@cammax: collaborative story development doesn't work unless all the people involved are serious writers. And even then, what usually happens is that writer A writes a particular section while writer B writes another section and they review each others' work. You need to own your story. ![]() |

I want to reemphasize that ebos is going to hit one of the best stories, if not the best so far in the history of Nigeria. Very interesting, entirely different. Why boasting? Not only that, have again over 20 hot stilts that can be converted into good movies. |

@cammax7, Is a good idea, i have worked with script writers in this kind of project before. There must be time for scriptorium - in which we will all have to sit and plot and build the characters before each writer will go and write their allocated scenes. It will be great anyway, it was great fun for me, we are still expecting the shotting of the soap opera. Hope you can get this started. |

You can't develop your writing talents overnight. |

Seun, this is not happening yet. What do you say you and I, and then anyone else who's interested simply put something together? I'm thinking about a book with 4 or 5 key characters in different parts of the world, all having different experiences. How about this: 6 kids grow up in Naija in the 70s or 80s, I'm thinking Akure or Benin. Their parents work for the government. The economy gradually crumbles, and they disperse to different parts of the world: One moves to PH as his dad secures employment in oil and gas, two or three leave the country (US, UK, SA), one moves to Lagos, and one remains in Akure. They keep in touch, and from time to time their paths cross (The Lagos guy comes back to Futa for uni, and so is reunited with our man in Akure, etc). I'm also thinking a mix of races as well as tribes to spice it up. For starters, let's get a script together with them growing up between late childhood, early teens all the way up to uni for starters. Can we have 6 different people to write this? It's just an adventure for starters, also an excercise. It's an easy way to bring each other up. If we get 6 people ( we need at least one girl to make it work) then I can map out the initial characters, and possibly a framework. Ideas as well will be welcome. I'll be waiting for your input. While this is going to be on a first come first serve basis, seriousness will be appreciated - deadlines will have to be met in order to keep the momentum going. Let's see how this goes. |
