Well, I’m officially halfway through the 21 day challenge. Day 11’s challenge was to draw a monster! Not something you have ever seen on TV or comics, but a monster straight out of your imagination.
I started thinking about the kind of beings scare me the most and the thing that kept coming to my mind was roaches. Just like Ron Weasly thought Giant Spiders were the scariest things in the world, Giant Roaches are the stuff of my nightmares.
Sure enough, my monster came out as a mix of Cockroaches, Lizards, and other creepy crawlies.
The monster has just crept out from under my bed.
SCRUNCHHHHHHHHH SCRUNCHHHHHHHHHHHH SCRUNCHHHHHHHH
Oh no! It has started chewing up my toes. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I have been reading voraciously since the age of five when I first discovered the joys of reading. I would lap up anything in print. Unrolling an emptied newspaper cone with one hand, stuffing roasted peanuts in my mouth with the other, all the while devouring the printed content on the cone with my eyes, was one of my first experiences in hedonistic pleasure.
In fact, sometimes I feel that I am on an adventurous journey through the secret dreamworld of other people's imaginations, interspersed with occasional visits to my own life to attend events like graduation, first job, marriage, and so on.
As a true-blue reader, I think I am uniquely qualified to comment on and critique other people's works of labour. I can tell exactly what puts the average reader to sleep, what sets their pulse racing, and what has them salivating for more.

I am overwhelming with happiness for finding a companion for my imagination journey. I am not good at drawing, I want to draw sketches for my stories.
