My First Attempt at Writing a Novel
Man, I love to read; I just consume words, but just because someone reads a lot doesn't mean they can write well—well, for me anyway. I found that out when I decided to write a novel, “Titan’s Daughter.” It was during those days when the world stood still and we were all trapped at home. Back then, my days transformed into this monotonous blend of TV and even more reading than usual. It was almost as if I were on autopilot, moving from one activity to the next without truly engaging. Until one day, it dawned on me that every show I binge-watched and every book I was consuming was the ripened fruit of someone else’s imagination, someone who took the time to organize their thoughts.

My Writing Process
While everyone is different, I know we all, on occasion, suffer from writer's block. Some days I feel like I can't find any inspiration or motivation at all. On the flip side, however, there are times when my mind will produce fleeting thoughts and ideas at such a rapid pace that I can hardly keep up. This may be a problem at times since I’m not focused on one thing in particular. Writing assists me in taking a more complete and in-depth look at some of the fleeting thoughts I might have.

Why Every Word Matters. Top Story - August 2023.
Have you ever thought that writing is useless and perhaps even questioned its significance in the grand scheme of things? But as soon as the thought forms in your mind, you suddenly feel guilty, and this deep sense of shame washes over you. It's as though your heart protests, defending this ancient art. You feel horrible calling yourself a writer, as if you committed an unthinkable sin by thinking negatively about writing. We ponder and often wonder, but why do we attach so much importance to something that, at its core, is just a tool?
