Come Follow Alida

Alida is a grammatically challenged writer who has a daily penchant for working on her craft. For many years she's been plodding away at a retro cookbook (real recipes linked with a fictional storyline about life, fashion and love/lust), a project she holds as dear to her heart as afternoon naps. She's also written a poem which is in the process of being illustrated, and she's currently working on a Froggy rockstar children's book- From Dustin To Thorn. None of the above have been published.

On the topic of her zero publications, Alida maintains that her career is making headways: “It may appear like I’m shuffling food around a plate, but in fact I’m working hard on alignment and strategy.” She went on to describe an old flame's meal time ritual - “He’d spend at least five minutes pushing all of his same same vegetables together into portions. None could touch. The whole time I’d keep thinking- everything’s going cold!!! But once the ceremony was over he’d chow down his food with such precision that we’d put down our cutlery together. You see, he got there in the end. Quite skilfully,” she added.

And when can we expect this book launch chow down to finally take place? Alida insists that she will (wants to) release a book this year. "I made a bet with my uncle: if I DON'T release a book this year, then I'll walk the steps of the Opera House in a diaper. So as you can imagine, It's really a matter of urgency now," she explained.

To conclude the discussion I asked Alida- with a lack of evidence solidifying your competence as a writer, why are you worth following: “My mum's a huge fan, and my dating profile’s have gained rave reviews. One perspective went as far to say that I presented much better on paper than in person. So as you can see, some favourable feedback,” she gushed.

When not overusing her spellcheck, Alida can also be found partaking in her other passions- cooking, yoga and writing in her personal blog- Achieving dreams, one catastrophe at a time.
