Episode 1, Dear Obajimi: Morenike’s First Letter is One of Many
Welcome to the last week of March! Dear Obajimi was published as an eBook at the beginning of this month? Today, I’ll be sharing the first letter, which is also the first chapter titled One of Many.  If you haven’t read the story, it’s still available for free.
Here’s the summary:
After the mysterious disappearance of her husband, a woman writes a series of letters in a desperate attempt to make sense of the calamity of a missing spouse. These letters provide insight into the life the couple lived before Obajimi’s disappearance and the hurricane of changes that occur while the Police investigate. By the last letter, will she discover what happened to her husband?
Now, let’s see why Morenike, the writer, captions her first letter, One of Many.
Picture Quote: F. Scott Fitzgerald
Happy Friday (or Saturday, depending on your time zone). Â I hope you had a fulfilling week. Â To end the week, I decided to share this picture quote by the famous novelist, F. Scott Fitzgerald:
Writing is like Pumping Water After Midnight
Growing up in Lagos changes the way you view the world. For me, it has fundamentally colored and shaped the way I analyze things. So, it’s only natural that a discussion on writing will start from an experience set nowhere else but Lagos.
