DJ,For a change, my lack of post is not down to my natural laziness. I've been a busy bee and right now I need some shut eye. I'll spill my guts in the morning, or should I say afternoon. Needless to say, the outlook for Imagine This is looking a tad brighter. Nothing major has happened, I just feel more optimistic about it's chances, especially after the slew of positive feedback I've received to date. Bed and sleep beckon.
DJ,Every one I talk to keeps telling me to share this blog with the world. Deep down I know I don't want to, however I know that I have to. When I do, how honest will my musings be? Will I dare to name and talk about those I talk to in my daily struggles.How honest can I be... Okay, I'll think about it some more, then make a decision. In the meantime a quick update.

It's not a novel for me I'm sorry to say. The story is good and original. The writing is okay but it didn't pull me in. I also find the letters device can get a bit limiting after a while. But someone else may feel differently.Below is an extract from the review of Imagine This posted on the Book PedlarI can’t express how good, how utterly amazing, this novel is. The fact that this is Adeniran’s first novel is astounding. There is so much depth here, so much feeling and emotion that it is hard to believe I’m not reading the work of a seasoned writer. Imagine This is pure, unadulterated storytelling and [...]
DJ,Like I said, I can't give up. Got my first review today and it's a brilliant one, I'm beyond ecstatic.
