dont b short sighted. Step by step... 1000 might b a token, by a mountain to some...al fingers are not equal. Mind, we don't need all d money to start-up. Just a token to take us out. We have many other ways of revenue generations, ask uniquesty, like advert placement on our books e.t.c. Dnt 4get, but incase u do...little drop of rain makes an ocean. Ve never met u all, even christiana eke, so let c how we can trust her wit dis little.

Pls guys bear with me...thank you Emyo, you are amazing, uniquesty, you have proven that you are a virtuous woman, pls keep up with the spirit of success & greatness in you. At Diamondwriter, Dubemkelly, collins, etc, etc...you guys rock...I am glad this thread is still alive irrespective of my absence; shows this great association will survive even without some of us. Once again, I want to express my profound joy with each and every contributor on this thread who showed concern and willingness to be a part of this great movement, pls do not be discouraged by anything whatsoever, be steadfast and we will smile at the end. For the zonal meetings, pls zonal coordinators, you guys need to be briefing us on your preparations...South-West zone, pls you guys should step up cos of recent, I have not been hearing from you guys, what's going on? We cannot give up when we have gone this far, that will be bad for us, pls and pls step up your ambition and faith in this. No one tree can make a forest, pls guys show up. Remember the D-day, 28th July, being Saturday, I hope you guys will be there? I urgently need two volunteers from the south-west to work with me in finalizing our zonal meeting venue, pls if you know anyone at YABATECH or UNILAG, whether a student or a staff, pls let me know so that we can approach the person soonest.

The short stories I read here are good men...but I hope you guys still have some reserved for NAYWP? Lolz....pls o...no finish am o, copywriters full ground o...lolz....just saying, keep it coming guys....nice job.....thanks guys, I hope you guys are having a wonderful time out there?

candid, what u need now is a venue. Even if u are six. A venue, u need an agreed venue. Worry not, because if after a succesful zonal meeting-gathering of short stories, poems, ideas, suggestions, constitions e.t.c. We wil have a hand ful of options. So even if it just only u, Rep ur zone well. Youths wil beg to join later. How problem is that we want to carry everybody along and do things inform of an association, i tell u, if Dailynews is bouyant enough or could join one or two enterprenue writers here as co-owners and take dis association up as their busines, i swear that wil b better. Than this wil b like this- Them as the owners bear the lost (if they fail) or the gain (if they make it), enize resources together to advertise on NTA network news, SUN dailys e.t.c for young writers, put a price tag to each short stories and poem submitted by the writers, go ahead to publish it as their own company books with the writers name on each story, decides on ROYALTIES to b awarded to writers, finanly organise a writing competetion wit entry fee for all writers so as to get the best write-up to publish and promot. To get cash in dis kind of association wil b difficult. *just sugesting* peaceworld and sunical am just *suggesting* o

u have a wonderful suggestion but u are putting ideas into the head of our sick oga. I stil believe he had a dream which he shared wit us and we all accepted it. Dearie, lets go wit the initial plans and other things will be added unto it. I lyk ur plans nd i lyk ur thinking. I'm glad we have someone like you. Dailynews, when we must have stabilized, i suggest we initiate a creative writing academy. Students wil attend classes 4 a period of tym, or anyhow we'l do it. It wil promote our club nd generate fund. Hope u've recovered fully

Re: Young Authors of Nigeria (YAN) -Join Now! by Emyo(m): 7:19pm On Jul 11, 2012
Uniquexty: I find dis realy embarrasin bt necessary 2 share dis experience of my 1st date dat ended even b4 it started. To be candid, i wonder what i was thinking when i agreed to his crazy scheme. Wel, watchin those succulent lips as they said d words 'Darling,i would like us to spend the next weekend at a friends place. What do you think?', i knew automatically that 'NO' was not an option. Is this not the Daddy's girl; i know you wil ask and to that i say, you've not met my lying tongue (or to be more spiritual, convincing tongue).
'Daddy, there's this seminar that i'l have to present in school next week and i need to borrow some materials from Sandra to enable them catch up.' i heard myself telling my father.
'Go ahead. But make sure you are home before 7:00pm' Jeez, my heart skipped a beat.
'Daddy,the seminar involves all my coursemates. Sandra would also make use of the materials.'
'Then what are you saying?' he was getting worried
'i'l sleep over. It wil be a joint reading.' popcy paused from his reading. His eyes escaped from his glasses and peered at me. Instantly the hip-hop players in my heart came alive.
'Do you stil have your keys?'
'ofcourse dad'
'dats k. Go ahead and prepare for your seminar. You know that i want the best for you. But you may not meet me at home when you come back. I'l be leaving for a meeting in port harcourt.' I gave him the your-not serious look. He smiled at me and said 'Be careul'. For the first time in months i said 'i love you dad'. Smiles took over my face. At that moment, Delilah would be very proud of my skills.
It was 8:00pm. I heard Frank driving into the compound. Yes, i've heard about girls being late for dates, But before he could come round to the door, i was standing there, smiling sheepishly and good to go. He looked me over and said 'you look handsomly beautiful'. Did i mention earlier that i was carrying a new hairdo? I just stood there, smiling and speechles.
We drove silently. I was too excited to notice the silence. When we got to the house, he pulled over and i jumped out of the car and headed upstairs. I opened the door to the bedroom, Holy Mary full of Grace! George his friend was standing there, obviously, he just came out from the bathroom. What i saw is better imagined. I guess he just did not expect us at that time, not to tink of seeing me first. With a speed that the lightening wouldn't dare contend with, i dashed out of the room, stumbling on Frank. I ran straight to the fridge and calmed my nerves with a glass of water.
Few minutes later, my cell phone rang. I picked it and heard frank's voice. 'you can come in now. The coast is clear' 'Is that what you call what i saw?' i was furious and the truth of the matter is that i'm coastphobia. It became clear to me then dat the coast was just begining to gather.
About an hour later, George did not show any signs of leaving. Rather we all settled for a talk on politics. My father's advice on being careful was highly recommended now. This was my nightmare. I thank God for 2go and facebook. If you know what happens in a normal date, you would have noticed that none of that was going to be my portion.
I woke up d next morning and found Frank starring at me. I noticed he had a silly smile on his lips. This could just be it.
'where is George?' i had to make sure the coast was clear.
'he went to the Gym' his voice was mischevious.
'you knw wot happens when lovers are left on their own' he was telling me.
'hmmmmmm' my eyes became dreamy. He came closer. When the world was just about to revolve, my cell phone rang. It was my neighbour. The operation-water-the-city had stormed our area and worked on our water reserviour. Holy crap! We've not had water for two whole weeks and i knw i had left my bathroom tap on, incase the water started running. If what my neighbour told me was true, then my house was flooding.
We drove back the same way we came, the only difference was the intensity of the silence. Just as expected, the tap was on and the water was travelling down the stairs.
What was that? I peeped through the window and found dad driving in. Few minutes later,
'CHRISTIE....' He screamed. I looked down from the balcony and found dad on the floor. He slipped, d water had got to him. 'GOSH' i called back. You know what, i was grounded for one year.
the concept and storyline is okay. But i tel u, nobody can edit that, except the editor want to make a foul of ur idea or use ur storyline to frame-out somthing worth. Try again dear, u hmmmye
