Bro i hear you......and understand your disappointments. But why would i play with people's feelings just as you initially said?. That's the reason for me being unhappy with the comments. Anyway i'm really sorry for not updating this weekend but it was because of something beyond my control. My cellphone screen became epileptic. I dont know if any if you guys have ever experienced it. This time it got worse. All the touch buttons were completely dancing ashoki. I decided to go hard on it and the screen vanished. Anyway i went to tge department store today and got a new phone. It will be connected tomorrow. But for the data in the old one, i don't know if they will be able to extract it.

NOTED & UNDERSTOOD

Well, when i first came to the literature section of nairaland, i saw some good stories and alot of bad and unfinished ones. As of that time i was writing the final parts of Bloodline 1. My wife who was with me when i was surfing through the section, read some of the stories and encouraged me to upload mine. I flatly refused. I told her the headaches that comes with it and even showed her comments like the one above. She told me not to worry and just do things at my convenient time. Now she is even kind of regretting. Why?, when she was 7 months pregnant she had to take an uncomfortable subway ride with me to the phone service centre because i couldnt locate the place. Some early morning she wakes up to see she is lying down on the bed alone cos i'm in the other room typing new updates. I get up at 5 am, type for an hour then take shower to go to work. In the bus stop i think of what to write. Standing or sitting in the bus, i got to my "Idea note" and write things i might use. At work i use bathroom breaks to write as much as i can. The boss sees me but says nothing because he knows that i know that without me, his company will have production problems. And besides the products are being rolled out at a faster pace(meaning that i compensate by overworking myself). Then i come back home by 9 pm, take shower, listen to what the wife have to say and show my daughter that daddy loves her. Then i use whats left of my time to write if i'm not passing out in the bed due to being dead tired. I do this for six days a week, four weeks a month.

So read all i have said above and tell me if you can even write a full paragraph of a story, how much more a full chapter of a story. I have taken my cellphone to the service centre three times this year. Each time it cost about 4000 naira to fix it and it is always the same problem. Yet if i dont make update, i still come here to apologize and try to squeeze out time to complete one and upload because i always complete what i start, no matter how difficult it is. Today is sunday here so by monday i will get a new phone, extract the updates in the old phone and continue this story. After this story is done, i will unregister from nairaland and go back to being the ghostreader i was.

And for your information, i and Oyin are friends on whatsapp. He too was complaining bitterly about what people say whenever he fails to update. He said he was even threatened.

Ironkurtain, regretfully, my comment is misconceived and thus, attracting negative reactions which I never envisioned. Imagine where it becomes one's routine to visit Nairaland to keep up with your story, that every spare time of the day; at the office, at the hectic traffic jam, at the living room while listening to news, while cooking, before i retire to bed; midnight if i'm awake; you name it, i would always peek at your page to see if there's new update. That's how engrossed i am with your story. So when i commented, i did that with a tone of dejection and disappointment, as though i had left something undone for the day. My write up only reflects the disappointment of an ardent follower of your story & not to insult you or being ungrateful as some people make it seem. I apologise to you and all those who misreceived my initial comment. Thanks and God bless.
