Take writers seriously

Madam – I am here to raise my concern as an author to all other authors or creative writers.

We as authors look like we have no backbone in our work. We dismally fail our God given talent to write about things or incidents we face because we are bullied by politicians.

It’s the time we must stand up and swallow that fear we got about us and our country. We are too unique to be played because we are shy about our talents. Even the media regulates us, including the publishing companies.

Time to swallow that fear has come. We need to stand and fight to stop being puppets of stakeholders, including the education departments. They looked to us as they loved us but deeply inside their hearts they hate us.

They don’t take us seriously like other professionals or citizens.
