Writer of sorts l Photographer of sorts l Eternal Traveller l Gamer

Hello! I'm Jo (Joséphines), Belgium-based, 32.

While I've been part of FictionPress for several years, I'm not entirely certain I've ever really taken the time or made the effort to introduce myself here. I discovered the wonders of the World Wide Web, and its opportunities, as a pre-teenager. For most of my life, it has offered an ever-invaluable way for me to connect with people all over the world, through stories, through photography, through gaming. As an adult, I can't deny that an increased lack of free time does have an impact on all of those things, but that doesn't mean that my self-expression doesn't matter anymore, when I get to it in whichever form.

Apparently, I'm a workaholic, since I regularly answer work-related calls and mails long after work hours. While I have an MA in Criminology, I work in a slightly different field and manage a demanding team of thirty (mostly headstrong and contrarian, sometimes hilarious) people.

When I'm not gaming as a way to de-stress, I like to write and add to the epic novel I'm working on or process thoughts or feelings through journaling, or I go off into the world and take all sorts of pictures. Before pandemic times, I liked to travel. I'm looking forward to pick up on that again soon!

I live with Bert and share any and all of his attention with our wonderful feline threesome, Oreo, Milky and Lilith.
