I want to write well. I want to write better. It could be a task that I find hard to do. A task that requires a lot of thought, creativity (for it to be fun) and hardwork when you've got a project to work on.
During the Fidelity Bank Creative writing workshop, Aminatta Forna asked me a question when we had our one-on-One interview.
'What are you working on?'
I was dazed. What should I be working on? I thought.
Here's a guy who just loved writing about his day. A journal she called it when I told her. So lets put it that way.
Here's a guy who loves keeping a journal and it happens he saw an advert. He wrote in and booked a space in the non-fiction class. Hmm.
She would later tell me to write 'A memoir of my father' when i mailed her some days after the workshop. I thought she was imposing. I wasn't thinking of that and you know what. I didn't do it then. Now, I'm working on it. A gift it would be for his 60th Birthday.
It is a task. But when broken down, and focused on, it could be the most amazing piece you could have (for keeps).
