The Red Badge of Courage
I write whenever I get the chance, whenever inspiration strikes. Sometimes in the middle of the night, curled up in bed.
Silence is underrated.
Where there's a will, there's a way.
"I close my eyes and type in a letter with which to begin writing. Makes it easier to start, even if it doesn't make it to the final draft. A blank page/canvas is intimidating. "
Harry Potter
Keep at it.
My name is Hiba Maria, I am happily nestled amongst the woods and tea estates of Coonoor, The Nilgiri Mountains, India.
Living amongst the wilderness blesses me with constant inspiration and a calling towards the pen, the brush and just about every other form of art.
I have a passion for writing and my work reflects mainly on the unpredictability of life and living, with a sort of wry humor and introspection.
Having lived mostly in major cities in India and abroad, I love the solitude of the mountains I now call home.
