I'm interested in a writers' colony, where we write, write, write; brutally critique each other's works, read the masters of the craft and debate good writing. We may become close friends, even lovers. We may not. Either way, we'll make our bones as writers. Repost and DM.

Randomly on a Tuesday morning. Hope this light finds you. 🖤🕯️✨

@GoldxHaze I believe it is!

Creativity is a spiritual experience

please, read books. not just captions, or carousel posts, or what made it to the top of your feed. read books. long ones. complex ones. you cannot build a mind with weight on the back of social media ephemerals. intellectual depth demands patience.

@bluewmist This!

@Vickyhandel @ayobamishomade This comment!

@ayobamishomade This tweet seems to be written by someone who wields such power.

I'm envious of writers, man. poets. essayists. fictionists. creative nonfictionists. dramatists. et al. even those that feel too humble to wear the labels but bend words in gratifying ways.

You need to put your work out there, the world needs to see what you create. Post your work!

Is it just me? Every time I see a post about an author getting rep, I have to like and follow the immediately! I want to see them succeed and cheer them on every step of the way. #WritingCommunity

Some days I can write 5000 words in the blink of an eye. Some days (like today) I forget how to spell the word "really". It's all about balance ☺️

There’s a part in Daddy Lumba’s song ‘Ankwanoma’: ‘mereyɛ neɛ mɛtumi biara, me mmrɛ so a na mekɔ’. Translation: I am doing what I can/could do, then leave when my time comes. Weirdly playing in a loop in my mind this morning. 🖤🕯️✨

We asked members of our Nigerian community to share their thoughts anonymously on the piece 'Ghana Must Go' by Boakye D. Alpha @let_alpha_write. Here are a few of their comments...

deleted old emails instead of writing.

@LiteraryDenizen called. 🖤🕯️✨ We are reading and discussing my recent short story on @lounlounjournal ✨

Looks like I keep talking to myself here. 😂My posts reach no one! Anyone out here???

I Google everything. Every word I don’t know, I look up. I even check the words I use to make sure they’re in the right context. I’ll pause a show just to understand something. It’s how you learn. No matter how small or dumb it seems, I’ll look it up.
