Well, i'm here again. Yeah, i know that i've hardly been here in a very long time and you're all wondering what's happening. It's been what now? Say five months, right? I can hear you think out loudly. You're thinking, 'but i read her post in February'. Well, i do remember trying to drop a few lines about love. I won't say i was lovetsruck. I guess i just stopped being afraid to tell the world how exactly i felt about that person i truly love and care for. Yeah! You just heard it, I'm in love. And it's sure a beautiful thing.
That's the end of that story. Now to a new one. Or did you think i will just go on giving you such privileged details? No way my dear! That's for another medium. Not a public space. I'm far too private.
I've been trying to write a novel since like forever. I think this thing called procrastination is getting the better of me. I have managed to scribble down the first few pages of the first chapter. The issue is that i have not learnt to put my thoughts together on the theme of the book. I will like to do something that is not normally Nigerian but incorporate the Nigerian setting into the whole plot. I hope you can reconcile that in your mind? (Trust me, it was hard for even my mind to sell such idea to me also)
I just read on SuddenlyMarketing (a very resourceful blog, by the way) about the best way to write. It says, Write drunk, edit sober. Check it out! http://www.suddenlymarketing.com/write-drunk-edit-sober-how-to-blog-like-you-mean-it/ I totally buy the idea! I remember writing once that the best way to write is to just write. It's just that everytime i decide to 'just write' i begin to think of what the other person might think of the copy if he/she saw that i was the one who did the writing. Well, SuddenlyMarketing must have thought about me when writing that post.
I have therefore decided that since it is all on my inside, i might as well just start writing without thinking about the technicality of the copy first and then edit like i'm the editor-in-chief of the whole world. I have not tried it but i believe it isn't a bad strategy because alcohol always brings out the real person in a drunk. In the same way, writing drunk and editing sober will help you communicate your deepest thoughts without fear of not hitting the target intended.
The best writers, i believe, have written because they believed that what they were writing was going to create a sort of revolution somehow and did not care about whom it will favour and whom it will not but whom it will change.
I want to change things! I want to change people positively! I want peace in the world! I will write like every person in the world is reading henceforth and not care a hoot what negativity is injected into my resolve! I will write and will win!
