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.
