Patreon

Dit voelt echt héél oncomfortabel. En dat is de reden waarom ik het eindelijk ga doen. Ik lanceer een eigen Patreon. Waarom dat niet zo leuk voelt? Twee redenen. Het voelt alsof ik me heel kwetsbaar opstel, want het kan goed zijn dat niemand mijn werk ook maar één cent waard vindt en dat dit […]
