Am on mission to be a good writer






Am on a mission to be a good writer. Am happy people are giving me tips. This is interesting. Am just praying to have a good health so that i complete my book and have it published before the end of this year. I just say thank you to the great people who have helped. You people you are great, you have inspired me;


1. Matovu-Mutesasira Twaha who gave me the reading materials and i started reading at a tender age when children of my age could not. I remember i used to read newspapers you sent to us in the village, The Crusader, Shariat, The Weekly Message i enjoyed the great columnist Ishaq Kintu Nganda with Nganda's Missive and of course The Monitor currently Daily Monitor i was a great fun of David Ouma Balikowa and The Ear to the Ground (Teeka okutu ku taka owulire ebiduduma) man Charles Onyango-Obbo.

2. Ibrahim Nganda Ssemujju who introduced me to writing. I remember he told me to report stories and i told me him and i do not know how to write. He straight away told me go and write. I started but my first story is not a "story" and when i sent it to him he did not not comment. But on my second story that's where my turning point in writing was i still remember his comment "Your story is good but the photos are not good". Thats when i knew that i could write.

3.Patricia Akoth (RIP), Kakaire Ayub KirundaSentamu Edward Nakanyike Ann, Ruth Nankanja, who encouraged me to continue writing after my first article published by Sunday Monitor, 19 June 2011.

Wasajja Mahad who keeps on encouraging me to write.

5. The people i worked with at CIL - IPC Secretariat who gave me space to identify myself Dr. Frank NabwisoRaymond Lweterezo Robert Italo,Omar Kalinge-nnyago and Arinaitwe Scovia.

6. Melissa Kyeyune of KHAMEL iNK who introduced me to the art of editing and proof reading books. Whenever i see the books i worked on featuring on Amazon i just say i can also do it they have nothing that i do not have.

Lastly my parents.
You have really made me a person who write an article and it has an impact with full of sense.
Am proud because i did not go to any journalism class but i write better than those who went to journalism classes.

Am grateful
Alhamudillah
