I wrote a book when I was 9
A decade ago, my mother read J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy to me and my three siblings. Those books impacted me in a way that few other things in my whole life have done. Even as a kid I was able to recognize Tolkien’s work for what it was — a masterpiece. He created a whole world as real as this one. He wrote characters who stepped off the page and lived lives of their own. He painted pictures in my mind so that I was right there in the book.

Life (Pt. 1)
Life is a baby, she doesn't know how beautiful she is, and you? Happen to be in the middle of her story. From the day you remember being able to communicate, to the moments you remember being able to run so fast, the wind couldn't catch you. She's that trip and fall we have before we can even know we tripped and fell, and she's that mountain peak we called a future before we knew what a REAL mountain peak was before we had a future. Yeah, she's incredible. She makes time be still like when that first kiss gets sketched out in your bedroom. Plan all thought up, got it all figured out, practiced in front of the mirror, but when the time comes. Silence, quietly, we think, is she feeling me or not? Because I'ma start thinking about what to tell my friends already sheesh. Then it happens.

write what you know
Writing 101 Write what you know That is something I hear often so I’ll start with that. Even if this is a public platform and I’m writing so other people can read it I’d rather keep my identity a secret, even if it's for the time being. I was born and raised in Ethiopia, a country located in the horn of Africa. As such English is my second language.

Welcome to the Real World
It was 1 am, and I had just experienced my first professional rejection. I was in the middle of watching Best Scenes from Game of Thrones when I got the notification on my phone. I paused the video in haste and opened the email. As I read the lines of a literary agent’s secretary ‘unfortunately, she is unable to offer you representation at this time,’ I felt my stomach sink and my chest tighten. I felt dejected and disappointed; disheartened. I thought, how am I going to sleep after this?

Glory Birds
Once a king received two magnificent peregrine falcons as a gift from one of his vassal state. They were the most beautiful birds he has ever seen. Though the Falcons were still quite young at the time, they were beautiful specimens groomed for keeping in his court specifically. The king called the head falconer and handed the two beautiful birds to be trained. The falconer trained the birds for months. But one day the falconer informed the king that one of the falcons was flying and soaring high in the sky while the other has not moved from its branch since the day it had arrived.

Afraid of Success?
Many hesitate in making dreams come true as the fear of actually being a success is real for them. Is it real for you too? You might not realise it just yet, but this could be the number one reason why you have not stepped out of your comfort zone and taken that leap of faith.
