There are some Authors that once you read their books, there's no going back until you've read all or most of their works.
Examples for me are Sidney Sheldon and Francine Rivers.
Which Author has such hold on you?

The secret lives of Baba Segi's wives is a subtle mockery of the patriarchy. It's one of the reasons I love it

This year I decided to read more of African books and although it's trauma upon misogyny on one part, the African stories being told, the beauty of the culture, the languages and the people and the rich history has me glued.
Which is the best African novel you have read so far?

Being a writer doesn't make it easier for me to express strong emotions in words. I'll do it anyways but its often not as easy as people think it is.

Yes it's very good. Baba segi was so traditional and he prided himself on being a man, being able to marry so many wives and build a large family. Only to find out he is wayyy less of a man, in the most brutal way.

The first time I got paid to write, I was on my way to withdraw my last 2k lol.
I was in uni at the time.
On my way, I saw this fellow student (I knew her) who needed help writing something due for submission in an hour.
She was so distraught.

To be a reader is to constantly to fall in love with fictional characters, to share in their stories and feel their emotions, to dwell in delusion and to travel to many places from your comfort of your room
It's so beautiful, I absolutely recommend 😍

Let's talk about Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi. (A kind of book Review, No spoilers)
The story excites me because it's a solid African book that's actually different from the regular female trauma, patriarchal bias based books we normally get. 1/3
I really enjoyed my first read of the month. I'm going to have to talk about it here

Little gestures from people like good wishes, the act of sharing, giving encouragements and love is really what humanity is about. These things are so basic yet so difficult to come by.
It's why you should cherish those who remember to check on you.

I blinked twice and silently rejected it cos let that day not come when I stop writing.

And then you can't say exactly what Baker said becos that is plagiarism.
The most annoying part of academic writing is knowing the thing, but looking for some other paper to say it for you. You can't just say bread is soft, you have to say it according to Baker (2001) that bread is soft.
At the same time, you can't quote Baker 2001 because it's…

With all my experience as a writer, I still get nervous when I get new jobs. Imposter syndrome is real.
I had always wondered if my work was any good. I wouldn't even let you glance through it.
When I got my first client, I was uneasy about delivering the work. I had no mentor too
Eventually, I delivered my work and got warm feedback. That was enough to boost my confidence.

Projection of thoughts like fear on other people is a real thing, a silent killer of dreams and abilities.
The closest people to us do this often without us realizing.
I wrote about how to recognize and challenge it here:
Your Thoughts or Their Feelings?
“People outwardly project their innermost insecurities.”
medium.com
People would always try to project their fear on you.
Don't let them
