European leaders rush to express their support to Ukraine, but actions speak louder than words: will Europe finally support Ukraine to win this war without restrictions?
Zelenskyy today showed what real strength looks like - it‘s time for Europe to follow suit!
We cannot rely on the US anymore.

Just watched ‚the War of the Rohirrim‘ and listening to the Lord of the Rings theme song in the cinema was absolutely brilliant - just like the rest of the movie. Highly recommend watching it!

Not to brag, but instead of sending my fully finished high fantasy manuscript to literary agents, I started working on the sequel.
40k words later, my manuscript is gathering dust, and my protagonist finds himself in deep trouble - just like my career.

Sunday. 3 pm. A rainy pitch. Fried sausages. Season-appropriate mulled wine. Lower-league football. This is all I need.

As we‘re slowly moving into the trashy Christmas movie territory, here’s a thought: a Christmas romance written and directed by Christopher Nolan.

What could possibly go wrong?

Years ago, I wrote a dystopian mystery-novella in which a sentient robot falls in love with a stripping cow.

I once mentioned its title during a job interview and one of the interviewers immediately began reading the online sample. I thought he was decently intrigued.

They never called me back.

Writing: every time I set an ambitious writing goal, I fail.

Once I simply sit down and type away, I somehow produce more words than I can count.

My key takeaway: my writing habits are consistently inconsistent, yet my crafting patterns are delightfully predictable.

Football: the German national team played 60 dull minutes against Hungary until Kai Havertz steps on the pitch. 2 minutes later the team enjoys its best sequence as Havertz hits the post with his first action - coincidence?

I‘m timcers:

policy analyst,
aspiring writer, and
football aficionado.

I talk about European defence & security, my adventures of writing the next great high fantasy novel, and my love for data and tactics in football.

Hop along for a wild ride as we create a wonderful space!
