This blog's finally up and running, and you're very welcome.
I've been working on this site for some time now, fiddling with this and that, all in an effort to come up with, firstly, something visually pleasing. I'm still working on that end (I'm one of the fussy ones).
As with form, so with content. In this instance I wrestled with the precise focus of this blog. Of course I had some ideas as to what I wanted to present, but choosing one over the other was the problem. In the end I've opted to cover a broad range of topics, with a limited focus on Salia Koroma, the greatest poet-musician Sierra Leone has had to date. In a sense, then, this site will be a Salia Koroma Vector.
So this certainly isn't another African music blog; that ground's well covered, thank you, Sir, Madam. And this isn't another public confessional.
This is just the start. I'm hoping this blogging thing will be a long, fruitful (and mostly enjoyable) journey. It might very well turn out to be not unlike the proverbial lorry that plies the route to Kpetewoma, strenuously lurching from side to bone-jarring side as it negotiates the potholes. You might call them craters; I'll call them harmless potholes. Hand your bag, bundle, whatever, to the motor-boy. Hop in. It's very empty now, our Kpetewoma lorry, but we hope to pick up other passengers along the way.
The plan's to give you a post or two each week. Do come back; I'll give you lots of Salia Koroma goodies.
And don't forget to leave your feedback: constructive comments, critiques, etc. If you don't get it, the only feedback I want is the one that feeds the ego you don't know I have. Your scorn, though, you can keep for yourself.
Seneo! Welcome!

Thanks for leaving comments on Moments in lit. There is a demand for genre, and our writers must expand...
