Figment: a thing that someone believes to be real but that exists only in their imagination

Figments come and go as they please, roaming through my head like tiny fireflies or brilliant flashes. They can’t be tamed, but might be willing to yield to a kind nudge, very gently. These figments express themselves through photos, music and poetry, art and stories. Thank you for reading my dreams…

Southern temperament with a soft voice, though strong enough to keep two sons in check. Bandit, my lazy but funny tom cat, on the other hand, goes his own way.

Writing is my passion, in English on this blog and in Dutch on Doldriest. I hold a bachelor’s degree in sociological recreation and am working as information manager and e-learning coach at a university. DutchText is my writing company.

I’m an avid reader of fantasy, mysteries & thrillers (Boekaholic), play RPGames and am roleplayer in Dungeons & Dragons campaigns, as you can read in Dungeon Dutchess.

In Blog! I gather information on writing and blogging (in English and Dutch) and am co-writer of Dierlantijnen (in Dutch).
