As my studies progressed into college the desire to write took a different form. I began writing short stories in times of inactivity to pass the time. My poetry had become better but not to the point where I could be featured in a magazine or make any publicity from it. I continued writing poetry and expanding to stories.
Once my studies progressed to
university my writings had developed a mind of their own. I carried on with
poetry but created my book Memoirs of the
Damned from the short stories I had written in college. I attended writing
workshops in my spare time and began taking part in poetry festivals. I met
Shamshad Khan, an amazing poet, at the Manchester Literature Festival, she
referred me to Zahid Hussain. Both of these wonderful individuals have helped
me with my writing.
Now that my studies are over my
primary focus is to become an established author. I cannot ignore poetry as it
is the keystone of my writing desire but I am considering expansion into
playwriting too. I am looking forward to becoming a prominent part of the literary
community and I am excited about what the future holds for me. I have simply
this message to give,
In the quietened soul we hold a resolve
That many a time we find dissolves
Pursuit is the mother of gains
And love can help subdue any pain
