Ink & Ashes

This isn't a book of polished masterpieces or strict rules about writing. It's more like a messy notebook-scribbled with stories, half-formed thoughts, experiments, and little sparks that kept me going when I didn't know what to write next.

Inside, you'll find a mix of short stories (some dark, some light, some just plain strange), along with writing prompts, tips, and reflections I've picked up along the way. None of it is meant to be perfect-it's meant to remind you that writing doesn't have to be. The best part of telling stories is the process: the nights when words spill out like they've been waiting for you, and even the days when nothing comes and you feel like crumpling up the page.

Think of this book as a creative companion. A place to dip in when you're stuck, to spark ideas when the page feels too quiet, or just to remind you that other writers wrestle with the same struggles you do. If you're chasing the perfect story, don't. Chase the story that feels alive to you in this moment. The rest will follow.

So-grab a pen, a notebook, or even just the back of a receipt. Let's make something together.
