\"_KK_4827\"There are moments in life when one feels a sudden urge of doing something. The decision I made in 2007 of writing this book was one such moment. It took me four years to finish the book, and I could still remember very clearly the years of writing it. It wasn\u2019t exactly smooth sailing, not when one has a full-time teaching job, but whenever I had time to write, I would immerse myself in the world of my own creation. I suppose the best part of writing is to be able to enjoy the freedom of making things happen and bringing life to my characters.<\/p>\n

While I can only live one life in reality, writing enables me to live many different lives in my own text. That\u2019s the beauty of literary creation.<\/p>\n

Is there anything else you would like to tell us?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Writing has always been my passion. Ever since I was a child, I had always wanted to become a writer. What happened when I was about nine had in a way boosted my confidence in becoming one in the years to come. I did not win a writing competition, but I wrote something that made money. When I was about that age, I wrote a lot of stories, most of which were short and came in installments. I compiled these different stories in an issue and I stapled them together, some with illustrations, to make them look nicely in a form of a children\u2019s magazine. This happened in the pre-digital age, meaning I had only one copy of my own writing. To ensure that I kept the copyright, I let my friends read the magazine on a small rental fee; that\u2019s how I first made a little money out of my writing. It was nothing, but as a kid, I was happy to share my writing with other people. I was happy to have a group of followers who didn\u2019t mind paying to read my works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
