I want to use this opportunity to thank those of you who always had nice things to say each time I published a post here. Especially those who thought I would make a good author someday. Every time I post a 'job hunting experience', most of reprimanded me to stop wasting my time submitting job applications when I had something bigger in me, you urged me to monetise my talent. A few of you even called me 'Chimamanda' which is very flattering. The good news is, I finally did it! Not only did I write, I got published which is every writer's dream. My book was made available in print this week and the reviews I am getting makes me really happy. When I started out last year, I literally slept on Nairaland. This is where I came to look for information on Nigerian editors, authors, p graphic designers, publishers and the process of obtaining an ISBN number. Nairaland was truly one of my biggest sources for information and I could not help but mention it in a few chapters in my fictional novel. Anyway, I don't want to trail from the purpose of this post. This is me saying a big thank you to everyone who supported me here. Moderators et all. (Including you, Seun). I know a lot of budding authors are reading this I want this post to inspire them. I read something similar to this seven months ago that forced me to seat up. If anyone has any questions related to self-publishing, ask and I'll try to respond to all of them. 319 Likes 37 Shares

Congratulations dear. I will love to learn more from you privately. There are many ideas and many things one could write on. But the question that bothers many young people is "How". An idea is almost useless except when brought to life through an action or a series of physical processes. Naijasinglegirl, I will love to learn more from you. 2 Likes 1 Share |
