When I encounter writer's block, I take a step back and immerse myself in different activities—reading, walking in nature, or even engaging in visual art. Shifting focus often helps refresh my perspective and allows creativity to flow again naturally.

The best thing about being a writer is the ability to express and share the variations of human experience. Writing allows me to connect with others on a deep, emotional level and to create something that resonates and endures.

My advice for aspiring writers is to stay true to your voice and experiences. Write consistently, even if it’s just a few lines a day. Observe the world around you and find beauty in the ordinary. Most importantly, don’t be afraid to share your work with others and embrace feedback as part of your growth.

I'm currently working on a new collection of haiku poems that continue to explore the themes of memory, nature, and personal growth. Each poem aims to capture the beauty in everyday moments and the emotions that accompany them.

Inspiration often strikes in the quiet moments—observing nature, the changing seasons, or the fleeting expressions on a loved one's face. I carry a pocket notebook or use my phone's notes app to capture these spontaneous thoughts. The art of observation and the natural world are my greatest muses.

The idea for Caught in a Hazy Dream emerged during a deeply introspective time in my life a few years ago. Navigating personal challenges, I found comfort in observing the subtleties of light, shadow, and nature. Tanka, with its brevity and depth, became the perfect form to capture these fleeting moments and emotional undercurrents.
