I learned to learn from my mistakes
The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing. Henry Ford Of mistakes I make a lot, mainly with my writings, but I try my best to correct them, or at least learn what I need to do so as to rectify my mistakes. Impatience and ego are the two main destructive […]

Making Sense Of Things While Writing
The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper — W. B. Yeats To discover some things along the way while writing isn’t that strange, it is a form of self-taught education and self-discovery within the spectrum of autodidacticism, the obligation of the mind to arrange the words that’ll […]

My Strange Relationship With Books
“I like to say that books found me, that my otherworldly teacher came to me clothed with words that I could decrypt and understand.” I did not start to write stories, poems, or any other type of non-fiction at a very young age, but I read a lot since I knew how to read. I […]

See You In 2022

Why I Use A Pen-name
Your worth consists in what you are and not in what you have. Thomas Edison A pen-name, nom de plume, or literary double is a made up name used by authors who want to conceal their identity. Though I‘m very proud of my birth name, I prefer to use the pen-name Eiravel, which is derived […]

Awareness In Times Of Chaos
Awareness is a form of meditation that triggers inspiration, and all other positive emotions. Awareness, I believe, is the most powerful and sane experience that a living being can have, though I’ve never understood why it is so difficult to attain, but also, why is it so difficult for us to grasp and understand. To […]

The Cure
A non-writing writer is a monster courting insanity Franz Kafka Today, while writing this post, the house is very calm.

The abandonment of a piece of writing is inconceivable to me
The abandonment of a draft is inconceivable to me, for it’s like abandoning a piece of myself in a lonely and very dark place, and where this fear can even lead me towards obsessiveness. I don’t want to tuck away an idea that birthed out of my mind under piles of sheets and notebooks, to […]

The word that sounds best to my ears
It’s a resonance to my ears, to my mind If I told you that the word ooze tickles the fancy of my mind, where this one word is a lullaby to my ears, it ooze and leaks its way throughout the realm of my imagination, it makes my internal chords sensible to a hum-like call, […]
