I started writing this piece for CBC's creative non-fiction contest, but my heart wasn't in it. I finally finished it, and still feel like it's a work in progress, but returning to writing has been a cathartic experience for me.
This is about my journey in London - a city that has left me completely heartbroken.

One More Time
I did it... I'm finally writing a Niall fanfic. I'll come back to this to make a better one eventually, but Niall meets someone in London and they're perfect but they can't get their sh*t together. Be gentle. **I do not own any of the pictures that will be used in this story. All credit to the originals and same goes for lyrics and music.
The Forgotten Child
This is my first ever story I wrote by myself with no help, and it took me roughly around 6 months to write. Please enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it! It may not be the best written or told story, but it was a way to help me.Concluida
The Interview (English) *completed*
When 24 year old Alexandra Schneider moved from Berlin to London to live her dream and become a writer, she expected her dreams to come true. But when she ends up as an assistant for a newspaper she realises that dreams not always come true. Now, five years later, she still works in that office and never got the chance to publish a single article or story and she sees her dream fading away. On the edge of giving up, she finally sees a light at the end of the tunnel. A small, subtle one, but a light. And it all starts with that one interview. *trigger warning: a lot of talk about mental health, abuse and drug use. No explicit sex scenes, but talk about sex* *This is my first novel in English, so I would love it, if you could give me some feedback*Concluida
Our East London Love Story
This is an original romance story that happens to be set in London. For any of my fellow Brits, you may find this story very relatable.

My Backpacking Memoirs
In 2017 I embarked on a three month backpacking trip around Europe. Motivated by the many accounts of travel from within religion, I went to learn. But what I experienced was not what I was expecting. This was my first time leaving the UK since I was a child and my expectations of travel and Europe were wildly out of touch. I met more people in these three months than I had in the previous ten years and had many new experiences. I was naive and many of the people I met on my travels could tell just how naive I was. Overland by bus, train and ferry through 17 countries: England, Scotland, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy and Switzerland. To 35 locations: Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Paris, Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, Bruges, Amsterdam, Berlin, Dresden, Leipzig, Frankfurt, Prague, Krakow, Brno, Bratislava, Vienna, Budapest, Timisoara, Sibiu, Brasov, Bucharest, Sofia, Thessaloniki, Litochoro, Athens, Delphi, Naples, Rome, Venice, Milan and Lugano. It is an account of backpacking around Europe, both the best and worst of European backpacking hostels. Long bus journeys, hitch hiking and plenty of walking. I'm not proud of my behaviour or the events surrounding this three month period of my life, but I am proud to have forced myself to do it. I hope that my story will reach people who are in similar positions to what I found myself and to plant the seed of travel as a solution to those problems. Sometimes running away is the solution. It has also been several years since my backpacking trip and I find myself constantly trying to piece my memories together. Not always knowing what city or even country a memory occurred. I feel like my memories are deteriorating so I decided to document them before fall apart completely. I'm not a writer at all and I have tried to be as honest as possible, to my own downfall. I'm open to any advice about how I can improve it.Concluida
Empty- Girl Meets World
I wanted to write down exactly how I felt but somehow the paper stayed empty and I could not have described it any better.Concluida
This is My Life
I've been very depressed and heartbroken so, what better than to create a story out of it? "This is my life" details a protagonist going through her teenage years up until the age of 21. Through love, friendship, grief, and heartbreak, you will get to witness what it's like being a young black girl trying to conquer the world. I hope anyone going through either heartbreak, grief, insecurities, mental health declines are able to read this and know that they're not alone! Life can be so ugly at times, but I promise things always get better. Not your typical romance or teen fiction book! My real life experience with fiction added :) Returning from my six year hiatus with a new book....my bad.Concluida
