WRITINGS & RESEARCH
This space offers a glimpse into the creative and critical work that sits behind Scribble Ink's pathways, programmes and philosophy.
Through two ongoing collections, The Chronicles of Nadia and The Accidental Academic, the questions, stories, experiments, discoveries, and occasional missteps re all documented. Together, they explore creativity, curiosity, culture, learning, and the realities of building a life around storytelling.
Whether you're here for fiction, memoir, research, reflective essays, or thought pieces, these collections encourage you to embrace your own creative journey, wherever you happen to be on the path.

The Chronicles of Nadia is a creative playground of stories, observations, memoirs, thought pieces, and works in progress. Some entries emerge as short stories, flash fiction, novella instalments, or sneak previews of projects destined for the stage, screen, or page. Others are personal reflections inspired by culture, community, everyday encounters, and the wonderfully unpredictable moments that often prove stranger than fiction.
Not every piece is written with a specific destination in mind. Some exist simply because writing is a practice worth nurturing and creativity is something best explored through curiosity, experimentation, and play. Together, these writings form an evolving archive of the ideas, experiences, and stories that continue to shape my creative work
The Accidental Academic documents my journey as a doctoral researcher, writer, and lifelong learner. As someone who spent much of her school years in bottom-set classes and often struggled within traditional academic environments, I never imagined that pursuing a doctorate would become part of my story.
This collection exists to challenge the notion that academia belongs to a particular type of person. Through research journals, reflective essays, thought pieces, and field notes from the front line of doctoral study, I share the realities of navigating higher education while learning, questioning, experimenting, and figuring things out as I go.
Alongside reflections on research and creative practice, these writings explore the often-unspoken culture of academia itself—the uncertainties, contradictions, gatekeeping, discoveries, and moments of growth that can make the academic journey as complex as the research it produces.
Selected publications also include research excerpts and reference-able materials designed to support further learning, discussion, and inquiry. Above all, this collection is an invitation to embrace curiosity, acknowledge uncertainty, and recognise that not having all the answers is often where meaningful learning begins.
