I grew up learning that writing is beautiful and that it paves the way for wisdom. And I've always been a fan of being wise. Because really, when you're wise, you can literally outsmart Socrates. 😏

I genuinely believe my books are going to go wild one day.
Maybe when I finally stop procrastinating. 🤭

characters. I want young writers to realize that imagination has no limits and that their weirdest ideas might become their best stories.
And what keeps me writing despite the challenges? Hope. Curiosity. Stubbornness. The belief that one unfinished manuscript

I love dragons, by the way, even if they aren't real. As for the kind of writer I want to become, I hope to create stories that stay with people long after they've turned the last page. I want readers to laugh, cry, overthink, and maybe even argue with my

Storytelling lets me live a hundred different lives. One day I'm writing about dragons, the next about cursed necklaces, lonely towers, stubborn heroines, impossible choices, and worlds that don't exist anywhere except in my head.

been my language. It's how I process emotions, express myself, and occasionally complain about the person who ignored my greeting. Poetry makes me think harder and question the English language because where exactly am I supposed to find words for some feelings?

I've experimented with different genres, but I think storytelling loves me the most.
I journal too, and trust me, you'd laugh if you ever read those pages. I've had full-blown arguments with the grass in my school compound. Poetry, on the other hand, has always

Most of them are unfinished and quietly gathering dust on my bookshelf, but they exist. And somehow, that makes me proud.
To me, writing is a free pass into a fantastical world. It's an escape from reality, but it's also a challenge to myself. I've experimented

I decided the story needed musical parts too. I still remember some adults laughing at it. I felt embarrassed and a little stupid that day, but surprisingly, it never made me quit.
Today, I've written more than twenty books. Most of them are unfinished and quietly

every book in my dad's mini library.
That made me want to become a writer even more.
I wrote my first book when I was six. It was called Mary's Birthday. Typical six-year-old title, honestly. It was heavily inspired by Sofia the First, and for some reason,

Back then, paper was basically sacred in my house. My dad would absolutely spank us if we wasted sheets he was saving to print important documents. So we treasured books. My siblings and I even had reading competitions, and together we almost finished

Who comes up with these stories? Imagine writing so creatively that a character ends up with a frog prince. That's not the kind of plot twist you see every day. I wanted to be part of that magic so badly that I'd sit down and copy whatever I saw on the screen into

pen for school practicals. Then I'd come home, spoil the pen, drain the ink, and use it to make wall murals. Gosh. My cousin once beat the hell out of me because of that.
The third reason was cartoons.
I grew up watching animated shows and thinking, Who comes up

It got so bad that I once lied to my teachers, saying I needed a

Every stroke looked intentional, every letter looked like art. The fact that both my parents wrote only inspired me even more.
Second, I wasn't allowed to use a pen until I could finally get my alphabet right... and also because I had a talent for turning harmless

I started my writing journey when I was five, mainly because of three reasons.
First, my parents. I've always admired how their handwriting looked, especially my dad's. His cursive was so elegant and beautiful that I became obsessed with figuring out how he did it.

You keep covering your "soul orb" with clouds, hoping someone notices your anger. But that performance only gives you early wrinkles, not peace.

Happiness is trying to reach you. Stop coughing it away. The key was always yours.

One quiet evening in my hometown, a little girl sat beside her grandfather, eyes wide with curiosity.
“Grandpa,” she asked, “why does our road have so many holes?

It’s about fixing roads, strengthening healthcare, and keeping the lights on—literally and metaphorically. True leadership listens, acts, and cares.

And if life throws you a tangerine? Grow a tree from it and throw life a whole bunch.
