...in 2009.
In 2009 I Wrote A Song That Never Got Recorded.
It Had A Melody, It Had The Words To Create New Emotions
Because It Was From A Painful Place, Somewhere Deep In My Heart.
I Called The Song “Getting Greens” Because I Was Convinced That Money Was
The Form Of Our Newly Reformed Spiritual Awakening.
Fast Forward 9 Years Later.
I’m Locked Up In A Room With Darkness Gathering & The Choking
Smoke Of Depression, Like The Wild Fires From Hate & The Illusions Of
Progression We See When We Creep On Our Cell Phones.
I Had No Direction But Yet I Was Floating Around Trying To Find
Someway To Get A Reason For My Being.
I Was Lost, Sadly, But I Heard A Whisper; “Write About It”.
Fast Forward 2 Years & 7 Months Later.
It’s Not A Lot But, I Completed My First Novel & Self-published It.
I Have Three Books Under This Belt Of Mine.
I Started My Publishing Campaign To Help
Writers Of South Africa To Get Their Work Read
And Accepted As Something Great!
So, What did I learn from this?
“This Ain’t 2009 No More.”
Do whatever. Just do it!
