Hello BB READERS, being here just feels just homely. So, lets make it home.

Akiva Goldsman once said Writing is both a pleasure and a struggle. There are times when it’s really aversive and unpleasant, and there are times when it’s wonderful and fun and magical, but that’s not the point. 

Writing is my job. I’m not a believer of waiting for the muse. You don’t put yourself in the mood to go to your nine-to-five job, you just go. 

I start in the morning and write all day. Successful writers don’t wait for the muse to fill themselves unless they’re geniuses. 

I’m not a genius. I’m smart, I have some talent, and I have a lot of stubbornness. I persevere. I'm not the best. I’m just the one still writing.”

I believe in creativity, i believe in  witting, i believe in writers. Although in our movie industry (Nollywood) Writers are seldom appreciated, probably because some of us are to lazy to up our or game or the industry dosent give a shit.

Well, i give a shit, make that two. I believe writers are hardworking, Creative and the heart of a movie, whatever the genre.

So, we writers especially in Nollywood need to step up for real. we need to stop the whole "Rich boy marrying a village nobody/ wicked uncle killing everyone and gets struck by the gods" shit. There's more to being creative than that.

By heaven's grace i am one of you, i know it's not easy sitting all night straining your eyes,  murdering your keyboard and over-working your brain. but whatever worth doing is worth doing well. We can do better as Screen-writers. 

oh common, we can. I can and i am working towards it, i pray you do too.

Let's help the industry, let's help ourselves, our careers because like it or not it is business, and we strive to make it.

Erica Jong once said Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark places where it leads.   So Read, Research, ask questions, be patient, Write from your head and re-write that piece of crab  from your heart until  it becomes a masterpiece. and there isn't no master piece without a Master right??

So goodluck and Remember "there's no limit to what you can achieve in life so long you have God" quote me on this one...

Happy reading.
