To not use a talent to the best of your ability is to stifle the thing that makes you most special. It is like plucking the wings off a butterfly. I had an opportunity to engage with Author Makgwale Vallery Mogaladi who gave me insight about her writing career.

“Writing revamp knowledge and no knowledge is wasted”.
What does writing mean to me?
Writing is my inspiration and motivation, the more I write the more I learn. And in the depth of despair, the pen becomes my sword, words are my shield, and every time my pen bleeds, it bleeds comfort.
Tell us more about my recently published book
When I write about GONE ARE THOSE DAYS, NOW NYAOPE IS IN CHARGE I was heart shattered by how people waste their talents and future due to drugs. As a parent, a sister to me is tear-jerking to see the situation families encounter after one of them falls into the pit of drugs. And I wish I could change this predicament. If it were easy to dictate addicts who are wasting their precious gift which is life, I was definitely going to do so wholeheartedly because it’s a pity to watch youngsters ruin their future completely. If you take it back to apartheid our golden agers have undergone sorrowful struggle, and after they won liberty drugs rule our nation. And it’s difficult to fight this demon they call drugs.
“Reading is a perfect remedy to exercise your thoughts to learn more than you know”.
what do you think about the revolution in writing?
As a published Author it’s a bit challenging to market our books, but if you truly know what you want you’ll push through every difficulty to attain your goals. Every step is progress that’s why we have to fight for success and never give up, despair is for the defeated.
For someone who is inspired to be a writer, what is your advice to her ?
Sharing is caring, you’ll never know how many people will be inspired or be healed by your story cause every story has a deep meaning. Doing what you love is self-motivation, let’s break the silence of what we encounter in life to make it enjoyable.
What project are you currently working on?
I am working on my upcoming book. But I’m not working alone, as am working with a friend and we are almost done with it. Surely before the year ends it will be out.
What does success mean to you?
Success is a valuable weapon to use for lifelong. When you are successful destitution won’t be your crony, that’s why we have to study, toil harder neither harness our talents, and scrutinize every step we take carefully to reach success because success does not just find you, you have to go out and get it.
“Life without inspiration and motivation is like a wind that blow without direction”.
