It’s the first of July. This means that the first half of this year has passed. And it was a good year so far. I did overcome my fear of flying (it seems), was finally able to make up for 3 years without carnival in Cologne, started writing for more publications than ever before in my life, and created a huge project together with a friend that I have not seen very regularly these last years. On the downside I’m basically always tired, have constant dark circles around my eyes and ruined my stomach. But who cares?

The next big thing on my list is the book. Gulp. But we collected so much interesting stuff and material in Iceland, I think I’ll be able to create something out of it. And I hope that after finishing my current writing course, I’ll be able to pitch a couple of stories to bigger (or printed) magazines. So, if you know someone who is searching for an expat writer who loves to write about music, my “about”-page has just been updated. Danke. Here’s to another great six months.
