I’ve Spent the Last 15+ Years Writing

When asked why I became a writer, I always confidently say: “This is fate.” I was always sure that I would connect my life with literature.

I really composed stories from childhood, at first I bumped them under my nose, drawing characters in albums (once I was caught by a nanny for this, and I laughed terribly), then writing in notebooks. The second reason is books! I lived in them.

It was happiness – to choose books in the library and dive into them with my head, nobody led my reading, it was haphazard, but constantly. And my mother read out loud for the night, even as a teenager! This is how it all developed gradually, and continues to take shape until now. I really like to mix reality with magic, in my opinion, this is the most interesting thing in the work of the writer.

Important skills for the writer are well-being and learning ability, sharp and deep critical thinking, healthy skepticism and simply human values, such as openness, honesty, love for what you do. And do not set big goals. Everything should be, as they say, step by step.

When you write, it’s very easy to dream. This is one of the most beautiful activities. A writer can’t help but be a dreamer. He dreams of different things. For example, to live with happy children happily ever after. What could be more beautiful than finding mom or grandma’s favorite book in a bookcase!
