We wouldn't want you to go on energy saving mode around that time o.Lol. You have a very good point there. I will check the date and set a reminder on my phone. |

Honestly, the dream part in the first update knocked my plan A off balance. My plan A was simple: when you all complicate this work with your complex settings and plots, I will just wake the main character up from a dream and start the whole plot afresh, with my own style shaa 1 Like |

frank3.16:Well, you somehow did, but it's cool. Gives the next writer more time to prepare. That stuff you posted is...WOW! The plot definitely thickens However, it seems as though you wrote the chapter in haste...some errors were staring at me therein (and you didn't title your chapter). Good work though. |
Re: Nairaland Detection Club by jiraiyas: 12:07pm On Feb 11, 2013 |

Re: Nairaland Detection Club by Oahray: 12:43pm On Feb 11, 2013 |
Nice one frank. Besides the fact that you didn't exactly thicken the plot (more than it already was), and some irregularity in tense used on some occassions, its a nice follow up. Thumbs up! |
Re: Nairaland Detection Club by LarrySun(m): 12:53pm On Feb 11, 2013 |
Let us all remember that he also laid down some pointers for the next writers to work on. |

Re: Nairaland Detection Club by Ishilove: 2:25pm On Feb 11, 2013 |
Not bad Frank, not bad at all. A few points to note, however. When writing, please ensure consistency of tenses. Larry's chapter one had tense consistency, chapter two doesn't. Let subsequent writers endeavour to maintain consistency because anything less than that will make the whole work read shabby. Frank, I also suggest you go back and proof read your work because of the glaring erros, as well as change the tenses to ensure fluidity. Anything worth doing is worth doing well. Can I suggest something? This work is obviously set in Nigeria, Africa. Let us stick to Afrocentric names, or Jewish names e.g John, Jephtah, Salome, Mary etc. I am saying this from the point of view of the average reader. When I listen to the news or read the papers, I don't come across names like Jack or Tracy, I see names like John, Toun, Anike, Chilo, Chiejine, Mukhtarr etc Let the reader be able to connect with the story through familiar names and terms. When I read foreign detective novels, the writers infuse their stories with local colour, and so should we, the young, budding writers. My 50 kobo sha, so its your prerogative to take it with a pinch of salt if you so please. We are all different with our individual styles. I just thought I should make a suggestion. 2 Likes |

Ishilove:Haa redmos? |
Re: Nairaland Detection Club by LarrySun(m): 2:48pm On Feb 11, 2013 |
With the names suggestion, Ishilove has just hit the nail on the occiput. In addition, we shouldn't create characters with too mouthful names. I think our characters shouldn't carry more than three-syllabic names. Names like Ada, Funmi, Uche, Chima, Abigail, Hakeem and Daniel are short and precise (please I've already used these names in my Brand Of Cain work. No need to re-use them). There is quite an oeuvre of names to employ. Thanks. |
