AboutNahima Kern, Author at The Creative Issue
Nahima Kern
Currently, I am sitting in my dark bedroom puzzling over what I should say in this bio. Basically, I am a traditional Japanese musical instrument loving, cat crazy Masters graduate with a love of the arts and a passion for writing about it. You can often find me reading my extensive Tolkien collection or unabridged translation of Wu Cheng’en’s Journey to The West, playing my Koto, drinking delicious tea and craving more tattoos. I find the greatest part about writing is the fact that the English language has so many beautiful words and phrases. Like Cellar Door. I have an irrational fear of cracks in the pavement and a love for knitting bad beanies. If I had a magical ability it would be to make a never-ending pudding, because who doesn’t love cake? No one. No one doesn’t love cake.Adrian Dwyer’s Flowering Tree
