A Lineage of Writers in the family?


Who Knows?

Yesterday, Marissa's article was published in the Herald. A lawyer by profession, she was adept in the craft of writing from a young age. At four, she used to write poems to me on little pieces of paper, and whenever I got back late from work, I'd know she missed me when I saw a paper on the kitchen table with "For Mummy, written in bold, and at the bottom, "I Love You, From Marissa." Brings back great memories! The bookshelves in the house have overflowed, we have given away boxes of books, and still, she comes back with two new books each month. I don't know where she gets the time to read, given her work schedule. She loves book fairs and the like. This time, she visited a charity home and wrote an article on it. Here's the article and a photo of her with my mum, one Christmas. Someday, I will tell you the story of how I drove all the way up north with both my girls in tow, one aged 5 and the other 3.

Have a good day. Don't forget to read my newest publication, detailed below, The Children of the Sun. You'll love the story.

The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly

The good has a clean, polished veneer, and the bad is deeply offensive and selfish. Ugliness follows hypocrisy - an impeccably dressed human...

The Faction Revolution Modules 1-3 (A revolutionary method of storytelling)

The Faction Revolution Modules 1-3 (A revolutionary method of storytelling)
Fiction writing, the traditional way, can feel too distant, while traditional non-fiction writing can feel too mundane, almost boring to the readers. This is where Faction is the bridge, providing the legitimacy of facts with an emotional touch to a narrative. In this module, we move beyond "contemporary storytelling" into "Truth+Fiction, a revolutionary storytelling method that has worked for me to tell my stories. An unquestionable approach to adding facts within a fiction genre will allow you to preserve a veritable record of human history within a framework that is easy to consume and imagine. Faction is a pragmatic approach to a world losing its grip on historical truth. It has turned into a connective arc that ensures history remains alive, vibrant, believable, and, most importantly, relevant to the people of tomorrow. It is another way of ensuring that historical events and other factual information are widely read and disseminated.
