To truly write with your soul, you have to erase all distractions, you have to focus on your writing. But this is not enough because, well, some thoughts about writing are distractions too.

On Chesil Beach is a novel shortlisted for the Booker Prize. [...]

It is not only the end of yet another year, it is also the beginning of a decade, and a lot of the people I’ve talked to seem to have forgotten. Why do I care? Simply put, because if it is important to start a new year upright with winds of chage for the good [...]

Very much unlike my Book of the Decade, choosing my Song of the Decade was rather simple. There is one song that stands out from the rest, not only because of its music or lyrics but also because the impact it had on my life.
