internetpo:
Hi! Great people on this forum.

I need help with listing some e-books, about 10 of them, mostly children primer books (I go up, she go, up kind of books) on the following sites.
1. Scrib
2. kobobooks
3. Barnes and noble (nook)
4. Apple book
5. Amazon Kindle

Most of these books have pictures and are already in epub format. Anyone willing to help at a good price?

If you don't get anyone, you can try using "Draft2digital." They help with that for a % of your sales. It is quite easy to do yourself. I'm not tech savvy and I use them to distribute my books to all those platforms you listed above...except Amazon (I submit my books to Amazon directly by myself).

NOW LISTEN AND LISTEN CAREFULLY.

ABACHA IN HIS HUMAN SENSE STOLE BUT WAS ACTUALLY USED BY GOD TO INVEST THESE NIGERIA'S MONEY IN SAFE HANDS

IF THESE MONEY WERE NOT ~~STOLLEN~~ , DO YOU THINK NIGERIA WOULD BE ANY DIFFERENT ?

OK, WHAT AND WHAT HAVE WE ACHIEVED WITH OTHER UN-STOLLEN MONEY SINCE 1993 ?

HE SAVED THESE MONEY IN LITTLE CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE, AND NOW THAT THE EXCHANGE RATE IS BIGGER, WE ARE CASHING OUT LARGE.

HE ONLY INVESTED THESE HUGE FUNDS FOR US ALL.

GOD BLESS ABACHA.......THE PRESIDENT THAT SAVED FOR THE FUTURE

"OK, WHAT AND WHAT HAVE WE ACHIEVED WITH OTHER UN-STOLLEN MONEY SINCE 1993 ?"

Exactly! I'm more concerned with the presidents that came after him...the place Abacha stole from didn't stop pumping out money.

Yeah ironically.. but the best president who brought transformation to the country you ever had. Don't get me wrong . I don't like his tarannical nature. I hated his guts . But the Man tried in transforming Nigeria.. the 3rd Mainland bridge. It was built in his regime. And many more. It's on records. May his soul rest in peace.

Babangida actually built the Third Mainland bridge, but I get what you're saying. I was alive (a teenager) during Abacha's time, and it wasn't as bad as people make it out to be. My own question to people on this thread is...after this man left office, the place he stole this monies from didn't suddenly stop pumping out money, what happened with the other presidents after him? Why didn't they turn Nigeria to a paradise? Maybe they looted just as much as he did, or even more. That is what we should be talking about.

Truly speaking, as a writer before I start any story or script, I will first act out the scene by myself alone behind closed doors. At that moment I am the hero, the villain, a man, a woman, a child or even a multitude of people.

Once am in the zone, my brain ceases to assimilate real world information as I am deeply immersed in my world of fiction. It is just like Astral traveling.

And truly I feel a kind of attachment to my stories.

Interesting. Thanks for this comment.

It's like a thin line between *sanity and insanity*...

Honestly Kayo. That's what it is...

I get so drawn into the world I'm creating and nothing else matters than racing my characters down to the finish line..Their pain becomes mine.Their goals, my bane. their flops my biggest strengths and their past my future. Even their deepest secrets hunt me daily. Like I' know a character will kill another in the next chapter and it's against my ethics to tell about it. I figure it out the hard way that it would make me a stool pigeon. And let it be I would tell myself. It's painful though lol.

Sometimes I see things I've wanted to wrIte about in fiction manifest in reality even before I pen them down..... Some kinda deja vu or crazy ass deep voodoo shit Ion know. A thin line between sanity and insanity. I hope I don't run wacko one day (Lol)

No wonder a wise man once said “ Writers are prophets”

Thanks for your comment. I'm glad I am not alone on this. I guess it is the price we have to pay for "creating" something out of nothing.

Literature › Fiction Writers, What Do You Go Through Mentally While Writing A Story? by kayo80(op): 1:00pm On May 07, 2020*

I know what I go through mentally, emotionally. physically, and psychologically while writing a story, but I want to hear from other fiction writers.

Ernest Hemingway once said, "There is nothing to writing. All you do is seat down at a typewriter and bleed." This quote best explains how I feel sometimes, and I feel a lot of other writers feel this way too while working on a story. It might sound odd to most people, but I believe if you really are a creative, you will understand this. There is the saying, "great art comes from great pain." The saying doesn't say, art comes from great pain...but GREAT ART comes from great pain.

I would like to get comments from other fiction writers out there. The way I would like to explain this further is like...fiction writers have very little filters in the brain...we let a lot in, compared to the normal person. This fuels our creativity, and also makes us have a lot of baggage in our brains. It's like walking that fine line between sanity and insanity. Once again, I believe creative people will understand what I am talking about.

When you are writing, you immerse yourself deep into that world you have created in your head. You live the life of the individual characters of your story (you are a man, a woman, a girl, a little boy, an introvert, an extrovert...). There lives are as real as real can be to you. And because the brain can't tell the difference between what is imagine and what is real, you sometimes experience some of the things you write about. That is why a Larrysun can experience multiple robberies within a short period of time because he writes great crime stories, and he is deeply immersed in that world. Or why, I can experience roller coasters of emotions in my personal life, because I write love stories.

Let me give you an experience of what I'm talking about. In 2016, I had just finished writing the last chapter of my story, Me, You, and Them : Book 2 (https://www.nairaland.com/3322331/me-book-2-romance-novelette), and i decided to travel for a party I had been invited for that I had previously turned down. Heck, I was in a celebratory mood. Long story short, I got down at Sagamu junction on the Lagos Ibadan express where my friend was meant to pick me up. Before I knew it, I had a machete to my throat. I got robbed by about half a dozen robbers. They took my phone, wallet, everything. Guess what happened in the last chapter of the story I had just completed? The main character in the book had escaped a lynching by some goons, but they later caught up with him on the express, and shot him.

I think I have written too much. lol! Please, I would love comments from fiction writers on what they think of this theory.

dejol88:
Pls where did you buy salmon fish ? How much are they selling?

I live in Ibadan.

I bought at Bodija market in Ibadan...there is a frozen food place where I buy fish from there. Salmon sells for N800 a kilo. It is funny it is cheaper than Titus, which sells for N1,250 per kilo, but I prefer Salmon.

They didn't have Salmon the last time I went two days ago. I guess the lockdown is somehow affecting how they get the fish.

This was a long read, a very long one..

Dapo went through a lot out there, he is now a multi-billioniare.. Am just glad he still has his family intact.

Suicide wasn't the option, Kike should have just moved to a different country like Dupe and start all over, am sure she would have found genuine love..

RIP to Mr. Cole. Until his death,he was a good man..

KAYO, I can't help but notice how your writing has improved after reading this story, believe me, you are doing well and will continue doing well..

BRAVO KAYO..

Thanks. Yeah, even though I posted this on Nairaland in 2016, I actually wrote it 11 years ago (2009), so I'm sure my writing has improved since then.

Thanks for taking time to read and comment on it.

The kids of this 21st century are super smart, they can sense everything and anything. They'll even tell you before it happens, you can imagine Toluwani, lol..

BRAVO KAYO
THANKS FOR THIS ONE.. AM GOING TO READ THAT “IN THE WORLD OF THREE WOMEN“

"This very mistake is what I keep saying, what if the test results are not so correct but we're recording new cases for people who only have fever.. "

This is so true. Let's just pray people don't get misdiagnosed.

And yeah, "In The World of Three Women" is my longest story ever ...I hope you enjoy it.

Romance › Re: Why Do Guys Lose Interest When A Lady Acts Interested In Them? by kayo80(m): 1:53am On May 02, 2020

Zoie:
The average Nigerian man suffers from an extremely weak self esteem that needs to stay constantly bloated to stay functional.
That's why they chase after ladies who treat them like shi.t and avoid ladies who show them love. The hunt makes them happy. The thrill of having to constantly woo a woman makes them feel good. Makes them feel she is better than the one who shows love even without being wooed..even if the former is a retired runs girl.

Just replace "man" with "woman" and your comment would be 100% correct.
