As an author I'll always also keep on reading books! Gaming is something I do to spark the worldbuilding :D

Books!

Cherries, melons and everything to store them in! And other tasty, snacks to celebrate my writing milestones!

Tasty (and healthy) snacks!

Lego fun

In case there's no electricity, or gas. Or if there's a flooding. These things might come in handy!

Emergency preparations

Besides writing I'm also working on two small games. Any help with buying plugins and such for developing these games is highly appreciated!
