Snippets of Thoughts on Life, Work, and Writing

A year ago, I launched this blog as an idle outlet for my thoughts and ideas. As sprinkles of genuine attractiveness you will find cute photos of our dog Sherlock. It is a nod to the internet: puppies always sell!

One these pages, some content is in German and most in English. Despite all hiccups, I am happy to report, that it did indeed help me with my original plan: after a very long hiatus, I got back to writing and finished the draft to my second novel. And more importantly, my posts help me finding clarity in the many questions that arise in daily life. If any of you find anything useful on these pages, I would indeed be as happy as puppy!

    Should one travel in this day and age?

    I love to see new places. Those can be close to home or far away. I know that a person’s time on beautiful Earth is limited, and it would be a shame to not explore what is out there to admire. However, I wonder, should one still travel internationally when we know about all its… Read more
