How could I completely abandoned a pet projectI started in India under the tutelage of a Mexican artist cum literary critic Jesus Hector Betancourt? Isn't the art of blogging boring? Just imagine writing for an audience you probably don't know. So you tend to give up when someone is no longer writing to encourage you.
Anyway each time I post something on BaldehBolong my mind hovers back to the words of inspiration given me by my Tanzanian colleague Chabby Barasa who insisted that whatever happened - I should continue writing. During the first week of my scholarship programme in India, the Mexican friend told me this was the first time he has met an African, and our camaraderie would later include lessons on the art of blogging, book writing, designing and explaining the untold African story.
Even though I have been conspicuously absent all these days, each time I think surf the internet my mind goes to the blog, and start imagining why I couldn't continue writing and what is wrong. Perhaps in India I had so much time to write. In The Gambia, I'm not only married to my wife, but my job, and now reading History and Mass Communication at the University. But I must continue at all cost!
Help me please.
