Not just write but to write amazingly well.

Am an avid reader, I read anything that can be read regardless of it content. World war journals, Hitler’s biography, biblical manuscripts and many more as long as it can be read I will read it.

 when I read a very good piece most of it is left in me, and I cannot help but wonder whether some day I will be able to write pieces as good as those. This kind of writing leaves me breathless,

bowled over and astonished.

A whole new world is created, moments captured so well, you feel like you are part of it, word play that leaves you questioning not only your grammar but the hope of your existence as a writer.

I envy all those literary geniuses out there who write so effortlessly, so brilliantly that their writing feels like fine smooth silk on your skin. Or like what I would presume your fingers feel when going through the long silky black hair of an Indian woman.

I want to write pieces worth a Nobel peace prize, pieces that will cement my name in history, pieces that my generations will be proud to read and most of all I want to write pieces that will encourage and inspire people to read and write. I hope to be a contribution in the development of a reading culture in Kenya. I believe there are enough people out there with the desire to see a different kind of Kenya of readers and informed youths.

I hope someday, hopefully soon to write pieces that singers will want excerpts from to make songs out of. 

Writing is a talent and art. If it’s not in me as I talent then I will labor tenaciously for it. I will read more, seek counsel from those established writers whom I look up to (big shot writers out there this girl is open and willing to learn), and write as much as I can.  I will write so much that you readers will have no other option but to read my work and you will concur that I will have improved.

Sometimes I can feel the words coming but the moment quickly passes before I can get them out of my head and type them out. My elusive genius has been especially elusive of me this past years but I hope to lure her back to me soon.

So until I write a piece that gives my skin goose bumps, bear with me my good reader. Walk with me in this quest of find my literary prowess to give you the kind of writing you deserve. The kind of writing that will go with you for days, haunting you at your work place and in your sleep and in those quiet moments you seek solace wondering if you will find another pieces as good.
