30 Minutes of Traveling: A Rabbit and A Writer

It’s all warm inside the big micro. I don’t know how but I know it’s going to take me home. Ah! such a lovely weather it is, only if it weren’t for the crowd inside the bus. Look at how many people are being cramped in, one stop after another. Thankfully I’m safe here, cozy.…

30 Minutes of Traveling: The Man With The Black Goggles

The dust has become an indispensable ingredient of the road. I hear it is more horrifying on the other edge. A scarf over the head, a big mask covering half the face will do for now. It has worked for years down this route. I was far ahead of the rush hour, so there was…

Welcome to The Wordcastle

Hi Friend,

Alfa here. Welcome to The Wordcastle, a blog about reading, writing, and the arts. I am someone who likes to make things. I am a writer, public speaker, and a digital artist and have been running this blog as a passion project since 2017.

For all these years, The Wordcastle has been a place for experiments. I continue to learn everyday as I update this blog, tear its design apart and rebuild it. I hope you will enjoy reading and find something that connects with you. There are book quotes, reviews of writing classes, poetry, and more.
