Hello! This might get long and emotional but bear with me... It’s difficult to explain what it means to be on the #CKG18 Longlist, not for me but for where I come from and what it represents. Difficult but hopefully not impossible. Let me explain 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
I have always written and I will always write. Since I was published, the reasons why I write have changed. When I was first published I visited a school in Ilford, East London. My first ever Author school visit. I did a short talk, signed some books, took some pics. I felt good.
Confused, I replied, let me in where? “You’re published. They only let one in at a time right? It’s your turn. For now.” I was shocked. I said something like, no it’s not like that, I just wrote it and it happened etc but I could see he wasn’t convinced and he left.
