Introducing Turning Sparks into Stories - A Creative toolkit Series created by a busy writer for busy writers
For the entire month of June, I will be removing the Paywall behind my paid content for readers to know what they would be getting if they subscribed to paid content.
I am very proud to finally release this. This year has been challenging for me as I had burnout from teaching. In order to make sure that I have time for myself and not just giving everything in me to the students that I am in charge of, I realised that I needed to lead a more creative life. I needed to feel something else, to feel alive again.
So I did little things to make me write again. If anyone actually paid attention, I had a huge break April 2024 and April 2025. This means that I spent exactly a year not having a creative life.
Now, I want to share how you - a busy writer can also have a creative life so you feel something that is not just the day-to-day hustle. Life has to have some meaning and for me that meaning comes in creating. If you are here, it is highly likely that you find meaning in words, or creating words as well.
This is how Turning Your Sparks into Stories Creative Toolkit series was born. The first toolkit - Summoning Your Sparks is available free for everyone. See this as a taste to what is to come.
From July 2025, only paid subscribers will get access to the toolkits. I have followed this tool-kit religiously and as a result have produced a lot of writing despite being busy.
But for June, I wanted to share this content for free so if you ever decide to subscribe, you know what you will be getting.
Here is the Summoning Your Spark Creative Toolkit Sunday posts:
Behind-the-scenes post of me using the toolkit will be released
A personal essay written by me (mentioned in the Behind-the-scenes) will be released
Some minor editing tips will be provided
Referring back to the Toolkit - especially Writer’s Meditation - how to Meditate to get more ideas/ ideas to write about different themes, not just about writing

I like the concepts of sparks, I have them all the time! I often say, like Alice in Wonderland, I have ‘5 impossible ideas before breakfast’… It’s a challenge to decide which to manifest :-). I keep a Note File to just ‘park the sparks’ and it has a whole folder not for story but for book ideas :-)
