Process
Haunted by ex-love
The melody lingers, a cruel echo from a bygone era. A familiar scent on the breeze, a fleeting glimpse of auburn hair in a crowded street – these are the ghosts of your past love, haunting you with the bittersweet ache of "what if." Moving on feels like trying to outrun your own shadow, a constant reminder of the happiness lost.

Gold Stars and Losing Streaks
This week marks 26 weeks of consistent writing, a streak that is exactly half a year long. Except it doesn’t. Somehow, between weeks 24 and 26, I missed a deadline or something because even though I published a piece every week- whether it was a poem, an essay, a chapter from my book, or just a little blurb- I got an email saying congratulations on your ONE WEEK STREAK.

An ode to imposter syndrome
An ode to imposter syndrome Self-worth and self-belief are the two sides of the same coin. We all have seeds of self-doubt planted within us, either from our inner limiting beliefs, trauma or negative projections of other people’s opinions. It is hilarious how we place our self-esteem in the hands of others with ease and then find ourselves in the labyrinth of negative perceptions of ourselves or dwindling confidence in our abilities. Life is a paradox, to heal you must be hurt, amid the most massive of pain and breakdown lies the most eminent breakthrough you would ever receive. If you want confidence and faith in your abilities, you must swim through the turbulent ocean of self-doubt and insecurity.

Beyond Talent
Writers constantly grapple with balancing craft against life's demands, seeking a formula for consistent production while nurturing creativity. The stark reality of living solely from writing underscores the need for such a framework. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported approximately 151,200 writers and authors in 2023, yet only an estimated 10-20% earn a full-time living solely from their writing. Most supplement their income through teaching, freelance work, or other fields. These statistics highlight writers' challenges and the importance of intentionally structuring one's life to support creative pursuits. So, how do we create a framework that will allow us to work and create in our calling?

The Evolving Art of Truth: Exploring the Boundaries and Freedom of Creative Nonfiction
On its very baseline, creative nonfiction is a literary genre. Some people call it the fourth genre, along with poetry, fiction and drama. Memoir, for example, personal essay, biography, narrative history and long form narrative reportage may all fit under the creative nonfiction umbrella. Recently, as the genre has evolved, there have been offshoots to the genre like speculative nonfiction, auto(biographical) fiction, lyric essays, and the visual essay, to name only a few.

The 'totally' secret recipe to spice up your essays
English is considered the universal language and it may appear very plain and very easy to learn, but English really requires very good comprehension skills and very critical thinking.
