Dear readers of this blog
Your comments are what motivate me to keep writing. The number of feedback I get pales in comparison to the number of people reading this blog. I know a lot of you probably just prefer reading without making your presence known, but please know that hearing from you is just as important as knowing your visit this blog.
I have also decided that the feed back I get on the latest story will determine if the update on Friday happens. I am getting a little too crowded with tasks that need my attention and only your participation keeps me from giving up on these stories. So that being said, let me hear from you or I go on vacation on Friday. :p
Lots of love
Umari.

DeleteErm..hi, I actually posted the story and this article in the early hours of today so I can focus on other things that need my attention. You are not paying for these stories and some time and effort is being put into creating them. The best you can do is show some appreciation. If not, I am sure there are other serial blogs you can find online. Thanks.
Delete@Ixxi, aww...I am not going anywhere. X :)

Phoebe, you are forgiven. Pleased to meet you too. As for the Unilag runs girl story, we put a lid on it due to a lot of things. I don't know if I can start it all over again but I will definitely consider it. Thank you for coming out. Mwaah. :)
Deleteguilty as charged!,i enjoy ur books.tanx barr. Kachi
ReplyDeleteAww...okay, you are acquitted of the charge Barr. Kachi. Pleased to meet you. X :)
DeleteHaba , umari y are u threatning us now.u dnt want to loose ur silent fans. Its better u c ur cup as half full dan half empty, we al love ur stories nd ur d best....so pls friday
ReplyDeleteHaba Pelumi, I am not threatening you now. And I dont have silent fans, I have silent readers. This was done to bring them out and so far, I have had fun meeting them. As for my cup, I am the eternal optimist dear, it is always half full. So yes, Friday...and erm..I look forward to interacting with you then, praise singing aside. ;)
DeleteUmari you don't have to threaten us now. Yes, we enjoy your write ups. There's no reason to comment most times expect to say you write well, and am sure you aren't so vain to the extent of expecting that on every episode. If you want to write pls write, just because you love to not for the praises. That will come in due time.
ReplyDeleteHehe, another 'threaten' line. Dear Ruby, I do not share serials consistently because I am the most jobless person out there. I could just write, publish my work and make money from it. I started this project to interact with the reading public and to make reading fun again. While I expect you to comment on stories, I am sure you can always say more than 'you write well'. The whole point of this blog is interaction. If I am not getting it, then going on with it is pointless. I hope you catch my drift? And as for the praises, they are already here. I just wwant more than that.
DeletePls o, be boosted by d number of people that visit. U re good to go, keep it up
ReplyDeleteLol, okay Ify...and pleased to meet you as well. :)
DeleteUmar,Im a Silent Reader though i compliment ur works on twitter...pls,pls and Please,dont go on Vacation cos person go cry for ur head..Thanks for the Good Work.
ReplyDeleteLol, Fisayo, a vacation is always good at some point now. Thank you for making yourself known. So you are no longer a silent reader. ;)
DeleteGuilty as charged, I am a silent regular reader, started with Moshe's Diary then Tamisho now Apartment 7. Keep it up, promise to repent.
ReplyDeleteOkay dear, happy to know you will be more visible now. I look forward to discussing with you from now on. :)
DeleteI'm a huge fan of your writing. You're a truly gifted and hardworking writer. Keep up the good work. :).
ReplyDeletePleased to meet you Demola, and thank you. :)
DeleteEver since i stumle on ur story on nairaland i have been an unrepentant fan of ur blog, so if u go on vacation which i know u really need,I wont be selfish to tell you not to go but remember dat I LOVE UR STORIES therefore sweetheart always put us in mind to post.
ReplyDeleteKeep d gud work UP and I pray the GOOD GOD continue to increase ur knowledge base and give u d wisdom to WRITE wondaful stories.
CHEERS
Thank you dear. I am touched by your prayer and wish you the same. Look forward to hearing more from you. :)
DeleteHey Umari,
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time commenting, although I've followed your stories from Tamisho up until now. Writing is my first passion, pity I can't put it to practice as I would love to cos I've got so much else on my plate, In this regard I do envy you. But one thing for sure is this, You're lucky to have this talent and to put it to good use. Comments or no, I think you should keep doing what you love and not abandon it for lack of appreciation. Tha accolades should be just fringe benefits. So in all keep doing what you love, a lot of people do appreciate your work even if they decide to keep silent about it. Cheers!
Thank you for your kind words dear, but I do not consider myself perfect yet, and that is why I love interacting with readers. Talking about characters, themes and even prediction a character's next action inspires a writer in more ways than I care to mention. It is not about the accolades but more about interaction. :)
DeleteSo sorry Umari for not writing any comment since u started Apartment 7 series because I hv so many tins right now but I wil start writing my comments again. Used 2 alwaz comment on ua previous series with “1st 2 comment,Dancing azonto”.
ReplyDeleteBut pls dear don't stop d stories cos I look forward 2 dem evry Mondays, wednesdays n fridays.
Aww...pleased to meet you Obiageli. At least now I know your name. ;)
DeleteAnd as for the stories, I will do my best. :)
Umari pls forgive us (silent followers).
ReplyDeleteHenceforth, I'll not only comment but share dis link on other media. luv u!
