Lerrie John: Dear DanThanks for this John. You know like in a typical Igbo community, the villages are small and the distance between them not that long. Though some villages were relatively farther than others as explained in the story. Ekuku left with the girls for Abo very early in the morning and arrived in the evening. In my town, I can easily walk two villages in like two hours. Nothing more was said about the time they returned, only it was dark when they left Okala's place. Lerrie John: The language in the plot was ok until you got to the gatekeeper to Uwoma forest. I found the language there went a bit off-line. It went more European than African. For example, when the short old man says:Of course, I don't mind, this is the main reason I put up my story here. And many thanks. Well, the sense is that Nhi spoke in an old tongue. That was all I tried to portray. Lerrie John: Still on use of words. Azu was carrying a sword on him. I can barely envision a sword in the African setting. If he carried a knife (maybe carved) that would make more sense in this particular setting.We have old African swords too. Yes, they are not smooth and shiny, but they are swords, sword-like. I can't say anything about 'mistress'. Lerrie John: Enough with my observations I'm getting bored of my self too. **yawns heavily**Thanks Lerrie. I appreciate. |

Johnson Emma: pls when are we going to get the remaining part of the story! Udeme288: oga Dan, what's holding d continuation nan ah no fit wait o omotenah: WOW! plz update o Udeme288: oga Dan, what's holding d continuation nan ah no fit wait oWow...glad with you guys' desire for the continuation. But OLA II: The Battle of Gods is still in its first draft. I'd like to go over it at least the third time before uploading. It was much easier when I was in school. Good news is I got an editor for Ola: The Tale of a Young Moon Maiden today. Damn, these people can charge. I only pray she does a thorough job at the end. She said she'll be ready in like 3 wks which sounds nice, that means within a month, Ola is likely to b in print. Please your opinions and suggestions are welcomed. |
