Introduction

Hey diary, 

At first I thought... Why not create a (diary)blog about my book? Write biographies about my characters, sneak peaks.. Things like that. But then I realised, if I do that where would I put my thoughts? So it'll be a combination of every day things, thoughts, feelings and most importantly of course; my book!

My name is Desirée but most people call me Desi. It's just easier that way ;) I'm 26 years old, living in Finland but I'm actually Dutch. Confusing much? Well long story short: I met a guy on the internet, we met in rl after 4 years of talking and I fell in love. After 8 months I decided I didn't like the distance and moved in with him. Now we're married and living happily ever after. Lol, well definitely happy, we'll see about the future later. The hubby is amazing though and gives me every freedom to write and find inspiration for my book. He's also a great sound board to bounce off ideas! What more could I want?! Simple, absolutely nothing.

But why start this blog now, in this specific time? Well, it all started with a headline; the letters are send. Now I know many people will not understand this, so I will explain it. The letters are military letters for everyone who is enlisted. Now why is this happening you ask? Because Finland is preparing itself in case something crazy happens, or more on point... if Russia happens. Of course the chances are slim, but would you want to risk it if your neighbour is doing things you don't understand? Probably not. Now the thing is, all young males are enlisted in the army once they finish High School. Which means, my hubby is one of those who will most likely recieve a letter... It's crazy, it's scary, it's messing with my mind. Therefore I decided, there's no time like the present to start writing again. Not just my book, but my feelings and thoughts as well. I want to organize things but also believe that the future will still turn out the way me and my husband envision.

So there you have it, these are my reasons for starting now. I'm hoping to finish my book by the end of this year and we'll see what else comes on my path along the way. 
Now it's off to bed with this aspiring writer, since it's almost 3:00am... Oops!
