I remember first reading your work maybe circa 2015, or 16, or some timeline nestled in between. A flash fiction piece that left me stunned at the time.

"Her beauty was unfair, un-fair, an ebony thing, but that wasn't why I loved her".

It was a spectacular opening, and probably what tipped the scales towards you winning the whole damn thing. When I stumbled upon you on Twitter years later, I remembered that line and had to follow you; and well, here we are.

You should write fiction again sometime, you presumably haven't done it aeons, but I doubt you'd miss a beat.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Emenyi. To be honest, I do have some fiction drafts in my notepads but I don’t think they’re good enough to share…yet? Haha we’ll see …

😅 I guess you have a catch-22 on your hands then, because the only way you are truly sure is if you share, in some capacity at least. Or you could just send them all to me, and I'll tell you. It will be exactly like not sharing 😅. Wishing you all the best.
