September 15, 2017

It all began with the stroke of a pen aged a little more than six, and it was while I wrote those silly stories that I knew I’d got my fix. I spent my childhood and teenage years writing convoluted prose, questioning teachers, swotting up, in books I stuck my nose. I studied hard at … More Finding My Forte

Day 35 in South East Asia – Karma, You’re a Beautiful Bitch
