Grace is out today in the UK!! I am feeling like an older sibling. And like any older sibling, I wish Grace lots of success, lots of readers and everything good @chikaunigwe

My early review of Grace by @chikaunigwe is live.

I zoomed through it, it's so well written and so addictive. I HIGHLY recommend it.

In a country obsessed with women's fecundity, & adoption isn't very popular, scams like this will continue to thrive, as will baby factories like Nani's mother's in The Middle Daughter @chikaunigwe ):

Make sure that your writing encourages empathy with your characters, not sympathy for them. The latter is telling rather than showing. #WritingCommunity #writingtips

[The Middle Daughter and Grace @TheMidDaughter]

Opened an old file and the first line of an earlier draft of the novel is Nani thinking this: "The heart is a muscle and mine is strained. A line from a song? A line from a poem mostly forgotten?" I am glad I got rid of it :)

If writing for you is keeping up with what is trendy, you’ll end up always chasing shadows. Write the stories that demand you write them, the ones that haunt you. Write them bravely. Respect the process. #writingtips
