I
can only speak from personal experience, but separate from anything else that
I've done with my life; one of my greatest achievements has been as a writer. I
started off against all odds. At high school I was laughed at when I said that I
want to be a writer. Maybe it was because I made the statement way back during the
Apartheid era when there wasn't that many opportunities for Coloureds. Today I am a
published author with more than four books and my articles and poems featuring
in countless magazines and websites.
Dear reader, you were
born with talents, gifts or strengths. But in order to clearly understand these
attributes you must first dig deep to discover them. Once discovered you
can use them in a way that brings joy to others.
I believe that you have a dream of writing a book. I can hear you saying loud and clear that you are not willing to only wish or dream about writing your book. I know that you are ready to move into action and achieve the dream that's inside of you.
My blog consists of articles, essays, poetry, views on literature, creative writing, and society.
