Wow, that is sometime ago. Nowadays I am near the senior citizen age. I recall having written a novel in my teens. Looking back it was a very naive science-fiction story about a space ship crash-landing on an unknown planet and the passengers trying to survive. Lots of adolescent ideas about love and human interaction as a teenager, or me at least, would see this.

Well, that was mainly because in my youth I read a lot, mostly SF and Fantasy, and there were not a lot of books in that genre in my native language, Dutch. Most books I read were from the local library and their collection did not grow very much, so at some point I decided to write my own stories.
Later in life I started to play role playing games in the dragons-and-dungeons setting and wrote a few articles on why there were hardly any settings in today's world or SF RPG's. These articles were met with some enthusiasm. I created an RPG system based in an SF setting and ran a campaign. I wrote some session logs about that campaign, which were quite popular. All in all I liked writing, but lost interest in it for quite some time.
