Still here and kicking!


Happy new year to 2023.  These past years that has flown by has been truly crazy and I can say that it isn't exclusive to me. We have truly entered another world since the pandemic 

 I've been on a long hiatus from blogging and social media but that doesn't mean that I've stopped writing.

I currently got 3 projects on the go with word counts of 24, 000, 20,000 and 63, 000 words so 2023 is shaping up to be a busy year! Furthermore, I have been creating art that I can't wait to unveil to my readers in the form of truly awesome book covers 

So if you're following me and it seems that I've disappeared off the face off the earth, then you don't need to worry. I'm still grounded. 

Even more exciting, 2 of those projects are sequels to novels that I've already published. 

2022 has proved to be a busy year with me undertaking a professional course and traveling, but I still managed to persevere and write during precious spare times .

I'm very excited for the year ahead. You haven't seen the last of me yet

Some writing groups are dreamkillers

When I was a writing beginner I found comfort in writing groups. They can give support and encouragement to young authors and some tips to improve.

When I started to dream about writing big, I joined a lot of writing groups on the internet - mind you, this was back in the early 2000's - and I found that they were very supportive and everybody cheered each other on. Now, with the rise of social media it seemed that the tides has turned and everybody has something to criticise each other on. Perhaps this ties back society - due to upheavals happening in the world right now people has become meaner as there's a lot more stress inducing things going on.  I've always tried to be gentle on new writers, and I probably won't criticise them by saying that they could look it up on Google. I've always been of firm belief that It takes time to get to the position you're at now an...

Writing a good villain that is unforgettable

 In this post I will be sharing my opinions about my experience of writing a good villain a.k.a the antagonist in a story or a novel.  I must admit - I love a good villain. It simply gives a story an edge. I believe that the same effort devoted to writing the hero should be devoted to writing a villain. What I despise most is a lazy, card board cut out villain when the whole story has been going so well before.  A good villain lift up the story, gives the hero a challenge and give us a reason to root for somebody. Furthermore, a villain doesn't have to be a physical person. It could be a force of nature, circumstances or unexplained phenomenon, but a villain must be compelling.  ⭐Make your villains have a cause other than serve as a plot device. A fully fleshed out villain should have a cause to behave the way they're behaving even though the cause might not seem rational to the readers or even the author themselves.  ⭐Make them sympathetic but at the same time ...
