Poetry Writing Workshop
Hosted by Asha Ponnachan
What a fantastic session it turned out to be! A big thank you to our host, Asha Ponnachan, and to all the writers who made this journey so engaging. It was truly inspiring to see people from different countries, cultures, and time zones come together to create such a positive and enriching learning space.
Even though the session mainly covered introductions, foundations, and a writing exercise, it was a wonderful experience to be part of. If you’re thinking of joining from the second session onward, now is the perfect time—you definitely don’t want to miss out. DM or Email us at [email protected]
The next session is scheduled for April 17th. Details regarding the timing and joining link will be shared via email.

Drafting Diaries✨
Last week*, lol. It was such a good writing week.💕
Even when I can only manage 42 words out of my target of 1000 a day, I still give myself grace and call it a day.
Currently reading:
Can’t wait to get back into negotiating with the dead and dune. I love the dune movies, but I didn’t expect to love the first book even more.
What are you currently reading?
Follow me on tiktok @kforkataru for writing and bookish content. Ty!✨
I took a very long and unintended hiatus from posting on here (and everywhere really, lol), but I’m back, I guess?
Anywho, I’ve been making efforts to replace doomscrolling with media consumption. Here are some of my Substack reads this week. Have you read any of these? Let me know your favourite Substack reads in the comments!
