Welcome to the Streak

 So, I'm here finally. This blog will help me to stay focused and committed. I want to be accountable to myself and this is my way of doing so. 

With this blog, I should be able to pen down my thoughts on writing, new trends, author's tips and news, and other random ramblings. 


It begins with November. It's something I hope I can keep doing for a really really long time

Completed a short story ghostwriting gig

I spent the early hours of the morning mopping the house. With the pseudo-harmattan, there were ash remains on the verandah and it had found the way into the living room. After that, I showered and then tried to put on the writing cap. It didn’t flow. I had a deadline to meet and words didn’t want to come. It wasn’t even the main work. I wanted to do the outline so I could go on a stretch when I begin. It wasn’t until late in the afternoon that I told myself I’d just write. That’s when the fountain started flowing. It reminded me of what Stephen Kings said about amateur writers waiting for inspiration ‘while the rest of us get up and do the work.’ So, I wrote. It was a slow process. That’s quite understandable as I haven’t been writing fiction in a while. I believe I’ll pick up speed as I progress. I want to get this posted before 12am.i might come back to add more content.  So, I ended up writing 2500+ words today.

Traveling again

 I was on the road for most of the day. I left the house by 8am. The bus didn't get filled on time. So, I had to wait until about past 11am. The journey was fast but dull.  I chewed gums almost the whole day. I was awake for most of the journey. However, just the few minutes I shut my eyes proved crucial as I missed the turn I was supposed to come down and had to pay another fare (10% of original fare) to return.  I will leave my parent's early tomorrow. I have article works to take care of. I'm barely 20% done.  It's 11:08 pm now. I need to wake up by 6:00am. There's so much to do, I don't even know if I should try to stay awake.  My mouth hurts from the places I bit my tongue while chewing the gum. I discovered chewing gums helps one stay awake. I wonder if I can begin using it. Are there other ways to stay awake at night? Maybe I should Google it immediately I finish this update.  In other news, I've finished the book I've been working on for almost t...

Articles. Lots of them

 Article works keep coming in and to think I'm getting peanuts from them. It's time to take a stand. Don't you think so? I should get back to writing for myself.  A new title to write about just came and I haven't even written the last two. Pathetic! That's my thoughts. I should get over this immediately.  I will write this last badge and then, focus solely on getting some book writing done.  I'm at book 5 of Harry Potter. Thought you'd never ask. It brings back so many memories. Got to go now!
