Just wrapped up my latest read and I’m in dire need of new books to add to my list. I'm into stories with the right combination of dark themes and beautiful prose. Help a sister out and drop your suggestions in the comments below.

A few months ago, I went for a little #photowalk in Jumeirah. It was a bit overcast that day but I'm still happy with these. I don't visit the area very often but I'm super keen to return as soon as the weather allows it.

Did you know I send out a free newsletter with a brand new #shortstory every week? If you enjoy work from authors like Ursula K Le Guin or movies like Her, then my work's right up your alley.

The easiest way to write a story is to start from the end.
Uruguayan #shortstory writer Horacio Quiroga said "the story starts from the ending".
Knowing how your story ends helps you stay focused, eliminate the superficial, and make sure that every beat of the story gets you to that end.
Many years ago I took a photojournalism class at uni, and the only thing I got out of it was the idea that was a bad photographer.
That mindset changed in 2018, on a trip to Barcelona.
I started to borrow a DSLR to go out and take photos, and shortly after I bought my trusty Nikon D5000 at a second-hand shop.
My journey into photography has been so exciting and fulfilling, and I'm super excited to continue learning and experimenting with it.
