It's the difference between taking a well-deserved nap in a lecture theater and taking a recreational walk to the Botanical Gardens . . . In the former instance, I learn only how uncomfortable lecture venues are for sleeping. In the latter one, I learn the names of trees and I count stars and imagine them pulling me towards them as I pull them towards me. I dream of success and I construct ways to make these dreams my reality.

Words: Through The Eyes of a Writer

There is this movie; a movie about a man who wrote a book about a writer who found a book. The book which the writer had found was written by an old war-veteran; but he had not known this when he submitted it as his own. The writer of the book, the writer in the book and the old man all share one thing in common: they are all writers. Each had a story, and each story lead them to the craft. Each story began with love; and each ends with heartache and tears. I am a writer, and I too have one such story. It began at the end of an adventure I wished would never end.

It was the idea of waking up to my favourite dream every morning; the one where it's her lips that breathé life into my own at every ...

It was due this passed Friday morning, but I talked my way to an extension. I needed more time; more time to sleep, to heal my nerves. Time is what I sorely needed, and yet I wasted it on long nights spent inebriatedly wandering the streets of Grahamstown among students celebrating an Irish saint whose patronage very few even know. St Paddy's day ... A waste of time. Time which could have been spent following the news. Time which is so precious, and yet is taken for granted. Time Mandy Rossouw ran out of; but used well. I never got to meet her, but I revered her from my pre-journalist days. Hers was a name I heard many a time on the radio while stuck in the traffic after school before I grew to care for politics; her tweets kept me updated on matters for which I had to care and her craft inspire...
