In the past, I have always written things on scraps of paper that get lost with time. Then, I was nursing the idea of being an author.
I am glad you are still nursing that Idea, sometimes it takes a lit bit, but eventually "Ideas" like everything that gets nursed, from squalling infant, to tiny acorn seed, grow up and bare fruit. In less than a year greenrun, you will have enough little stories to collate into a book. Title Life in Nigeria with Greenrun" subtitle an anecdotal view from a storyteller.
That's true. Ideas are bulletproof. They don't die. That won't be a bad idea. Let's keep steeming and see what the future holds.
Like they say "Time will tell". Remember Isaac Asimov started out with short stories in magazines, then tied them loosely together, and thus "I, Robot" was born.
Never knew the writer or read the book but I love the movie starring Will Smith.
