LiteratureThe Smell Of Dead Bodies-new Book Alert by TylerWarr(op): 1:36am On Aug 14, 2022
Good readers of NL.

Specifically, those of us in love with reading fiction.

When was the last time you read a Nigerian short story and you enjoyed it?

Think about that for a minute. If your answer is "I can't remember," or "It's been a while," then I'm talking to you right now.

As most of you are aware, I'm a copywriter, but I also write fiction. In fact, I started writing fiction a long time before I even heard of copywriting.

This month, I achieved a lifelong goal, and I'd like to share it with you.

I published my first book:

A short story collection titled "The Smell of Dead Bodies."

Odd title, right?

Let me tell you the little story behind that title.

When I was 13, My neighborhood was rife with a lot of stealing and petty theft, the kind where people stole foodstuffs or mobile phones.

Many of these thieves were caught and burnt, often in very public places like road intersections. A justice system devised by the community in the absence of swift police response.

One day, on my way back home from school, I saw a corpse lying in the middle of the road, a thief burnt to a crisp, his skin blacker than the coals of Enugu and his teeth glaring in a deathly smile because the fire had burnt off his lips. I think he stole Garri.

Over the next three days, The body decomposed under the blazing sun, and the smell was horrendous.

Now Imagine a 13-year-old school kid who had to ply this particular road every day to get to school and imagine the terrible odor that school kid had to experience as he passed that road for a week.

I remember that corpse rotting on that road day after day till his hands fell over at the shoulders and his feet at the ankles. It was sickening.

The question I kept asking every day as I struggled to breathe on my journey to school was "Why is everyone acting like it's normal to have a dead decomposing body on this road and everyone's just skirting by?"


That experience led to the title and the core theme of this book: I poke holes in the hypocrisy of regular folks, and I tell dark stories about dark consequences. if you're a happy-ending kind of person, this is not for you.

but if you want to read stories that are wild but also super relatable and well-written, then THE SMELL OF DEAD BODIES is just what you need this weekend.

I want you to have the first 3 chapters of this book for FREE, and I want you to be the judge if this book is as awesome as I say it is.

Are you ready?

When you're done, don't forget to come back here and leave a review.

Don't say I did nothing for you.

Enjoy.

BusinessA Note To All Tired Nigerian Freelancers. by TylerWarr(op): 9:53pm On Mar 09, 2022
First, how're you?

Really, how're you? Gist me in the comments.

I know the Nigerian government is not making it easy for you to make the money you need to sustain yourself.

I get it.

I remember one time I lost a copywriting gig because the company only paid via PayPal and as you well know, PayPal is banned in Nigeria.

Can you even imagine that?�

Do you also rememeber that time Transferwise stopped operating in Nigeria? I lost $2k.

I wanted to die.

But did I?

Nah, one thing I believe is; the only time I'll give up is when I'm dead!

I've tried oh, my guy, I have tried as a freelancer.

What have I not done?

Subscribing to tons of job emails that promise to send me high-paying writing jobs and when those jobs come, it's either it's an america-only job or they want to kill me with workload.

There was this one time this Filipino employer wanted me to write 30 high quality articles every week while paying me 40k Naira/Month ��

You dey whyne mehuh

If I start telling you all the stories of my experience as a freelancer, LinkedIn servers will overheat.

But is there a way for a freelancer to climb above all of this nonsense challenges and start making a decent living?

Of course there is.

You just don't know it yet.

Even the Christian holy book said "my people perish for lack of knowledge"

If you're hungry and I hide chicken inside a plate in the kitchen without telling you, what are your chances of finding that juicy chickenhuh

Omoh, me I like chicken and it's my life mission to find chicken and enjoy it.

And, let me not lie, the Chicken of making dollars is sweet!

But how did I even do it?

Like I did I get to the point where I get jobs without applying?

1. Positioning myself so the best opportunities can find me.

2. Leveling up my skill to the point where any employer knows I'm worth every dollar! (Can you say this for yourself?)

There's more but this post is getting longer so I'll talk about them in details subsequently.

Lol.

Anyways, please take care of yourself and don't let this country run you down.

There's always a way, and if you're willing to find it, work for it and apply everythimg you learn, you'll realize how easy it is to make money as a freelancer.

Cheers.
Triumph.
