Very interesting to imagine you as a young woman starting this journey into the unknown. What made you do it, what motivated you? Did you consciously want to make experiences, was it more of a mature or a rather immature decision? You seem to have tended to observe the world as a young woman, more in the background than in the foreground. And I was reminded of my youth, looking through the records of my older brother's girlfriend, fascinated by her things, the furniture, the décor, the interests to be discovered. I'd like to hear a bit more about your time as a bartender, a job where you meet an incredible number of people. Do you have any bar guests in your memory? You've led a really rich life, which gives material for writing, I think. With the times of parenthood even more so than when you don't have children. I can relate to your attraction to artists, for example, as I am also drawn to them. My own dream of working in the theatre as a make-up artist is not something I pursued either, but as life is always plentiful with alternatives, I came a little close to it.

These non-fictional stories have a beautiful power, I very much welcome reading them and often find personal anecdotes of "ordinary people" much more exciting than the yellow press and celebrity topics.

Your life and professional experience is reflected in your confident way of writing.
