The character of Ezeulu, the chief priest in Arrow of God, by Chinua Achebe is one of my favourite characters. - Zaynab Alkali

I have no immediate plan to read a new book because I am seriously engaged in writing someone else’s story.

Fiction writing, for me, is also triggered by the drama of life I witness on daily basis. I find human nature an interesting study. Human relationships, especially romantic ones, are intriguing and highly fascinating.

For me, there’s no special atmosphere for writing. Whenever I feel the urge, (known in literature as ‘inspiration’) I write, using my small note book to capture scenes from the outside and passing ideas from my mind.
