"Writing's 10% inspiration and 90% transpiration."

Some say literature can change the world. I believe it can't, but it can change people and people change the world. Writing enables me to get to know the world and myself and to handle it all.

Since I'm Belgian (Flemish), I mostly write in Dutch, but I have a bunch of LGBT+ one-shots, a completed novella about a queer, demiromantic and asexual vampire, and a novel in English about a gay divorcee. If you write something LGBT+ (and it's not horror/thriller), you can hit me up for a critique exchange.

I am part of the rainbow (she/they, queer and ace, aro-spec) and I celebrate my fellow rainbow people on this profile, so send me a message if you want to (but please don't subject me to small talk because I'm very bad at that)!

I'm also a violinist and a classical music nerd (there are very few non-classical songs I like) and I hardly watch any movies/series/shows, so don't expect that kind of references. I'm a literature and language girl all around (I've a master and teaching degree in Ancient Greek and Latin, and am doing a library degree) and I love history and art and philosophy and science and anything intellectual, so really I'm just a big nerd.
