Mayowa is a writer, poet, and storyteller. She goes by the pen name The grey clover. Writing Journey Her writing journey started in secondary school when they all had to take literature classes. There were assignments where she had to write speeches, essays, poetry, etc. Her first time writing a proper poem was the year before her final year in secondary school for an annual poetry contest where students are selected to read poems. That year, her literature teacher told everyone in the class to write an original poem. It took her days to come up with something, but she eventually did. Surprisingly, she was one of the students chosen to read their poems in front of the entire school. Delusion It's dark. The starts are out.   It's perfect, or so it seems. Nothing can change it, or so I thought. Not long before I was wrong.   It's quiet, like a graveyard, pin-drop silence. Everything is still, no leaves fluttering. The winds wouldn't dare. No sound. The birds are mute.   I...

Mudashir Olayemi Adewale is a poet, writer, and editor. He believes writing is therapeutic as much as it is inspiring. He often writes from a place of deep emotions which gives him a sense of control knowing that someone out there who can relate is reading. Writing Journey He did not start writing officially until late 2016. He had lost a relative and felt hurt, so he just wrote down something, he did not even know what it was called until someone read it and told him that what he had written was a poem. It came from a place of intense emotion. He shared it on Instagram and got interesting feedback, that is how he got into writing. He wrote more poems and posted them on Instagram. He describes his writing journey as an amazing one, because he has met with people in the writing community, made friends, and built meaningful relationships. It has been awesome for him and he does not take it for granted. Yemi did not have a background in art so he never really understood poetry. As a child...

Favour Egbogun is a writer, storyteller, and photographer. She writes beautifully crafted Christian fiction that leaves her readers hearts yearning for more and most importantly, transformed. Writing journey  Favour got inspired to write when she read a friend's poem. She was attending covenant university at the time and she was at 100 level. She fell in love with the poem. Prior to this, she had always loved literature and it was something she wanted to do but had not written anything before reading that poem.  This was the beginning of my writing journey, however, I was not serious with it, Favour claims. She showed a friend one of the pieces she wrote and the person said: "oh this is good, your writings are not shallow, they are quite deep". This made her want to write more so she joined the writing team of DAVAASS MEDIA and was able to fulfill her dreams of writing more. She was so inspired.  People began to know her as someone that writes. One thing led to the other ...

  Let me officially welcome you to THE WRITER'S COLUMN. Being a writer can be glamourous on the outside, but people fail to actually understand the challenges writers go through, the inner battles they fight, and so on. The writer's column is a space where different writers share their writing journey, the challenges they faced, the challenges they are still facing, and the things they did/are doing to overcome them. This page is meant to encourage writers to keep doing what they love regardless of what the outcome might seem like and let them know that they are not alone. I was going to share my own experiences as a writer, but I think I will save that for later. Again, I officially welcome you to the writer's column. I hope you enjoy reading these experiences as much as I enjoyed writing them. Stay tuned.

It is nice to finally write about something other than books or the other things I write about here. A few weeks ago, I got a text from a friend which read; You are so perfect. I stared at it for the longest time and it got me thinking. Why would someone say this to me, is it to make me feel good?  I don't think so. I know what a  'make you feel good' text looks like, I get that a lot but this is different. Perfection is such a strong word to be likened to something as shallow as that.  When something is perfect, it means it has no flaws. The exact opposite of what my life felt like on the day I got that text. I am not perfect, I have never been and I don't think I ever will if we are going by this definition. In fact, nine out of ten times, I am ninety-eight percent flawed. This is one of the reasons I tend to read a lot. I read to escape my reality, I read because my life is boring and I just want to get lost in someone else's reality even if that reality is f...
