I've come to acknowledge that my deepest ideas lie within my fears.
They don't affect me directly. Rather they're rooted within situations I overlook. It's like you having a wisp of a premonition and waving it off as if it were nothing important and would never be.

The process of growth differs with everyone. For some, it's a flash of lightning, and for some it's a tortoise's migration. In the end, both sides turn out well.
In your pursuits, never neglect PROCESS. Dreams peter into mere fantasies when you hope to build Rome in a day.
Hurray!
Jan 1st, 2022, African Writers Magazine (@AfWriterMag) published my short story, The Dust Can Intoxicate. It's an echo of reflection, grief, trauma, superstition, and the want for love,

Earlier today, I was walking my street to get some stuff. There were a lot to take in, so I got myself thinking wild. I want to create a short piece, a very dark piece. Moving as always. But dark that my readers would be divided into two, with one part trying to believe I'm still
Hurray! I got an acceptance for my queer-themed short story. @KalahariReview will be publishing it.
Now I'm going to open the manuscript and read it over and again and bask in the euphoria of the good news.
I need two more acceptances before the close of the year! Bring em!😁
If you want to come out uniquely and produce something that hits differently, something that sets you apart from the billions of other writers who're writing almost the same thing as you are, then see CLICHÉS as your foe. If you're afraid to part with the clichés, BEND THEM!
As a writer, you most likely know you're hitting on the right note when, as you flesh out the details, you feel yourself feeling the emotions you're infusing in your story. You become a part of it—creating a replica of what your readers would experience once your story is out.

The human mind, to the writer, is a horse to be harnessed, and made to follow the rhythm of the plot, whatever path the flow might take.

Dialogues can breathe life into the most dormant characters and bore deep into them. And it can be that important tool you need to drive your story on and ease in a relatable atmosphere.

Read your work aloud! This is the best advice I can give. When you read aloud you find out how much can be cut, how much is unnecessary. You hear how the story flows. And nothing teaches you as much about writing dialogue as listening to it.

Hello, creatives!
We are sorry to have taken a week-long break without giving any updates on the publication of Issue #1
Issue #1: Tempest will be up in a week!
Anticipate.
We will begin the countdown as soon as possible.
Stories thrive on many things.
Some say on emotions, some say on characters, some say on dialogue, some say on descriptions, and some say on freshness.👇
Raymond Carver's note:
"It's possible, in a poem or a short story, to write about commonplace things and objects using commonplace but precise language, and to endow those things—a chair, a window curtain, a fork, a stone, a woman's earrings—with immense, EVEN startling power."
Special thanks to the editors, and the amazing contributors.
If you received our acceptance mails, kindly anticipate the magazine's publication in three weeks from now.✌️
