frank you're doing wonderfully well. I wish this particular story made it to the awards thread, then you would have 1 million votes of mine. Too bad it didn't plus i wanna remain neutral.

But always know that your mind and creativity is unique! Am not much of a thriller fan, but you're getting me addicted to this genre.

Welldone

Hajiya menene?

Hmm, following.

Aunty Ishi, welcome to my humble abode first and foremost




but i never said the story had the first person narrative style. Just saying it aptly describes what the genre chick literature is all about.

And aunty glow, also noted that there are other narrative styles to use under the genre, but its basically used with the narrator serving as the protagonist, ie first person.

Chilo's tale too doesn't fall under romance, chick lit, best describes it. Or you don't think so?

Welcome Jodekss

finally someone who types like you and dare i say, writes like you...

Welcome jodekss

Beni oh, all join.

''and it starts with the narrator as your protagonist aka heroine''

^you mean like with the use of the first person narrative only? Well then a nigerian example is Tunde Leye's 'Finding Hubby'. But really i don't think that genre should be limited to that style of narrative alone, i for one ain't so good with that narrative style. Plus, while i was reading abt it online yesterday, i find out that its a nice genre and that its what most stories on this section, written by females fall under. A very good example is Ishi's 'iyawo nylon bag' apt example.


Anyways i think i love that genre because its not totally on the romance level, just have a stint of romance while its major theme is exploring the female protagonist's struggle against the tide that affect her and the modern woman generally. And i love the genre, think am even stick with it.


and Nigerians do 'juju' not jazz or magic oh..

and yes, i live almost all my life in Lagos, reason i have a little knack for the yoruba language.

Yes na, because you're irresistible



you've tried. Kudos to you for a job welldone


enjoy yourself in ur office.

timpaker: Eyah!!!

i don't need your pity. I can take care of myself alright

Enhe Oga mynd, why did you move my bloody poem thread to that deserted area? Why didn't you do so when it was first opened?

I don't really know why. But if i should call it my alter ego, would it suffice?

I find that when i wanna write, i tend to slant towards themes of hurt, hate, resentment, death, pain, sorrow, loneliness etc.

And Now that you've asked, am remnicising and i find that I've not really written any poem on love, my poem note don't contain any of that am sure.


Maybe its because i too don't believe in love and feel its not real.


Or maybe at the end, its because am just one sad lonely girl deep within.



#but i can switch personalities easily, am sure you've found that out for yourself?

suggestions: you guyz should do your research well next time.

the appropiate genre shoul be somewhere around romance and chick literature (i think its a kind of new genre or classification, aint sure about that) but definitely not fantasy.
