This man can write.Pure talent

[I](Insert Ian Mbugua’s Voice) However, you are the most terrible person any human being would ever be condemned to work under. You gossip, you never reply emails on time and you are late with deadlines which makes you very unprofessional, you never smile, your interpersonal skills suck and you commit fashion felonies every day! I really don’t like you. Like, at all. I never knew what “hate” meant until I met you. If I had to choose between working under you one minute longer and quitting, I would quit without hesitation. And if I continued working for you, I think I would live just one more year at the end of which I would walk into a shop, buy a dagger, get it sharpened and disembowel myself at Tom Mboya Street in full view of a million people. That is how much I hate you.

My problem with Charles’ writing is that it seems too western influenced. Ni kama novelization ya movie aliwatch but with local locations.

Did i miss that westernized influence part?coz i cant relate

Soma hata iyo story ya Uber. Even the conversations and action zinafeel kama za movie tu. People pointed out that it was a rip off of ‘Collateral’, ile movie ya Jamie Foxx na Tom Cruise.
Don’t get me wrong, his flow is very good. But his writing may have as well been by a white guy who spent a year in Nairobi.

yo see writing fiction entails picking up pieces of ideas from your wide knowledge of information you have and relating to your current set up.you spice up with all tools of writing till you create a movie in peoples minds,and thats what i think the guy is trying to do.
