I just found this place by accident while discussing Fight Club and Choke with a friend of mine.

Fight Club was the first time I'd seen any of Chuck's work. I'd avoided the movie when it first came out because I really didn't care for Brad Pitt and the posters looked a bit absurd. I came across it by accident one night while on shift. It was the opening scene where the narrator is discussing insomnia. I had to say I was transfixed. Before I realized it, the movie was over and I'd lost a couple of hours. Fortunately nobody cares what you do on night shift. I walked away genuinely surprised to have enjoyed the movie and the thought: well, at least I'm not that crazy.

I've been an insomniac for 16 years now with no real desire to change. No signs of schizophrenia, yet. Though I've been called a 'functional sociopath' by more than one shrink.

Other than that I'm pretty much a living, breathing cliche: A writer (with writers block), living in the Netherlands, drunk on Absinthe. I'm already divorced, maybe I should take up smoking and complete the picture.

Is a writer with writer's block really a writer?

Hi, but I don't like that you're a sociopath. Get some feelings. They're good for what ails you.

I have feelings. I keep them locked in a trunk under my bed. Every once in a while I take them out and admire them. Then I lock them back up and shove them back in the dark corner under the bed. Something about their frantic scrabbling inside the trunk amuses me.

Living in the Netherlands is a cliche?

Yeah, a writer with writer's block is a bit cliche. On reconsideration it's not accurate. I can, and do, frequently write. I just can't seem to get back on track with my main writing project. I'm accumulating a veritable mountain of bits and scraps of stories, but nothing coherent. My biggest problem is self-editing, once something gets past a couple hundred pages I lose focus and need someone else to go over it and point out where things go awry. I've got it all in my head so it makes sense to me, but just because it makes sense to me doesn't mean it will make sense to someone else.

And I'm in Heerlen. It's a nice little place to live.

I get that a lot. I'm not, I just don't like having my picture taken.
