About Me

Hello you!

I'm Willem and I'm a writer (among other things). You will find some information on my work and miscellanea, should you browse around a little. Who knows, you might even find the hidden travel page. Meanwhile, I'll continue producing pretty amazing stories and legendary characters, rock an unfashionable beard that brings a lot of joy to the world. Additionally, I fool around the more "avant-garde" music scene and occasionally deal with other "artsy" and creative things. If you are looking for someone to cooperate with on a project, send a message.

Do you have too much money and don't know where to put it? How about being my patron? https://www.patreon.com/willemsix. I'll update it very soon for sure. Probably. Or, just email me etc.

enjoy life,

-Willem-

2. July - 100% moisture

As the air mmm-moisture has just peaked at 100%, I'm typing this to say hello. I'm still alive. The "work" page was updated in June and you'll find the brief description of the latest trailblazing stunner at the bottom of the list of finished manuscripts. The next one will be ready sometime in the autumn. In the meantime, I'll be entering studio to record some shits and giggles for an album and probably visit a few adventurous places...

enjoy life,

5. April - after UNESCO

Early spring got me in a hunting mood and so I tracked down and scored one more UNESCO site. Now that the pressing urges of adventuring and colleting are temporarily subdued, it is time to continue writing. The next manuscript should be ready in early May. More details on the "work" page in due time.

enjoy life,

-W.6-

6. March - start with a delayed bang

New year, new stories. One of which was updated on the "work" page right ... just a moment ago. The page mentioned will go through a little simplification process in a bit and that should make it easier to scroll through. Meanwhile, other mean stories are brewing.

enjoy life,
