One more thing: I noticed that some time or other you changed your surname. No matter. I am intrigued, however, with your current moniker: Nolan Yuma. I sound the two names aloud and, somehow, out comes: "No land/Human." Coincidence?

My full name is Nolan Yuma Janssens. I use Nolan Yuma for writing because it’s easier to put on a book cover haha.

Do you have a single inch of fat on your body? ;-)

Writing for others seems like a lofty -- and, at times, profitable -- idea. But it's also mercenary at best and prostitution at worst. You write because the words, the thoughts, the syntax all scream to be released. Then you worry those words until you are satisfied with the result. It's you: the word made flesh. ¡Caramba, chico, eres maravilloso! Escribe las canciones de tu corazón sin preocuparte de los demás. Si te encuentras satisfecho con la obra, vale ... y venga.

Haha well, around 9-11% body I think. I haven’t checked in a while.

“Mercenary at worst and prostitution at worst.” It’s like I'm on the fence with OnlyFans, haha. Sell what I can to have time and money to write what want and help like-minded people.
