Read good books, travel, paint, invest in a good skill, go to the gym, build your body, build your mind, have a personal relationship with God, pray, pray, get a dog or cat (dogs are better lol), create a kitchen routine. By all means, focus on the things that will never leave.
Dear online African literary magazines, please try to put the date and word counts of your stories to make them easier to keep track of and review. Thanks!
[Also, some kind of content tags would be nice for discoverability and searchability.]
