Hello friends, it’s been a little while since I last updated this page, so the start of 2026 seemed like a great moment for this. Allow me to reintroduce myself. My name’s Nick and I’m a 30something year old English teacher from the Netherlands. I take a lot of joy and pride in my work which is something that I wouldn’t have believed a decade ago, so take that for a motivational moment.
I’ve been writing stories since the 90s, and during the covid era I started to post some of them on this blog. Soon I got quite addicted to the process and seeing people read, interact and like my posts brings me a lot of joy, so I will continue doing so. My series “The Hesitant Hero” is probably my most consistent work here, but I have other stories I’m working on as well and I often talk about life and anime.
The schedule changes from time to time, but currently you can expect the following:
– A Tuesday post with an anime/manga related topic
– A Friday post with a chapter of the Hesitant Hero (volume 5) or a related piece of world building
I will take weeks off from either regularly, but it should be consistent enough to call it a schedule.
Below you’ll find an old picture of me – which I should probably replace soon, remind me – and several pictures of my cat Nami as well as my previous cat Kokkino (the red one). Please leave a like or a comment under any posts of mine that you enjoy, because it truly brightens my day when someone does so, I get an e-mail every time and it never gets old. Thanks for reading!
