Sakshi Daral

I am an emerging writer based in Toronto, creating original work across blogs, poetry, and long-form storytelling. My writing combines a unique voice and personal experience to create a strong structure and an engaging narrative.

Writing was never my passion growing up, but I loved dreaming up stories. But the duties of adulthood came knocking, life took over, and I forgot all about storytelling. Then the pandemic hit, and my life condition spiralled down, along with the global health scenario, into the gutter. Amid a phase of spiritual restructuring, I remembered my life’s calling. That’s how my writing practice found a slow, disciplined rhythm.

Over the years, I have often surprised myself. Like when I wrote my first poem, after years of ‘believing’ that I didn’t have a single poetic bone in my body. So now, I let my creativity flow / wherever it is meant to go/ Enjoying the journey as the prize.
