EkopSparoAyara: I have missed you too my dear and yes, I have missed the old literatureland. I don't mean to sound condescending or whatever name the English man would call this comment but you're absolutely right. I stopped reading a lot of stuff here because to be very honest, most of the stories here now don't carry the depth, the awe and even the attractiveness that i used to know Literature section for. Like you rightly said, some of the titles here, heaven knows I don't see myself opening them. Please forgive me. I'm just speaking my mind. I remember when I wrote Hidden Diamonds. Those were some of the most exciting times of my life. I miss my readers, popcorn crew. I think the popcorn guy was Adesina12 or something like that. I wish we could bring back the good old days or better still, sharpen this present day to be better than those old days we missed. Thanks dear for your comments. 1 Like |

About the name thing, for me, I like names that aren't common. I spend hours looking for names that I find cute especially for my female characters. I think my parents are my inspiration. They gave us all names that I think are beautiful so I try to do that for my characters. Now that I think of it, I don't think I've ever had a story where majority of the names are native names. Most of my characters have English names. I think I should work on that. Lemme try to be a good and patriotic African. Let's keep it coming dearies. How do you decide on the names of your characters?

EvaJael: I'm doing well thanks EvaJael. Yawing here and there to the waves of life's vicissitudes. EkopSparoAyara said a lot of truths up there. But I have seen enough in my three active years here to understand why these are. As a writer, I'll say to all writers, whatever you do, don't stop writing. And to the readers, I'll also say whatever you decide to read, just don't stop reading. Las las we'll all be alright I trust you are doing well too. Nice to hear from you again. 3 Likes |

EvaJael: Hi, I'm relatively new here so you may not know me. I think I started uploading my stories here around 2016. But since then I have changed locations (states) like three times. Between last year and this year, things have been wild and crazy, so they are the reasons I haven't updated for a while. But I still have like 3 to 4 stories I owe my followers and fans here and it is a wish I aim to fulfill. Here are links to my stories if you need to read them. https://www.nairaland.com/3605317/marvel-chronicles-science-fiction https://www.nairaland.com/3775367/marvel-chronicles-2-executive-sanction https://www.nairaland.com/3746976/memoirs-blood-steel-fantasy-novel https://www.nairaland.com/4947614/penance Besides I feel stories here are not monetized, so most gifted writers just get more interested in other things that yield income than taking the time, effort and resources to post stories here. Most of the stories you will find new here are people that are making first attempts at writing. As for me, writing is fun. 3 Likes |

Hi everyone, I'm John Mfon...I've been an ardent fan of Nl literature session since 2013...and i can boldly state that Nigeria is blessed with gifted writers. I've read over a thousand projects here(completed/uncompleted)...Nl is really blessed with writers. But one problem is the lack of motivation and it has killed the urge of many gifted writers. But as Boss Centino said, we should keep on the good works, one day...we'll get there. I have four works here on Nl DESIRE 1 Captain Jack (a val story) The Devil's Love(a tale of a rapist) DESIRE 2 (House on Fire) currently ongoing. °•°•°•°•°•°• Based on the question sweet Evajael asked, picking names and locations of characters in your stories solely depends on the kind of story you wish to build. Before a story get on paper, internally you must have prepared the basic scenes and foundation of how it'll look like. The locations you use might be the ones you've visited or sometimes you might create your own location. As for the characters, you know they potray the story. Their names might not be the problem...you can choose any name. The main thing is building the character to suit the purpose created for it. If you wish to portray a narcissist, you must make sure his actions reflect pride and egoism...every activity of such person must reflect that attitude. So, building your characters matters. The names could be based on the tribe...like if I'm writing about an Akwa Ibom boy, i could take: Emem, Udoh, Akpan etc... But the character buildup is important. I'm just a learner.... °•°•°•°• For those of you having heartache and depressed moment...don't let the recession of this country take its toll on you....Manage life how it is, God is always near us. DESIRE 2(House on Fire) is on the literature page to make you laugh and forget your sorrows. 1 Like |
