Been waiting so long to do this and now that i have time i dont see why not! perfect oppotunity for the story lovers to mingle, post their narratives (no matter how crazy) and laugh out real loud! Basically this is just an opportunity for me to write everyday life experiences, share jokes, write narratives, create writing competitions and put a smile on your faces as much as i can! I love reading, i actually get excited everytime i come across someone who is as crazy about reading as me. I read almost everything other than inspirational stuff (is “think big” in that category? haha)coz i find them cliche. no offence though. My father influenced my reading habits alot, though he never knew how much until that day he saw a tattered copy of “things fall apart” in my school bag when i was in class four. i’ll never forget the look on his face when he saw it, lol, and i remember him asking me how i could read a book in class four while he did it as a set book in form six. I remember wondering what a set book was, heck i didnt even know who Chinua achebe was. i was just a kid who loved books and who had swaped my “Wages of sins” pacesetter for that set piece from my equally stori obsessed classmate, lynette Moraa. I had my first book published three months ago, so far i can say its my biggest achievement so far. From when it was a pipe dream eleven years ago at the age of eleven to seeing the first hard copy ( a few tears were in order u’l agree) this is something i am very proud of. “NO CHANGE” is a political narrative that i wrote five years ago but was only able to publish a few moths ago due to some reasons here and there. and no, it has nothing at all to do with the current political happenings as tht was a heading i has given it five years ago. initially the book was to be called HONOURABLE, but i changed the heading as i found it a bit cliche. i know, funny how i keep using the term cliche to describe how cliche a word is. I’L be posting the ideas as they come. No more scriblling on my desk {hehe} and im currently working on a new book that il be posting chapter by chapter as days go by. for those who have been asking me about how to get copies of NO CHANGE – the initial published copies are finished, the next copies will be out in a months time God willing- dont worry below is its epilogue. hopefully you guys will like it!

How I like this story. Hopefully you have thousands of such for people like me. I get inspired by other people’s stories.
At standard 3 my father would wonder how I got interested in reading passages from a standard 8 English set book. St standard 8 I could not count the number of novels I had read. Most interesting were novels by John Kiriamiti
I loved reading a lot and now I do a lot more. Keep. Keep doing the good work
