Laila, when did you realize yourself as a writer? After writing first book, publishing , success or …? You know this feeling inside «I am truly a writer»
Laila Ibrahim
Good morning Mariia . I thought of the characters for Yellow Crocus when I was 33. I resisted writing the novel for 7 years because I didn’t believe I was a writer in anyway... I call it my ‘Jonah’ moment. I’m so glad the story waited for me to tell it. I think I was part way through book number 3 when I really started to feel like a writer as opposed to someone who wrote a book.
I know many people who have been writers their whole lives. That wasn’t me. But I’m so glad I listened to my still small voice and took the scary leap not knowing what would happen.
Thanks for asking. It was fun to think about.

I absolutely loved both the Yellow Crocus and Mustard Seed. I have already purchased your other two books to read next. I found myself getting confused with all the characters in Mustard Seed so I made a list of them and how they are related. I think that would be helpful to include in the book/Audible version. I read thru Audible so maybe this is already in the book? but just thought I'd suggest it. Keep Writing!
