Today, I
have the pleasure of writing about a really good friend. He is extremely
talented in the art of putting together strings of words and creating a
masterpiece. Nic, as we know him, is
not only a brilliant writer but also has a really artistic mind when it comes
to pouring out his heart into his pen only to etch eternal words of poetry that
will make butterflies flutter around in your tummy and leave that warm
fuzziness in your being...watch out for him guys.
I had the
privilege of sifting through some of his material recently, and this bloke is
so frickin’ talented. So, a while ago, Nic handed me a manuscript. “This is not
complete, just go through it and tell me what you think”, he said. Little did I
know what I was in store for!! He proved to be a powerhouse of talent. I sat
with the raw manuscript in my hands and was thrilled by the choice of words he
used, by the thought structure and especially the authenticity.
Anyone who
knows this man will tell you that he is extremely modest, shy and most of all,
humble. Nic has been called a “gentleman” time and time again and this
reputation is tagged with his most polite mannerisms and the respect with which
he treats everyone around him. A simple act like getting the door for a lady,
or offering you his jacket when you are feeling cold, or, just letting someone
have the last say. This, friends, is the brilliant-minded author I am telling
you about. He is a paradox of modesty & immense talented. Nic takes his
work very seriously and is open to all types of criticism. The mark of a true
star, I think.
Well done on
journeying toward your dream, Nic. I guess I should take your autograph now!!
