change my mind about writing. I realised this is one dream that will stick with me it’s not just a faze it’s my talent it’s my passion.

If I had the finances each time I did the challenge I would have been able to publish another book at the end of the 30days. This amazes me. I can write a poem/short story in 10minutes or less if I wanted to, if I take 30minutes I will obviously have something much better, better quality. The 30day challenge wasn’t to get me to write, it was for me to see if I can endure writing each day. I needed to know how passionate I was about writing and I got my answers.

The challenge has been a wonderful journey for me. I have met so many amazing artists I’v seen so many different types of art. It has been a learning experience for me. I don’t have friends or family who’s into art so there’s so much that I am yet to learn. But by being in the challenge and by connecting with so many art groups I have found a place where I can be exposed to new things, I can also get support when I’m feeling less confident. Also I have gain confidence in my writing because of the feedback and the support I got from the 30day group.

I have grown as an individual by being in the challenge and by meeting all the amazing and caring people who is also passionate and maybe even more passionate about art than I can be. It has been a life changing experience and It has given me knowledge and most important support for my future endeavors. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me a way to share my work with so many persons around the world. Thank you so much for having me.
