Getting used to loneliness

  On Solitude/Loneliness... I think we need to get to the point where we can fully understand the difference between solitude and loneliness... I am someone who thrives in solitude. I prefer my own company more often than not. Hell, since the lockdown, I've been cooped up inside the house without any inkling to go out whatsoever. So much so that my father thought I was having a young-adult crisis. However, that's not the case at all. Like, I don't miss anything/anybody enough to want to go and visit them. And I don't lack for communication too much to want to meet people. It's not as if I'm even that active on WhatsApp, I hardly reply statuses of people. Neither have I ever posted, "I am bored" I never get bored or tired of my own company. And as far back as I was a toddler, it was this way. I remember not liking visiting the neighbours but I had to go cos my sister was going. And being older how, I hate anything that will send me to market, a...

The ABC's of Script Formatting: Character Cues

Image
These are the participants in the dialogue of a script. It could be between the protagonist and the antagonist, or a love interest. Even, it could be with random characters in the scene.  The character cues specifies the actors that are making the dialogues and so, it is essential that the cues are indicated at every turn. Unlike fiction writing where the character cues are not indicated in some dialogues, it is a must for the script, so you wouldn’t burden anyone into deciphering the person that has a particular dialogue.  In this scene, there are three characters. Two which are named are obviously major characters in the assumed script, and the other is a random character and so it is not necessary to name him.  The writing of the characters, random or not should be capitalised in all cases. So you should have, ‘TOLU,’ ‘UCHE,’ ‘IDEM’ not ‘Tolu,’ ‘Uche,’ or ‘Idem.’ They should be in the Upper Case Alphabet lettering For cases like the random chara...

Notions (Police Brutality)

The world is ravaged with Corona virus but that's now stale news, we are now plagued by the system killing off people instead of the virus. The law enforcement agency that should be implementing rules and regulations to help curb the spread of the COVID are now busy ridding human beings of the life the lock down is designed to protect. A month ago, it was shooting a poor boy in Onitsha by the police.  When the lockdown was enforced newly, the police were destroying people's wares in the name of implementing orders. For the past couple of weeks, these Nsukka whatnots are whipping people they see aren't on facemasks and harassing people even as late as 7 am in the morning. A young girl was just shot in Lagos by the same police. Just like that, her life has ended in the blink of an eye. Until when are we to keep venting about the Injustice in this country, by these agencies nonetheless? If it's not clear enough, YOU ARE NOT SAFE. The Police is Not your friend. None of thes...
