I had written this story weeks ago, but just published it on Monday. So, who better to tell than you guys? 😀
Stay in Berlin is a short story set almost entirely in (yup, you guessed right) Berlin, Germany. Here is the synopsis: read more…
Embracing Solitude is the Writer’s Way
I started writing seriously in 2012 (last year), after a very long break. One of the things I quickly discovered, apart from the fact that I love writing stories in my handwriting, is the fact that writing is a very solitary experience. read more…
Nollywood Indie Short Film: When Fishes Drown
I found out about the AfriNolly Short Film Competition on Google +, and was thrilled when I finally got an opportunity to watch the finalists’ entries. They were all so different in the stories they told and the methods used to tell those stories. And I have to admit, it was a welcome change to the typical Nollywood movies. read more…
7 Beautiful Ankara Aso-Ebi Styles from Pinterest
We are down to the last 4 months of the year. Can you believe it? Where did the year go?
Anyway, this time of the year is usually filled with a lot of events. If you’re looking for styles to sew for your aso-ebi for the events planned for this year, you need to check out Pinterest. I bet you won’t be disappointed.
I picked a few of the styles that particularly caught my eye. Here they are, in no particular order:
8 Mystery and Suspense Book Covers You Must See
I came across Dorothy Sayers‘ books sometime last year, and she is a great mystery writer. But, what initially caught my eye was not her writing, but the book covers for her ‘Lord Peter Wimsey’ series. One look at the covers and I knew it was the same amateur gentleman detective that played a prominent role in all of them. Once you see the covers, you’ll know what I mean.
Each cover is really simple, with a single colored background and a specific male attire on it. The clothes look like scrap book pieces, and I just love the simplicity of the concept. Plus they look like the sort of clothes a well-dressed gentleman would wear. What woman doesn’t like a well-dressed man? 🙂
Although, there are more than 8 books with Lord Peter Wimsey, I picked my favorite 8 covers. Of all the 8 covers, my absolute favorite one (if there is such a thing) would be the cover for “The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club.” That polka-dot bow-tie just did it for me. Which one(s) do you like?

If Your Brain was a Typewriter
We all know the brain is a computer, but imagine this: What if you literally needed no hands to type, but as the words came to mind, your brain could somehow transcribe them all to paper without you moving a finger? Quite literally. read more…
Flash Fiction: The Gift of Crabs
Jimi twirled the pen in his hand, gazing intently at the woman in front of him.
“Sade, how long have we known each other?” he asked suddenly.
“One year,” she answered hesitantly.
“And how long have we been dating?”
“Six months,” she replied a bit faster this time.
