It’s strange how you can work on the same pages for years
and only later realise what they were actually about.

I’m revising a book that started as one story and quietly became another.

Turns out the second one is the one I needed to tell.

Hi! If anyone has a fantasy writers / spec fic / Black writers starter pack, I’d love to be added. I write Igbo-inspired fantasy.

Five years on one book teaches you patience, doubt, and how to stay anyway. Still writing.

Took five years to write the latest. Not budding, just still growing.

“Budding writer” but the bud has been at it for years.

First post here. I’m a budding writer trying to be brave about putting words into the world. Here to learn, share, and keep showing up to the page.
