1. Short stories can actually pave the way for your career. I used to be so into writing my debut novel until I decided to focus on shorts. 2. Sometimes, schedules change and instead of getting published in six months, you could wait as much as two years from acceptance to pub.

Yes, it is what we want to read and write. Many of Nigeria's problems are told through speculative fiction too. There is no one way to do these things. It also helps us imagine a future in which things are actually working and we aren't dependent on the west. 🥰

This fascination many Nigerian writers have for speculative fiction: Is it truly what they want to write and read? Or is it semi-dictated from the West? Has the latter quietly informed the former? Nigeria is kicking our ass but you are writing about malformed aliens in Onitsha.

It's much better than just PayPal. I usually don't rant on twitter but today, it hit me. I've had to pass many open calls because they only pay through PayPal. And I'm sure I'm not the only one. I really wish things get better with time. Much love♥️. Naomi

I tend to have MCs who aren't as active as they should be. My endings almost always need to be revised a couple of times. Sometimes I focus more on worldbuilding than emotional depth. Sometimes, it's the other way around.

Writers, tell me your weakness. Mine is too much setting exposition. I’m learning to use less words to say more.

Lately, I've been thinking deeply about my life and why I do what I do. Why I write the stories I write and why I am the way I am. It's amazing how you constantly need to figure yourself out. And then you evolve and figure yourself out again. Does it ever end?

Only payed through PayPal. And up until today, I haven't been able to withdraw the cash. I wasn't bothered actually. It wasn't a lot of money and the ecstacy of publishing a story was more than enough for me. But then, what if I needed the money? What if I needed that

My story- Enitan, published at Lolwe! @Lolwe_ It was a tedious but refreshing process. I wish this type of editing happened in every magazine.

Forget pay now, has a lit mag ever edited your work so well you felt it grow in your hands? That feeling is matchless. You go back again to reading the work and noting how it could never have thrived so elsewhere. Editing is a major gift lit mags must be praised specially for.

Just saw a question on Quora. "Do all Nigerians live in huts?" I was shocked by the question and began to wonder what people think of us. That we live in huts and take a dip at the stream?

I always thought I couldn't write literary fiction, that it wasn't my genre. But this is a major confidence boost. This story is so beautiful, it captures the pureness and innocence of a child. The character has now become so real to me. Which is so sweet.🥰❤️
