A pen-name, nom de plume, or literary double is a made up name used by authors who want to conceal their true identity or real name, or even, those, who like me, find it way more cooler to sign books or pieces of our writing with a pen-name.

Awareness In Times Of Chaos
Awareness In Times Of Chaos Awareness is a form of meditation, of being inspired, of triggering the emotion of peace, love, and freedom.

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

A Period Of Intense Reflection
Last year I wrote this ‘essay’ to submit to a writing competition that was organised around the theme ‘personal Covid-19 lockdown experience’.

Nevermind, IContinue reading “A Period Of Intense Reflection”

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; where this fear can even lead me towards obsessiveness.

My 2021 Motto
Every year I chose a word (theme) or a sentence (motto) that I will be able to apply in my life for one whole year, as to be able to become a better person.

Let’s talk about Airplanes and shooting stars
Yesterday, while closing the window of my bedroom at night, I saw a bright star in the dark sky – well, that’s what I thought at first glance.

I won’t lower down my expectations
I know that the world is shaking right now, where most of us are sad, angry, aching, mourning; and that amidst this strange and wretched time, everything appears grim, morose, and without hope – but should our own heart be alike the gloomy ambiance that’s surrounding us?

Writing abates the storm in my heart
Writing abates the storm that often rages in my heart – like frustrations, anxieties, sadness, anger, unacceptance, incomprehensiveness, and all of these other emotional disaster that wrecks my all.

Women, Sensibility, And Fiction Writing

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,Continue reading “The word that sounds best to my ears”
When Words Hurt
Weaponization of what’s beautiful When my mind is too much shaken, I go from 1 to 10,000 breaking loose, unable to concentrate properly on writing, for my mind is too busy imagining all kinds of murderous scenes (to use for stories, of course).
