My name is Mohamed. I live in Montreal and work part-time, but my real work—the thing that keeps me grounded—is writing. I’m not famous, not published yet, but I write like it matters. Because it does. Writing is how I make sense of things, how I stay connected to myself. It’s not just something I do—it’s part of who I am. I want to write a book. Not for the sake of saying I wrote one, but because I feel like there’s something in me that needs to be said. I carry pieces of it with me every day—ideas, memories, quiet observations—and I’m trying to find the words that fit. I don’t have a perfect routine. Sometimes it’s late at night after work, sometimes just a few scribbles in a notebook between buses. But I show up. I write. And I’m going to keep going until the book exists.
