Nice move Evajael... And welcome back. Let me introduce myself, my name is Kayode Odusanya... I'm a romance novelist. I focus on short stories and novelettes...they are easier for me to write than Novellas and Novels. My dream is to be Nigeria's first billionaire author. I don't know how I am going to achieve that goal yet, I just know I am going to do it. 2 Likes |

You can always count on him to put in a word or two that'll help and encourage writers here. A round of applause for him jare. We're still waiting for the rest 1 Like |

“If I want to read a novel, I write one” – Benjamin Disreali I’m Centino. Relatively new here. The above quote is why I write. I have no heroes of the letter; I follow in the footsteps of none. I am my own inspiration. I got bored stiff with “literature” and began to fancy myself to do a good enough job for me. I reckoned if I wrote my kind of book, surely I would find likeminded people who will appreciate my style. I do not like fluff. If something happened in the afternoon, tell me what happened. I don’t see the point of describing the sun. How the environment laughed because the yellowish red hue of the sun tantalized the roofs. What’s that? I know what an afternoon looks like! I like a story. A good plot. Who likes who? Who hates who? Who is after who? Who fvcked who? The human experience is robust and I just want to hear of it. From every perspective. And for goodness sake go straight to the point! If an adverb will drive home a point, I will use an adverb. If a simile sounds silly, I cut it out. If you are obsessed with words and you want to wa.nk to them go and read a poem. Rules? They are not for me. I will write my own the way I want to. “Better to write for yourself and have no public, than write for the public and have no self” – Cyril Conolly. Word. “The first thing a writer has to do is find another source of income…" Ellen Gilchrist. And I will add, then you can experience true freedom. I will not write about an asylum seeking PHD holder who ends up as a cab driver in New York so that I can be appreciated internationally. I will not carry my Katakata Street to okada books and sell 10 copies in one year so that I can get something for my troubles. I will not read “how to be a successful author” and burn myself out trying to sound like someone else. If you want to be the next Chinua Achebe, sorry you came 60 years late. So I make sure I am not hungry. If the money comes, I want it on my own terms. So I write when I want to write, if I want to write, how I want to write. The only people I want to kill are the ghost readers of Nairaland. Come on guys…Tell a brother/sister that s/he is trying. You don’t know how far that can go. You think this is easy? Try it. Finally. Most tellingly… “One of the things a writer is for is to say the unsayable, speak the unspeakable and ask difficult questions” – Salman Rushdie At Easter, I wrote a chapter I called "food for thought". In it, I asked why anyone thinks Jesus whose flesh was dust like mine and yours would ascend to heaven where there is no such consistency. Do you think God is in the business of impressing people? Do you think creating heaven and earth and trying to save the souls of man is a circus? (Didn’t put it quite like that but you get my drift…). The result? I got the fewest likes that week. And guess what? It doesn’t matter. I will say it. I am a writer. Aunty Eva Jael. That is me o. Having said that, you can now bundle over here and see what I do for Nairaland mostly on Sundays. Many thanks. https://www.nairaland.com/3893393/number-225-katakata-street 1 Like |

I'm Onetop, I love reading and writing stories, especially when am bored Nairalanders(literature section) are helpful so far. One funny thing is that; updating can be tiring sometimes, I don't know if it's only me. As for ghostreaders; they are so discouraging , they don't know the power of comments, quotes, likes, and shares on writers, especially new writers. Here is the link to my story, not forgeting I appreciate everyone following my story. www.nairaland.com/4445957/ajayi-tenants 1 Like |
