As I wrote this piece, I remember thinking the chapter was somewhat confusing. If neither the Company nor Neuman-Life wanted George to succeed, then who did? I didn’t know. Also, why was the Company’s representative at the meeting? And what was this bombshell about George’s mum and brother’s accident not being accidental at all! The… Continue reading Indigenous Chapter Eleven

Today, I picked up the book and decided to blog about the next chapter: OneWorld. I was pleasantly surprised after reading it. Congratulations to me. Oh yes, there are probably errors and areas that could be developed or corrected, but there always are. The opening section is all about George’s dad, Michael. I remember having… Continue reading Indigenous Chapter Ten

This is the second time I am trying to write about this chapter. It opens nicely, following the story of the massacre, but then suddenly begins talking about imaginary events that caused the world to change. I was shocked by how close my storytelling was to reality. The book was not intended to predict anything… Continue reading Indigenous Chapter Nine

Chapter Eight Run My chapter for chapter review is not as easy as I imagined. Sometimes I read the chapter and … well, it’s just a story, while other times it swims in memories. Quite often I find myself wondering, if any of what I write is original or actually mine. I mean, I use… Continue reading Indigenous Chapter Eight

Chapter Seven I think part of the fun of writing this blog is discovering what I have written. For example, the title of the chapter is Shutdown … I needed about two minutes to remember why.If my mind keeps folding in on itself like this, soon I’ll be picking up my own books and saying… Continue reading Indigenous Chapter Seven

It’s been a while … oops! Chapter six is the title of the book ‘Indigenous’. It starts so soft and gentle with emptiness and no life but finishes with the horrific scene with the shaman. The opening scene is that of an ocean coastline. I used the memories I had of walks with my daughter… Continue reading Indigenous Chapter Six

Hello everyone, I know it has been a while… hopefully I will be more consistent this time. Anyway, here is chapter five: I remember enjoying writing this chapter – inventing the character Aviv.  I also remember having written far more than what finally made it into the book.  Or at least ‘dreamt’ about a lot… Continue reading Indigenous Chapter Five

Again, I seem to be delayed in writing about each chapter.  The reason for it this time is covid.  Three jabs later, and still I get it.  I got it from taking care of my son – so actually, I am quite okay with that.  I believe a child should not be left alone when… Continue reading Indigenous Chapter Four

Tell us a little bit about your hometown and your life growing up. I would prefer to keep this part of my… Continue reading 12 Questions I was Asked

This, for me, is an interesting chapter in which the idea of how people who are suffering from bereavement are treated.  It is connected to the earlier mentioned theme of ‘Moving On’.   Is it necessary to always move on?  Life is not only about moving on, surely?  At some point or other you must find… Continue reading Indigenous Chapter Three
