Despite being in the midst of exams, inspiration struck and so I've started writing again. I think it's quite an achievement: I've written several thousand words in a week whilst studying for finals!
In any case, the story is titled Leya, and follows the story of an 18 year old girl as she starts discovering life after her parents think about getting her married. I've posted the story on the self-publishing website, Wattpad, and I would love any kind of feedback.
The link to the story is https://www.wattpad.com/story/52923141-leya and will open in a new window. I've been posting almost everyday, so if you enjoy it, you can expect fast updates!
I had the idea a couple weeks ago, but I only recently formulated the entire plot, so I'm going to keep on writing and see where it goes!
Thank you for reading xx

To Be A Philomath
"What is a philomath?"
According to a great invention known as the internet, which enables knowledge and facts, such as definitions, to be displayed at the touch of a button, one can define a philomath as:
Philomath (noun, archaic):
1. A lover of learning.
2. A scholar.
3. A person who enjoys learning new facts and acquiring new knowledge.
Origins:
Ancient Greek, "philos" (loving), "mathe" (learning).
It may also be used nowadays to describe an astrologer or predictor, however, in this case, the archaic definition applies.
In the modern world, there are most certainly an infinite amount of ways in which one can acquire knowledge. Books are one way, the internet another. Acquiring information is quite easy, but making use of that knowledge in a positive way is what will always make a difference. With so much information at our fingertips, we should all love learning about the weird and wonderful world we live in, particularly because there is so much we could learn about. If you fancy yourself a fellow polymath, do continue learning, because without learning there would be no progress, and without progress, we'd still be living in caves.
So here's to philomathy and the vast, infinite world of knowledge.
