Thank you @ikigai_ke for the magic of your spaces and what they incubate! 🙌🏾 May much more be birthed there by @ShiroKoinange and others ⚡️⚡️⚡️ #writingspaces #CreativeKE

[Wanjiru Koinange @ShiroKoinange]

The only way to become a writer is to write. A lot. Whatever it takes. Whatever the cost. ✍🏾

For me, one of those costs was space. In those last few months of working on the 56th million edit of “The Havoc of Choice”, I discovered quickly that writing from home wasn’t working.
