Being the best Quote by Ayobami Adebayo

“I established my first writing routine when I was 13. The school year had just ended, and I'd won a stack of books for being the best student in a number of subjects. The pile included several 60-leaved notebooks that I decided to fill with short stories.” quote by Ayobami Adebayo
