As part of my struggle with writing these past couple of years, I decided to throw myself into it more often and do stuff I would normally pass on in my writing slump. To that end, I entered the OFF TOPIC PUBLISHING nonfiction contest for December. I didn’t win, but I received an honorable mention. That’s a start for someone who feels so far removed from writing that I hasten to call myself a writer these days.
The piece I wrote for this contest was published on the Off Topic Publishing website today. It’s called How Jamhuri Day Changed my Life and it’s about an experience I had while returning to Nairobi from Keekorok lodge in the Maasai Mara region of Kenya.
I’m grateful that it received an honorable mention. I need these little nuggets along my path back to writing. It’s been really hard.
