Writing Update #5 – Forming a Writing Identity (Nov 2025)
Welcome to writing update #5 – can’t believe there are 5 such posts already! The streak has been going on for some months, despite fluctuating discipline and elusive inspirations, and I’m honestly quite proud of that.

Keep readingWriting Update #4 – Little Writing Steps (Oct 2025)

Keep readingVidin – My Mother’s Hometown
In this post I’ve chosen to write about Vidin – a small town located in northwestern Bulgaria on the river Danube.
