a personal blog

I have been writing since I arrived in Lithuania at 17.

I started writing in a supplement of then nationwide popular newspaper from my home country, Azerbaijan. After moving to Turkey almost a year later, I continued to write there as well — this time in the local language. Upon returning to my home country during the pandemic, once again I got a writing job in a top creative agency (thanks to my internship there) which added a creative touch to my writing.
