What do you like most about your writing?

That’s an easy one. At least, I think it is.

I have a writing voice that I believe to be not so common. My vocabulary is rather simple. There are a few reasons for that: 1) English is not my native language 2) I like it that way because I believe that simple and relatable vocabulary has more impact than complicated words.

My stories and poems are filled (overflowing?) with emotions. And I like to believe that these emotions are palpable to the readers. But that’s not for me to judge.

Most of my writing is impulsive, unedited and that’s why it is also a bit raw and unpolished. That’s okay with me. And quite frankly, not many people complain about it. And those who do tell me that I could be a much better writer if I showed some ambition. Maybe they are right. Maybe they are not.

So yes… I think, if you read my short stories, my voice is recognisable. Or maybe that is just the sleep-deprived overconfidence talking and in truth I simply wrote the same story over and over again.

And so, I ask you:

  1. I like when you share stories or poems from your life. 🙂 like its just a window into another person’s life that is simple yet comforting and relatable?

  3. I love that your writing is “overflowing” with emotions because sometimes I think mine overflows a lot
    It’s comforting to know I am not the only one!
    And your work builds a small but clear window to see the person you are!
    Like you said- a recognisable voice!
