mashnino: Sorry mate but your story is not that engaging. It was pretty cringe-worthy unfortunately but it did make me laugh (at the story mainly) I'm even surprised that the author of such narrative is a male - this is not the style of writing I acquaint with men It sounds more like a person relaying gossip than a memoir Permit to ask, Umar Mash is this memoir loosely based on your life? |

*Boring* |
Re: Love Memoir Of This Hausa Boy-by Umar Mash by lolaluv1(f): 2:02pm On Feb 05, 2012 |
Well, Mash. Which do you want first? The negative or the positive? Well, here goes; NEGATIVES; 1. Punctuation! You overused the 'comma' (especially in the first passage). Maybe the fact that NAIRALAND converts ellipsis to comma was responsible for that sha. Maybe reduce the commas and make judicious use of the semi colon, colon, ellipsis and exclamation mark. 2. You made your stance about women too obvious, which at the end made the story seem like a normal NL woman bashing thread. 3. Pick a tense you intend to use and stick to it as much as possible e.g past, present. We tend to mix different tenses, I make the mistake too. POSITIVES: 1. You used the first person narrative in an endearing way. I felt like my friend was gisting me. 2. I found it funny and witty. Quite attractively infused with local flavour as well. 3. It was refreshingly simplistic, with some nice introspective quotes on love. Sometimes, that is just what the soul needs. What I'd say is; if you have a passion for writing, then don't relent. Practice they say, makes perfect and in a world with billions of people, surely there'd be people who would love your style. A piece isn't meant to be loved by everybody btw. It is for a target audience. So we can never write to please everybody. Every opportunity you get/have, write and write! All tha very best and more ink to your pen! |

If this were your own personal story that you were presenting as a thread and asking for advice, then ok. But as a story, am sorry. . . . Its just not a story, more of ranting, like you are just pouring out your emotions for your self only, but not for others consumption. You have to work more on your language, plot, contsruction, mech accuracy. But dont give up sha, this is a bold step, you can only get better from here. I wrote my first novel in my ss3, it just wasnt making sense then, but i only got better from there. Do you read novels at all, trying emulating some good authors style of writing, its a good start. Cheers! |
Re: Love Memoir Of This Hausa Boy-by Umar Mash by lolaluv1(f): 3:23pm On Feb 05, 2012 |
Haba ID! Lol. I didn't bombard mash. It's just my own critique and I also face mine when my supervisors go through my research work. It's not hate but constructive critique that should make us better at what we're doing. You need to see two pages of complaint I had one time. I had to take it to heart and effect corrections because it makes me better at my research. If my work is not corrected by my supervisor, then he hasn't gone through it extensively. Note that I sincerely loved the writing. I am not shooting him down. I just made some suggestions that could make for smoother read. |

You are somehow all over the place. Now, you are using the omniscient style of narration (a change from the style you used earlier). Interesting story nonetheless! Definitely a diamond in the rough, you can do better! Waiting. . . |
