  1. Welcome Olaegbe!
    You have been writing for quite some time! What prompted you to join The Poetry Marathon? Do you write poetry or creative prose as a hobby? Are you doing the full or half marathon?
    Have a great time!

    1. Thank you, Ingrid.

      But I believe I have just started to learn how to write effectively. Let me answer all your questions.

      I have been writing poems for over a decade and I have a collection of poems, which have been sleeping in my library. When one of my friends, Agali, spread the words in our Writers Group Chat, I did not hesitate to join The Poetry Marathon. When I told Agali that I have registered to participate in The Poetry Marathon, he opted in, too. He is in the house.

      Besides poems, I have completed a book, nonfiction, during the COVID-19 pandemic. I am always writing as a journalist, a ghostwriter, an editor, a columnist, and a would-be author. I am deeply in love with printed words. It is my delight to be in The Poetry Marathon. I hope to finish it. Thank you, Agali for asking me. Thank you, Ingrid for reading me.
