When
I wrote the last episode of my first serial, The Confession after a 10-week period, I decided to embark on a
short break which took longer than originally expected. The break was to afford
me the opportunity to regain the mental strength that was drained from writing
that serial. Believe me or not, each episode was a laborious, quasi-tortuous
moment for me as it was an unfamiliar literary territory for me – out of my
comfort zone. And in a manner akin to how Bishop Dag Heward-Mills established a
‘new church’ and called it First Love Chapel in Legon (ostensibly to return to
where it all begun), I also, in this piece revert to my comfort zone, albeit
briefly to share with you some nuggets I picked up whilst on my sabbatical.
