I’m so so excited to share that my short story “Take aim”, has been published in Litro magazine, a renowned literary platform. “Take aim” is a story about love, obsession and ambition set against the backdrop of the Paris Olympics, exactly a year ago! litromagazine.com/litro-magazine…

There are people from my trip to Senegal who remain… Who, for different reasons, I cannot forget. Who came together across distinct memories, across locations…to settle in a corner of my mind. To create the feeling I now have when I think of this place. ehaelonge.substack.com/p/travel-tale-…

Writer’s dilemma is a new series where I examine different aspects that have brought anxiety to my writing journey, which I think other writers can relate to. The first piece is on sharing my writing. ehaelonge.substack.com/p/writers-dile…

My essay, “On time: A reflection” was published in @Marokomag, the literary magazine of @LagosPoetryFest. Time terrifies and inspires me, even as relates to my writing. Read it here: marokomag.com/post/on-time-a…

“At a certain age, you close ranks, you close in on yourself. I did it too. Trust me, I know. Saw my life and whispered that it was good. Wrapped my arms around the fullness of it, the people, the things, wanting to preserve it exactly as it was.” open.substack.com/pub/ehaelonge/…

There are times I have been made aware of the feeble arrangement we have with life. We are blissfully unaware of just how much misfortune we have escaped. But sometimes we are not. I’m not sure how many times I could have died in the breath-taking Rwanda. open.substack.com/pub/ehaelonge/…

“I met two women at restaurants in Paris. Both strangers, both wanting to spill secrets … from across the table. They were in very different places, speaking of what it means to have love and a full life. And it made me wonder: Which of them was happier?” open.substack.com/pub/ehaelonge/…

“I recognised it immediately, felt my form bend and become the girl in the piece. Felt my hair loosen, ready to be braided. Felt hands on my head, and remembered those days at home with my beloved aunty sitting behind me…” Here, a shared memory: open.substack.com/pub/ehaelonge/…

My first “post”! Now that “detty december” is basically over, I made a short visual story on my perspective of this time in Lagos and how it’s a bit more complex than it’s portrayed (for both those that leave and those that stay). You can watch it here: open.substack.com/pub/ehaelonge/…
