The Creative Edge

Its been forever since I blogged and that's largely because of the high standards I set for myself when I started this blog. As the name implies this is all about being creative and for the last few months I have been lagging in that department. However, I thought of an idea that I fell in love with. Its a mixture of novel, script and stage play writing. It circles almost completely on dialogue and it refers to real people (something that would probably get me sued if I was a big-shot, but since am a small dude in a large pond, its all good.lol). Its also the first story I've written that's not based in Africa. This one is set in USA. Hope someone enjoys it. :) *Tom walks into Talent Manager’s office* Talent Manager: Tommy, Tommy my boy, please take a seat. Tom: Just Tom would do. *Tom sits down* Talent Manager: Ah, nonsense, Tom is for the nobodies, but Tommy is reserved for those closest to your heart. Tom: But, I’ve only known you for a week? Talent Manager: So? Real

Its been a while since I blogged something; wanted to share something I wrote back after hours of intense pondering on how cruel this world can be sometimes...so, if you're in need of lifting up, then maybe you will enjoy this poem.... The hole!!!!!! That dark abyss, Where everything is amiss, Bruised by the whips of failed relationships, She plants the seeds of love but heartache is all she reaps, The say love is war, For her that is a vivid reality, Because she is the usual casualty, She is the victim of the sexual plunder of men, Her mind trained to view them all in the same vein, Heartless, Cold, Calculating, Cannibals and lustful, From the father who soiled her childhood with molestation, To the husband who left her divorced and in devastation, To the several Casanovas that gave her sleep deprivation, As she lay on her bed, suffering from mental malnutrition, This is her pit, The hole whose depth only increases with each trip, She needs saving. The hole!!!! That dark abys

The horror flick, ‘The Rite’ was the first movie I had planned to blog on but after stumbling upon ‘Last Night’ and ‘The Adjustment Bureau’; I thought it best I brought out my softer side and played with them in my creative lab. ‘Last Night’ came out a year ago and I was surprised I hadn’t heard of it before, if not for its A-star cast then its peculiar approach to an age old question, but I can’t be too hard on myself putting into consideration that romantic movies aren’t exactly my bread and wine. However, ‘Last Night’, tingled the neural pathways in my brain in ways very few movies of this genre have ever done.   It stars Sam Worthington (Clash of the Titans) as Michael, Keira Knightley (Pirates of the Caribbean’s) as Joanna, Eva Mendes (The Other Guys) as Laura, Guillaume Canet (The Beach) as Alex; pretty strong cast, huh? There is really not much of a plot to this story and the premise is very clichéd as it addresses concepts of infidelity (something that has been hit on in Hol

I’ve been struggling with starting this blog for some time now, unsure about the type of content to discuss and the splendid introduction to grace its opening. After some heavy thought and divine intervention, I got my answers. Before I explain the goal of this blog, I need to ask a question that has plagued the minds of historians, philosophers, artists, scientists and even the average Joe on the street, that question is, “What is creativity?” I want you to think about that for a minute or two, stop reading immediately and let it sink in…Am sure after thinking about it for a while you have either come up with no definite answer or a text book meaning, such as the ability to create. An amazing scientist and someone am sure we all know-Albert Einstein, said this once. “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” Now, the first time I read this, it really took me aback. Why would a man whose niche demanded that he thought from the perspective of hard-core facts and theories purport s
