Did you read the discussion at my note on FB. A publisher from your country had very itneresting things to say. I think also this impacts on the discussions at your blog, don't you? <br /><br />Miss Footloose- I'm so happy you enjoyed the speech. Her short stories are lovely, she has a new collection out just now and of course I would highly recommend Half of Yellow Sun. <br /><br />The Pale Observer- How lovely! Yes I know Mochudi well. Lots of exciting things happening there with their new kgosi kgolo. 20 years is not long since I'm now a citizen and intend to be here until they bury me -which I hope is somewhere quite far into the distance.<br /><br />Elizabeth- Hope you enjoy the links. No one is mentioning Simon's Cat which I thought was hilarious!I suppose Chimamanda's speech was more important.Laurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112458658109887868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052453698252224336.post-29801921318631667072009-10-10T06:40:32.056+02:002009-10-10T06:40:32.056+02:00Thanks for all the links, you have a great weekend...Thanks for all the links, you have a great weekend.Elizabeth Bradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03150221675618198674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052453698252224336.post-11760355272998627592009-10-09T18:32:30.897+02:002009-10-09T18:32:30.897+02:00Hi Lauri

I've been 14 years (almost) in Ghana and I thought THAT was long!<br /><br />Well i happily found your blog through Miss Footloose.<br /><br />I lived in Botswana as a volunteer in 1990 - 1991. I absolutely loved it. Lived in a village called Mochudi.<br /><br />I hear Botswana is transformed but I believe the people are still as great?!<br /><br />Will be back to read your blog often!

Chimanda could not have presented the issue in a better way, even getting us to see some humor and making us laugh. I loved it. I'm now getting her books, of course, but that is besides the point.<br /><br />I'm sending this video onward to all my writer friends and other contacts.<br /><br />Thank you so much for sending this my way!<br /><br />Miss FootlooseMiss Footloosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15601892611652195901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052453698252224336.post-12226860806843420272009-10-09T09:17:38.463+02:002009-10-09T09:17:38.463+02:00Hi Lauri!

I think it is a requirement for all writers from the continent and all writers writing about Africa.<br /><br />And Chris' tips were just wonderful. I've recently started writing quite a number of short stories and I found his advice really helpful.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!Jude Dibiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11858743689152487491noreply@blogger.com
