Greetings, fellow adventurer! My name is Laurensz.
I specialize in the fantasy genre. Nothing beats the thrill and excitement of being able to explore other realities while simultaneously crafting unique characters. My worlds, though vastly different from ours, resonate with universal human experiences, making the extraordinary accessible and the fantastical familiar.
Writing started out for me when I was still in primary school. One time in class, my teacher assigned the class to do a writing assignment with a maximum of four pages. While everyone was still working on their stories, I just started working on my fourth chapter. This early immersion into storytelling sparked a lifelong passion. From poetry to short stories, my journey through various literary forms eventually led me to where we are today: crafting worlds of fantasy for readers around the globe.
Outside of writing, my passions take me to watch the beautiful game of football and into virtual worlds through gaming. The strategic elements of both captivate me offering a different kind of challenge compared to crafting narratives, while simultaneously providing me with inspiration along the way. Whether it’s plotting plays on the pitch or navigating (complex) game mechanics, strategy games are where I find another layer of creativity.
When I want to relax, my entertainment palette leans towards genres that ignite the imagination. Whether it’s losing myself in the epic worlds of fantasy, exploring futuristic scenarios in sci-fi, or getting caught in the suspenseful twists of thrillers, these genres are my go-to. Not only do they provide a thrilling escape, they also serve as inspiration for my own storytelling, blending elements of wonder, innovation and suspense into my narratives.
When it comes to it, nothing beats a good movie or TV show. Whether it’s a blockbuster fantasy epic or a thriller, I enjoy the storytelling artistry in visual media. It’s here where I often find inspiration for characters, plots, or even just the mood I want to capture in my writing.
Now, if you’re thinking this all sounds a bit too serious, don’t worry. I’ve got my share of sarcasm about me. It’s not the kind that bites; it’s the kind that makes you laugh at the absurdity of it all. Think of it as my way of keeping things light. This touch of humor doesn’t just stop in my daily life; it weaves its way into my stories as well. If you enjoy the kind of story that can make you laugh amidst the chaos, you’re in for a treat with my work.
Alright, let me get serious one more time. If you’ve journeyed with me this far, a massive thank you is in order. Thank you for diving into my stories and the world around them.
