Until The Throwing Up Starts

It’s about time for an update, isn’t it?Those of you I talk to regularly are vaguely aware of what’s going on with my writing “career,” but that one person in England who accidentally bought a book might still be curious. So this is for you, one person in England! I was actually quite close to …

Trophy Unlocked

About a year ago, give or take a few days, my book came out. Or rather, I put it out myself and then yelled at everybody within earshot it was available. And a lot of you listened! Some bought the book because they needed a reliable door stopper, others because I emotionally blackmailed them, and …

The Bakkerbaard Method

Now available! The Bakkerbaard-method for learning Dutch! Easy! Quick! Cheap! The key to learning is to make it entertaining. That’s why you remember more Star Wars quotes than maths. To that end, I have compiled an educational package that focuses on entertaining you, instead of beating dry theory into your skull.With the Bakkerbaard-method, you can …

Unclean!

Guess who’s got the covid! Yeah, my number was up, apparently.Strange how you never hear anyone about how it turned the lower half of their face into Freddy Krueger. But hey, at least I still have my sense of taste.Anyway, it’s not all bad news. Unless you’re one of the coworkers that has to cover …

It Might Get Loud

Nope, sorry. This has nothing to do with the music project I talked about in the previous post. Just forget about that. Pretend I never said anything. Don’t make me wave my Jedi-hand, goddammit. I will do it. You don’t wanna get Jedi-pimp slapped. I’m not that good yet and I might erase the names …

I Have A Plan!

You thought I was dead, didn’t you? No? Aw.I can’t wait to get famous enough for people to start thinking I’ve died. That’s how you know you’ve made it. Someone, somewhere, suddenly rubbing their chin and going, “Hey, didn’t he die at some point?”They’ll google me, click their way here, and BAM! Still alive, and …

Shoutouts!

The book’s been out for almost a month now and it did pretty well. Relatively speaking, anyway. I haven’t seen any numbers from official sales channels, and I don’t expect to see a number very much higher than zero in the near future, but personally I was pleasantly surprised. I expected to make, like, ten sympathy-sales, …

Hello World!

Well, ain’t that a bitch. You spend all your videogame time on writing a book, pump a bunch of money into all kinds of professional sounding stuff, get a good looking cover done, and then you try to get your stuff published.Now, I’m not so delusional that I’m walking up to an established publisher and …

Delays

Due to several reasons and a temper tantrum, the release of As Far As Souls Go needs to be pushed back. I’m giving it an extra week, so that would make it November 8th.Some of you might know me personally and raise a few eyebrows at that. I’m guessing two, but some people only have …

Proof One

For full effect, add an expletive of your choosing every fifth word. Unfortunately, I’m unable to do so at this moment, because I’m trying to save up on curses for the next time I stub my toe or step on a Lego. This is a bit of a good news, bad news situation. The good …
