Last year I made my first attempt to realise a dream I’ve had for a long time. I started to write a screenplay, my very first draft. I had no idea what I was doing, but I figured I’d watched quite a lot of films. I mean, how difficult could it be to write one…

We all know the quote. Even those who weren’t born yet. I was 2 weeks old at the time, when Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon: ”One small step for man. One giant leap for man-kind.” is what he said. Amazing. That’s exactly how I felt Friday, launching my brand new Facebook page. Amazing –…

Apparently there is a thing called ”Learning out loud”. It means to share a process – like how to write a book – on platforms like blogs, in social media and maybe even in said book. I like that idea. Basically because right now I have no other purpose than my own journey through life.…

It’s my birthday today. Yay! Do you look back on your life every year, on your birthday or perhaps on New Year’s Eve? Are you grateful for your achievements? Do you remember to thank yourself? I try to be grateful for being me – every day, not just on special occasions. I know what it’s…

We all have bad days. Perhaps we haven’t sleep well, we worry about something or we just feel off. What happens with our creativity when we don’t feel inspired? Generally it’s hard to get the wheels moving, but no need for despair. There is help to be found. At the bookstore. Years ago Julia Cameron, the…

We all feel lost at times, wondering who we really are and what we want to do with our lives. I don’t like being lost at sea, particularly if it’s a sea of self pity. Who wants to spend time there? But when it happens anyway it’s such a joy to find inspiration, something to push me back to the safe shore…

The sun rides over open fields . A turquoise ocean splashes background . Eternity is ticktocking over the mountains . Dusk falls, . One turquoise drop at a time . The elephant rests, . In the stillness of the wind . The night breathes Some sort of poem based on the word ”turquoise”. Written…

When my fear of writing gets too strong I procrastinate by looking for interesting articles on Facebook. I follow groups, people and organisations in various creative fields, and at least one of them always delivers. I find exactly what I need to read – in that moment – to get me going again. This Steven…

Fear is horrible. It might do us some good if we are in a life threatening situation and need to flee. But most of the time we fear silly things in everyday life, such as going to a party, having to make an important phone call, trying something new, making a presentation at work etc. Like…

In school we learn to do things right. We learn to spell correctly, how to pronounce foreign words, we learn how to read and write. Sometimes that is all we do, trying to make things right. If we succeed we get praised, but if we don’t… We disappear into the shadows of shame.

Last year I started off very bravely. It was my time to write that great script. I was on fire! But somehow the fire went out – again. Then a friend stuck a book in my hands. “Read this!” And I did.

…or tell that story. There are most certainly people out there who need to read or hear it. Writer’s block is just your ego and fear feeding you lies. So when will you stop listening to that voice and start listening to your heart? The founder of the Get Your Book Done program, Christine Kloser, said something…

It’s important to follow our dreams, no matter what. One day we will be in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing – because it’s the right thing to do.

Here we go! I’ve just created a site for my passions: writing, follow your dreams and Berlin. Often in that order.
