I am. The challenge was in ensuring I stayed true to the message and theme of eac story. There was a tendency to lump one or more together when I first started the draft. I had to keep asking ,myself the question – what did I want the reader to get out of each story, what did I want to get out of each story. All the stories resonate with me.

Writing short stories you mean? I thoroughly enjoyed writing them, and learnt a lot. Kudos to short story writers. It’s indeed an art. There’s a lot of discipline involved. I see myself writing more short stories in the future. A taste of home will of course be a part of it.
Bury me Come Sunday Afternoon addressed a lot of issues including domestic violence, child sexual molestation, religious fanaticism, migration and displacement. My next witting project is a historical fiction novel set in the 1800s, but I also look forward to writing short stories which will address more societal issues.
Life and experience move me to write. Unfortunate incidents move me to write where I feel the plight of others need to be brought to light.

Hi Lola,
Thanks. That was the goal of the stories. I explored this because I’ve observed how we are always quick to jump to conclusions. Life and experience have proven that we need to be more observant.
