Writing Exercise

I Was Interviewed on the #1 U.S. Radio Show – The Senior Zone. AI-Generated.
I recently had the honor of being interviewed on The Senior Zone, the #1 radio show in the United States dedicated to uplifting voices across generations. As an 18-year-old author of 10 books, I shared my journey of writing, my inspirations, and the message behind my latest book, The Silence of Everything. We discussed literature, youth empowerment, and how silence and creativity can become a form of resistance, healing, and hope. Thank you to host Shawn Perry for such a thoughtful conversation and for giving space to young authors like me. It was a proud moment to represent Pakistan and youth writers on such a respected platform.

The Shining – Stephen King
January 12th – The Overlook Hotel, Colorado The snow had fallen nonstop for three days, burying the roads and sealing the hotel from the world. I had come as a temporary caretaker—a last-minute replacement for a man who “couldn’t handle the quiet,” as the management put it.

Frankenstein Mary Shelley
October 3rd, 1881 – Geneva The snow had begun to fall early that year, dusting the rooftops like powdered bones. I arrived at the gates of the Devereux estate under a sky so gray it seemed the heavens themselves were in mourning. I had been summoned by a letter—brief, desperate, and unsigned.
