id you leave because they pay you better up there? Did you resign or you were sacked? Did you sink in debts or you got tired of volunteering?  How can I break my career? Well, simple, as you broke your prayer fasting, so do your career but not as virginity. No one wants that pain

Why did you stop writing? Are you still writing? What is wrong with you these days?

These are some of the curious questions I get from my readers these past 100 days of non-strict day to day media practice.

While I have no intention of educating anyone on how media is wide and knowledge diffuse, I find myself at pains to explain to those curser clickers that it is still the same game but different game. Same player.

Don’t get me wrong, this is not a comeback. It was never was. Never will be.  I write in my mind, in my thoughts, on my diary, on my phone, on papers, on keyboard, on tissues, on the palm and in many hearts and minds that read me globally.

But I have been getting an unfair rapping from the media colleagues and readers claiming that I have ditched media. Folks, I am in publishing, I am in Public Relations, I do newspaper articles whenever I can. I blog whenever I can like today. I miss my fans.

Apart from those unreplied WhatsApp messages and pending 1000 Facebook requests waiting for when the button will click, my Google Plus has been growing, my LinkedIn networks expanding but Twitter followers diminishing like it was the season of political defections in Kenya. People are switching loyalties.

Others are quick to give up. I no longer correspond with you. You never reply me. You are always busy. Well that is the damn truth. But no one tells a friend that you are being ignored or you are not the top priority right now. I too have been. It is not revenge, it is a cycle. Today you are up tomorrow you are down and life goes on.

Some solicit for news in the most pervert of ways. Ati where is Mr. Journalistic today? It’s long since we had updates. Truth is I also don’t know. Times citizen journalists do better reports than the scribes who criticized Jesus Christ.

Some are candid. They ask? Did you leave because they pay you better up there? Did you resign or you were sacked? Did you sink in debts or you got tired of volunteering?  How can I break my career? Well, simple, as you broke your prayer fasting, so do your career but not as virginity. No one wants that pain.
