Let them eat kandolo"😂😂😂😂

Top tier title.

On deciding the form of a story, I think reading too many books about structure has subconsciously made my default the typical:

Intro- Conflict- Confrontation- twist- resolution

It's has to be consciously intentional on my part to try something different and experiment. Though such experimentation can only go so far, as usually a story has its own base template when I come up with the idea.

And on serendipity. Odd how some things just align, I wouldn't blame the religious in prescribing such moments to God.

Thanks the read and great write up as always.

P.s: Might need that cookbook in the next few years, when I ascend into my "only indigenous culture" phase.
