Hi Tsholo Are you in RSA or based overseas, and have you published any books? I recently published mine this year, It difficult to book communities or authors in my area (Durban), if you are in SA do you know any book community that one can join?

Most definitely , I feel pride in my own work and feel that movies are taking over our society . Novelists should own their work as their words will live on . :)

I agree with you. Because being a screenwriting you keep all alone, and all your creations, with the help on the net will be robbed or fraudulent. writers are the slaves of the mass media, intensively in this net, which allows all the methods not to get any money. hmmm thats why i became a film maker. thanks rosana veronica cortez noguera( rosanna sanna)
