I am a long-time electronic-music producer, you can find me with the nickname Xplore if you look me up on Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, etc. In 2017 I founded my own independent record label where I publish a lot of my music lately, and since I also had the opportunity to self-publish eBooks and also get out AudioBooks on my music distributor, in May 2018 I took the challenge to start writing and since then, I never stopped. I discovered that creating music and creating books is similar, and it is a definite outlet to showcase your creativity. I praise them both and try to honor them in the same way.

I am currently working on a book in the spiritual area called "Mindfulness in your everyday life", which is at its first draft, almost finished. And also, in parallel, I have a science-fiction book, my first sci-fi book to be published, which is 60% done. I would like to keep the title secret until I will actually have it ready to be published. Along these, I have a lot of books started, as concept and title, but I will leave those for the following years.

The main thing that keeps people from writing is the thought "I could never write an entire book by myself". This is only a mental blockage. Everyone in this world can write and everyone can train more and more their creativity, if they come, let's say from a very technical background. So keep writing, keep the creativity flowing, you can always stop and finetune things later.

I never knew before I actually started to write consistently that being a writer and writing each day on your books is such a fantastic thing. There is tremendous joyfulness in writing, in creating your own worlds, your own characters, beautiful scapes, and situations and also shaping your book bit by bit until it becomes ready to publish. It is a lot of work too, but it always pays off.

I tend to go to far-away, imagined placed, that can resonate with the reader a lot. Be it a similar world with ours but with a few changes that make all the difference to a completely out-of-this-world place, the characters will start making you feel that you are becoming part of the book, page by page, and the whole story, after you read it all, will become a stepping stone into your own creative world, as a reader.

I am trying to write a book that I would want to read when I write. I try to dwell into my characters' personalities, be themselves when they speak or act, befriend them, try to see the whole scene from a birds-eye view, write as much detail as I can and write continuously, as I see in my mind's eye the scene developing. Later on, I can add more detail and can correct here and there, but the key to keeping writing is not so perfectionist at the first draft.
