Around this time in 2022, I began my writing journey as a clueless 19 year old.
Got my first prize from writing after emerging the winner of a short story writing contest. The prize was 50k if I remember correctly.
Look who has grown within two years now!

Before writing, I have a picture of how the plot should go.
When writing, I don’t have control of what is happening in the story.
When I’m done, I have produced a story entirely different from what I had in mind.
I’m sure I’m not the only one this happens to.

Things have fallen apart, and We are no longer at Ease. Now, all we can say is There was Once a Country because this Man of the People has shot the economy of Nigeria an arrow; it is obviously not The Arrow of God.

I have converted almost all of roommates to avid readers of African literature.
A particular roommate has read four books in less than two weeks. And she’s a law student who also reads their voluminous textbooks too.
You can’t be with me and not like books. 🙈😁

Got this yesterday;God is good.
Mid this year, my twin and I were having a convo and I told her I’d get my first laptop by working and saving up for it. At the time, I was without a job and had no hope. I only spoke the word into existence.
Guess who just got her first laptop!

I was unanimously appointed as the Librarian for the Department of English, Unilag.

Writing a story is a magical experience. You feel like a god. You breathe life into characters and describe things you’ve never experienced.
Then the plot moves and you get lost in the world of your story. You see your characters come alive and you become an observer.

Now, allow me boast a little? I finished 50k words in less than three weeks. I’m the best person for the job, innit? 😌
📢 I’m currently ghostwriting a manuscript.
📢 Have a crazily tight deadline to meet and then there’s the expected word count.
📢 Manuscript given to me was over 12k words. In less than two days, it’s currently over 21k.

It is with great sadness that I announce to the general public the passing away of a dear friend of mine.
I got this book as a gift from someone last year but cannot find it anymore. To say I am in pain would be an understatement. Rest on, dear friend. You’re forever cherished.

Whenever I read a book and pause for a while to do something else, the book comes alive in my head and it’d seem like I had been watching a movie instead.
Sometimes, I search for the movie on my phone or PC then remember it was a book!

All writers should be respected. Your preference for one over the other shouldn’t be a basis for hurling insults. What is this tribal war over WS and CA? Their writing styles differ. If you don’t like ‘em, drink water and move.
