Here’s a brief story about myself that might motivate someone today and other aspiring writers out there.
Back in high school, I hardly pass Literature In English, yeah I’m always either on average or below average.
Even as a social prefect then, I don’t attend lectures when it comes to Lit-in-English, I just follow my guys to the school jungle. A place we refer to as (School 2).
Infact throughout my high school year, I’d never purchased any literature story book recommended in before, I just sit in class and listen to other students while they read.
And when it’s time for exam, I follow my usual way of answering the questions and as usual, it’s either 45/100 or 38/100, the mark is always below 50.
Let me just say this straight, I hate literature with passion and I hate reading storybooks or novels, because I have this mentality that “reading a book that has tiny texts is always stressful to read” so for that reason, I don’t even pickup any, talk more of reading .
PURPLE HIBISCUS was a popular story then and this book is so volumous .
The book I hated the most was the one recommended while I was in SS3, “CASTLE OF OTRANTO”, ahh!
This novel looks like King James Version Bible, merely looking at it I will just decide to miss class for that period.
The only jamb novel I read was (SWEET SIXTEEN) and this is because the novel looks less voluminous and easy to read. You see this other one called (INDEPENDENCE), i just read half and only God knows how I passed that exam .
Then i decided to start creating contents on Facebook but I don’t really know what to start with or what to create.
First of all I started with comedy and yeah I’m a comedian, this was around 2018-2019. I will be starting my comedy content on TikTok today.
I will drop the link soon
Around 2021, I noticed a lady’s page then (Ruthie Lee stories), then I switched my content creation idea from comedy to stories because I noticed how she had massive engagements on her stories then. You can check out her page.
I started photocopying her stories directly from her page to my former account which was my first account where I post stories before creating a backup account which is this current one, so if you are not following my first account, you can do that now I will be dropping stories there one of these days.
Then I started getting followers and was actually getting kudos from people.
“Paul you are one of the best writers I’ve ever met here on facebook”
“Paul you are so talented”.
But deep down I wished I was actually the owner or writer of the stories I do post.
It was late 2022 I decided myself that I must create something myself, I must write my own story.
It was also that period I discovered my unique writing skills. I called it Unique because, I noticed I can create a full storyline by only seeing a picture and through the picture, I form stories in my head and penned them down.
And that’s how I do write my stories till today.
Mostly horrors.
You know what I use to do most times?
I just go online and search for most scary horror pictures, then i download the one I best see fit that I can create and plot a horror story on.
Then I publish…
I started with just 1.8k followers and now I have over 120k followers, I achieved this milestone in span of 1 year.
One of the writer that motivated me is (Desmond Ben)
He’s capable of twisting your head with his story.
(Victor Firdance ) also motivated me in this writing journey.
If I had more interest in literature back in high school, who knows I might’ve been a well known writer on media space today but atleast I discovered something earlier.
I will be diversifying my story lines now which means, I won’t be writing only horror stories again. Other story lines I will be writing is Zombie Apocalypse, Werewolf, Action in addition with horror.
Title of stories I’m currently working on:
1. CHAOS OF RACES (African+American Zombie Apocalypse)
2. THE BLOODLINE’S CURSE (Action + Horror)
3. WEREWOLF SYSTEM (Cybernetic+Horror+Action)
Etc…
This is just to motivate other potential writers, you don’t need to have the talent before you know how to write, you can just try to see what best works for you and implement it.
You can also try this my Picture Sighting method if it will work for you.
