Lol... liking u too *winks*

Music works for me.

As I type and write, earphones plugged to my ears, music on low key... I type away...

I like a serene environment too. No noise of any kind, fresh cool breeze coming from the window, full stomach... I cant write with an empty stomach. I will be distracted... seated on the bed or a comfortable chair, thoughts in sync with my fingers and I speed away...

I get most of my inspiration from my immediate environment, past and present experiences, the lifestyle of family, friends, neighbors and strangers ...

I read too and watch a lot of romantic movies, plus action thriller series films...

And I must not forget my special mug of hot lipton tea, creamed with milk... plenty milk and sweetened with sugar.

*winks*

Then, by all means, finish the story offline, put it in a pdf, and sell it if you like. We the readers are ready to buy.You should understand that most readers also want the best for you lot because we know it's not easy. Personally, there are some stories I have read on here and I'm like "this story is too good to be here for free". I'm not trying to castigate anybody, I just want the best for everyone (Writers and Readers).

JeffreyJamez:



None of the writers begged anyone to read?... Really? That's the route you're gonna take?. If you tell me it's about plagiarism, I will understand that. Some of us readers are ready to pay to read good stories. I can't count the number of books I have bought on Okadabooks. If you feel your work being plagiarized is the reason you dont want to continue a story or writing on NL, fine, no problem. But at least have the courtesy to show readers where to get the full story even if it means paying for it. A writer did that in sexuality section and everyone was happy. Don't gimme that line of "writers didn't beg anybody to read". After all it's the same writers that will complain if readers don't comment on their​ stories.



Personally, I feel all writers should use NL as a stepping stone. Gather your readership from here, then establish yourself by either self publishing or opening a monetized blog. Trust me, many of us readers are ready to pay for your books if you're good.

This is big. Nairaland seems better, what ever gets to the net is now being plagiarized.
I have some of my works on Naijastories. Some weeks ago, I decided to find their titles on google and I saw my stories on other sites. Even on silverbird television blog.
Seun Osewa has tried to curb plagiarism by making sure you can't copy with a laptop but till date the human brain will always find another way to get what it so desires.

That said and done. We'll keep digging out ways this can be done. But for now, let's make this place lively..
Bring in more sponsors and have no need to post full stories here. This place should be a haven for literature lovers, a training ground....A place we can all build a family of Nigeriatop writers. The old men and women have tried but we should build the future.

They all tell us about their era, but who's going to tell us about this era too, and tell coming children if everyone stops writing.

Over time, though not all the time, many of those who stops writing online find it hard to continue writing offline.
