Dear Jupiter

Dearest Jupiter,It's been awhile and I don't even know where to start. A lot has happened in the intervening years, you can say I've grown up. I'd like to think I'm wiser and smarter. Mama has passed away, I heard about it on the grapevine. Well actually, I got a letter from Yinka asking me to come home for the funeral. I didn't go, apart from the fact that I never want to set foot in that village again, I've seen enough death and lost too many to want to put myself through the drama of her funeral. Not that I grieved for her, her actions are too indelibly seared into my consciousness for me to feel anything but acrimony. I'm begining to think I need therapy.Well moving on swiftly, I found the journal I wrote to you and decided to publish it. Don't ask me why, I read it [...]

Dual personality

Before I start blogging as Lola, I just have to say. My best friend has told me that I'll never make a great criminal and she's right. I just so happened to mention that I had a blog and she went in search and found it (Not this one, I'm still keeping it on the down low). Not only that, I pretended to be someone else on someones blog, only to forget I had to sign in to write my comments. So I'm googling away and clicking on links only for it to lead right back to this blog. Yikes, I'm currently hanging my head, absolutely mortified. I'm not going to rant, just mention a conjoined word. SELF-PUBLISHING. Yikes, yikes and yikes again. :-) Tomorrow I'm Lola. :-)

I’m so lame

Well, just done a quick skim of a previous post and I seem to be repeating myself. I guess the stigma attached to self-publishing has burrowed under my skin and is releasing it's poison slowly. One day I'll wake up dead.

I’m googled

Can't get over google. Just googled myself because I was bored and wanted to see what would come up, when low and behold, there I am. Clare, from the Friday Project has put Imagine This front and centre. It's her book of the week, which is totally amazing.She mentions a certain individual, who I called and told me he wasn't going to review Imagine This. According to him, self-published books can't possibly be any good... hmm let's think about that. Someone has just whispered JP Taylor in my ear, then there's Jill Paton Walsh who was listed for the Booker. Then there are the greats, Mark Twain, V. Woolf, Rudyard Kipling and James Joyce to mention a few. Anyway, no more whingeing from me, just got to do it and try and create an awareness, start a campaign. I've had an epiphany, a light bulb has gone off in my brain, [...]
