Hello everyone,

I am now halfway done translating Until You Fall Asleep from the Dutch language to English. It’s both an exciting and excruciating process, to be quite honest. I hope specific sentences, little jokes, and the rhythm of the story do not get lost in translation. But there is a first for everything, I guess.

A small preview in the form of the shortest chapter has been added to the website. Chapter 6, called Birds, is now available to read, so I am really curious what you all think about it. You can find it by going to the story page and clicking on the Until You Fall Asleep button. This will also reveal the introduction to the story and the names of all the other chapters.

I hope you like it.

In order to give the website a bit more body, I have added yet another story to the website. This short story is called Snot and falls into the same category as usual: The things that I have kept from you. Someone having a little snack on the train makes me question the current state of my life.

Another short story has been added to the Other Stories page called Tightrope. I guess you could consider it the results of a short study in the duality in me. Or perhaps it’s just me overthinking some self-reflection. I hope you like it.

A new short story called Disrupted has been added to the Other Stories page of the website. It’s about looking in the mirror and sometimes liking what you see, and sometimes not so much. And how we change ourselves in order to feel wanted and adored.

Hey everyone,

Banners have now been added to pages on the website. All the illustrations on the banners have been made by me. These little monsters will now observe those that read. Don’t worry, they are quite friendly… Until they are not.

I hope everyone has recovered from all the December celebrations. The first short story of this year has arrived, called Attic. It has been added to the Other Stories section of the website.

Sometimes we have good days, and sometimes our days are not so great. That’s what makes us humans, I guess. I wrote this while walking through the city towards my designated destination. Life can be quite good some days. I do hope you like it.

Happy New Year, everyone! This will be the year that Until You Fall Asleep will slowly unfold. It will be shared in chapters on the website in English first. After that it will be compiled in PDF form in both English and Dutch to download and be shared.

It’s been quite a journey, but it’s time to share all. And that makes me quite nervous, to be honest, but that’s good nerves. I will need your feedback in order to become a better writer. So I would love to know what you think about it once it’s released.
