About me

I have wrote pieces of writing from early age. My first story was writen at nine. The love of writing and reading were the key drivers of my success. I began to invent stories. Later, the short stories were included into the collection In the Forest. In order to help the child feel a real writer, my parents collected the best works and made a simple self-published book. The cover was of cardboard and decorated with illustrations. Since childhood, I admired music and playing the piano. While studying at the university, I wrote short stories for the The Magic Box collection. In 2020, the publishing house "Ukrainian Writer" published the book "Essay genre. How to write an essay on various topics" (Basics of Writing Skills). The book explains the key components of a well-written essay. It explores the structure of an essay, highlighting the importance of a strong introduction, a well-organized body, and a compelling conclusion. I provide examples and explanations, making it easy for readers to grasp these concepts and apply them to their own writing.

Writing Skills and Mastery

Writing skills involve different aspects of writing, such as grammar, syntax, vocabulary, and sentence structure. The language mastery is required to express thoughts and feelings accurately and effectively. The writer should have a good knowledge of different writing styles, from scientific to artistic, depending on what the author wants to convey to his readers. In addition to technical aspects, writing skills are based on creative thinking and imagination.

From the book "Essay Writing Tips"

  • "The author who works on essays is always subjective, focuses on minor details rather than the main points, and expresses his thoughts. Writing an essay is a creative activity ... The core of an essay is the author's thoughts about something seen, read or experienced. The writer expresses personal views, describes his feelings, ideas or moral values."

    Mariia Obydenna

  • "Creativity is thinking outside the box. Overcoming stereotypes is only one of the creativity elements, other, no less important, are the experiment and new knowledge acqusition."
