No one is more subservient than a writer who has an unpublished manuscript. All they do is submit. (Get it?)

Farming, a functional age-grade system (otu ọgbọ), the traditional practice of marrying a maiden without treating her like a commodity through outrageous bride prices, Uli body adornment, and the wearing of waist beads and anklets without judgment d.g.z

My daughter writes stories and over time she has accumulated quite a lot in different notepads and books and sheets. Recently, I started paying attention. I would pick her writings at random and read and offer some advice. Today, I was telling her about showing her reader what the character is feeling/doing as against telling the reader herself. I asked: If you come out of your house in the early morning and see a ghost standing by the door, what would be your first reaction? She didn’t think twice when she said she’d run. But that’s not true. It was a perfect opportunity to teach her the “art of showing” in storytelling. The writer’s imagination is trained to be flexible - to imagine all plausible scenarios. If one came out of their house and saw a ghost by the door, they would not run immediately. They would freeze, perhaps collapse, perhaps scream, perhaps raise their hands as if in surrender then begin to walk back, calling their mother or father or the name of Jesus, then run. The first reaction would not be to run. That’s how to build a believable story. Image from @BookBossNG

Writing is one of the loneliest things you can do. You sit alone with your thoughts and try to make something coherent out of the noise. You rewrite the same sentence seven times. You delete a paragraph you spent an hour on because it's true but it isn't right.
