i don't hear any voices? it must be the water ;)
looks like you have been busy loading your new saaleha-dot-com - looking forward to reading new post on: cheaper than a moleskine,the zephyr and i, and RAYMAR DRIVER!
FYI:
your characters have such great emotional and psychological depth! are you sure you don't want to play with them here? they will make you the famous writer beyond your wildest dreams... and friends and strangers can comment on drafts or study characters.
South Africa is waiting to hear the voices of its citizens personified in character development - you may be just the creative mind to do it.
you are surrounded in a land of many rich cultures and beautiful people. i used to sit in international jetports just to watch all the citizens of the world. people are the real gold of the world, not the coins! coins flow through our fingers, characters become tenants in our minds forever.
jot down a list of your favorite characters and what makes them so memorial or special.
