I am really in need of a route to explore my craft and also establish myself. We sincerely don't value writers nor even embrace any written content in this country. We definitely need to come up with a profound strategy to explore our creative craft, share ideas and bring up suggestions about making something out of this craft. |

Nairaland is blessed to have so many gifted writers. I have followed this forum for a long time but only recently stumbled open the literature section, trust me, my life has not remained the same. I have read and followed so many beautiful piece of work like Black Maria, Countless, Tradition, The Devil Wears Okrika, Beauty and the mechanic and many many more. I am honoured to have communicated with these gifted writers through the reading of their works. I hope that somehow, someday, the gifted writers will get a reward for their gifts to humanity here on earth. But until then, permit me to enjoy your works here. Kudos to Seun and the moderators. God bless our writers. 3 Likes |

kayo80: Peace people. People don't value books anymore. In fact, they'd really binge watch TV or films for weeks than invest two days on a novel. Reading culture is dead. To succeed as an author, you need a little bit of luck or connection to supplement effort. Yes, Nigerians don't really read, but someone like NaijaSingleGirl was able to capture a lot of Nigerians with her humor and controversial subject matters. But since she released her book (29 and single or something like that) two years ago, the book has sold just 800 copies on Okadabooks. I was really disappointed in her sales, judging from her popularity and all the promo she did before the book was released, I was expecting it to have sold at least a couple of thousands of copies. @underbolded, how many percent of Nigerians are regular users of this forum? First, Nigerians hate reading. Secondly, ebooks are not really popular in Nigeria. So, it may not be a good idea to invest your effort here if you want to sell significant quantity of books. Thirdly, I think her book is too expensive. Readers may not want to invest in a book they are unsure they'll enjoy. An author has to convince readers they'll enjoy her book. That is why it is difficult to succeed with a debut standalone book. Not every author is J.K Rowling. Most only begin to see success after releasing multiple books. Let's also not forget that most Nigerians like free stuff, they cannot appreciate the effort expended in writing a book. Lastly, as I have stated, Nigerians do not read. Any author serious about selling books may want to consider another market aside okada books. I have been to the site, checked a couple of free-books but was put off by poor writing. This hurts the reputation of the site in the eyes of serious readers. Don't leave your eggs in one basket, try out popular international e-book stores. kayo80: I simply go on a walk, usually in the mornings. I keep pondering till I figure out how to proceed the plot. Just a simple, solitary and quiet walk with no music, no external noise to detract my meditation. I believe at least 80% of us here are adults, so let's not be shy. . I know some writers listen to music, some take alcohol, some smoke something (you know that thing), some have sex or think about sex, some draw energy from memories of a breakup or a sad event in their lives, some get driven by the thought of money and fame at the end of the line, some watch movies in the genre they write in, etc.. What is your own source of inspiration for writing? What inspire me to write is my love of stories, my passion for storytelling. As for my story ideas, my source of inspiration is a mixed bag. Past events in my life, my current personal struggles does inspire my ideas. Rock and alternative music, TV, movies, video games, novels and their cover arts do inspire me with ideas. Sometimes even a picture or a quote could inspire me with ideas that may fit or not fit within the context of my current book. 2 Likes |
