Much of life's adventures are lost as we grow into a life ruled by deadlines, gadgets and other indulgences.
Big Idea is a lightbulb moment that hit me years back that I needed to creatively tell the untold stories of rural and urban living in Africa. These short stories are a brilliant way to teach you and your child how to write their stories, not others' creatively. I remember a time when teachers would ask us to write about our school holidays and I would battle to create an alternative story in the city with all sorts of wonderful treats and visits to theme parks. What I lost then was a chance to tell the beauty of my holidays which had actually been spent at my parents rural village home. I hope we never lose these stories again and learn to write.
