Write out for a little fun!

I had a lot of talk about suitable places for writing with a friend, and I pointed it out to him that for me it doesn’t matter where I ‘am. But what matters might be what I’m writing about. It was exciting to see which place better than the other, usually on weekends I write at any star bucks or any other coffee shop.

This time, we didn’t only go to swim at the beach, but also we both managed to get words written before sunset!

I love experimenting new things!

I don’t mind to write with other people around.

It was actually a good thing, because while we were writing it was extremely interesting looking at the wide-sweeping view of the sea. I’m repeatedly surprised that, I didn’t spend a lot of time staring at the sea……lol….. though it was an inspiring beauty.



So I have a question for you;

 
1. Where do you write?

Meet and write

Yesterday happened to be another  interesting evening at  Pullman hotel. Thanks to you all who spared that little time from your busy schedules to come and attend the meet up.


It’s always interesting to hear how other writers go about their writing.



Hope you don’t miss out on the next one and appreciation to Nancy & Will for choosing the location.

Twenty four and counting!!!

I turned twenty four on Sunday. I was going to do this post on EASTER with several photos of my birthday party, but instead i have preferred to reserve them for another post…. I got a lot of amazing gifts, thanks Liz, and the great advice for life thanks to Mr. Japie Uys…… I don't think you realize what you mean to me, not the slightest clue.





Anyway; most of may  have noticed a surge in the number of posts I have made so far this year! It’s just a commitment to blogging, but as well having what to write about.....lol.


Well! I'm now twenty four! *literary…I haven’t felt twenty four yet, maybe I will feel that old, tonight…? I’m planning on having a wonderful year, filled with excitement and adventure, lots of reading ,writing and driving my new wheels!



I wish the same to you all my friends!

Blessed and Happy Easter

A bright wish to share the joy of Easter time with your friends and family.

To write a book in 4 days? Imagine, the book you have been trying to write for months

I liked this movie LIMITLESS in which Bradley Cooper plays Eddie Morra, a burnt-out writer whose life is at a dead-end.

With a writer’s block, can’t even type a word on the white blank screen, can’t afford the rent bills anymore and to make things worse his girlfriend drops him. Did it mean the end of the world to Eddie?

Nope! All of that changes after he gets chance meet his former brother-in-law, whom he had not seen in years. There is a subplot of murder but it over shadowed when Eddie get a pill that enables him to access all of the brain. The pill is an experimental drug called NZT-48.



It was a fascinating movie throughout and I felt this was an original concept.

On writing...

I’m writing a police procedural in the next new chapters—but it doesn’t imply that my book is a thriller. It’s required by the plot ………… I have got it already mapped on paper before I get to phone the local police station. My creative mind wants to write one for the first time as I have never done it before. My debut book didn’t require one, so that’s why I never got to write it. But this time it part of the story….. On the other hand I feel nervy about it.


Why nervy…?

First of all, I have to book an appointment with local police detective, go to the police assuming the appointment is scheduled there and not forgetting the time he/she’s going to spend answering your questions.

I’m sure that will be a lot of WHAT IF questions arising…..did I mention the likes of; (What the Killer turns into a dinosaur when the detective is still on the crime scene……?)

I think it will be fun. Asking the detective all those what if, questions. At some point they’re quite irritating on my side I don’t really like them. But, I can’t avoid them especially when I’m teaching students tend to raise them often in the class.

Hope to write another post after meeting the detective…….
