Who am I 

02.

 

 

 

 

 

As a child of ten years old, I wrote my first book.  

Of course I wrote into a cheap notebook and used also a cheap ballpoint pen. 

For years and years,  my book remained (a manuscript if you will say it with a difficult word) in a drawer, until I completely forgot about it being there.

On my sixteenth, I threw it away it into a trash basket.

Honestly, now I am sorry about it, but it has happened.

 

When I was a teenager, I wrote many articles regarding different subjects, that were published in different magazines.

Still doing it nowadays, you know!

(At the moment a lot more in the Netherlands than in Dutch speaking Belgium.)

 

On top of that I was mostly intrigued by nature, especially animals.

I could sit for hours on my knees,

looking at a bunch of ants,

a digging earthworm

a swinging beetle,

or a 'webbing' spider.

 

Those two subjects -writing and observing animals- seemed to match perfectly.
