...

So, I'm writing a book -- or I'm soon to start writing my book, at the moment it's just a lot of notes! -- and I've been exploring which route to take when the time comes: whether to go for an agent and a traditional deal or...

I was watching the news today, and media reports a new strain of the corona virus. It was said it is 70 times worst than what we have seen. How in the world could it have happened. I just began to pray. I can't even imagine...

Marisa Wright One important thing to be aware of: if you're only going to publish one or two books, don't self-publish, even on KDP, because your book will likely sink without trace and make no sales at all. It is much, much harder to gain a following these days on...

I read that we will soon be getting the vaccines here and that even with them will have restrictions. So, will they be better than nothing or what? I do not know what the restrictions will be but am wondering since so many here do...

Will you be there, when my world crumbles down
and when my soul is not what it should be.
When past and present take their liberty,
to spin my mind, just like the mill in town.
Will you please hold me, when I seem to drown,
in...

My "pop psychology" thought for the day. I've come to the conclusion that every human being NEEDS to feel part of a tribe. It's a fundamental part of our nature.
I know that for many people, their "tribe" is their nation. But...

My husband and I had homemade pizza tonight for dinner. My son had corn dogs since he hates pizza but they turned out really well. We made our own dough and our own sauce. Our sauce was actually frozen from the last time we made...

Marisa Wright I've only visited the US a few times. The main thing I noticed about the food was the portion size - twice the size of what you'd get in a British or Australian restaurant. We would order one meal to share and even then, it was often too much.
