Advocating was never something I desired to do. I just wanted to mind my business and try to make something of myself. In my eyes, that would be difficult to do if I were also focusing on lifting others up. It doesn’t help that I am more introverted and reserved, being the center of attention […]
I received my author’s copy of the book im publishing earlier this week. The book is certainly beautiful to look at. This has been a long time coming. The moment I clicked ‘enable distribution’ on my book was one of the most thrilling moments of my life. I ordered quite a few copies of books,

While the process may be strenuous, the rewards are valuable. The struggles of commitment are a pathway to paradise. There’s a saying, nothing worthwhile is

Traditional vs Self-publishing. It’s the writer’s equivalent to Pepsi vs Coke or Red Sox vs Yankees. There seems to be a divisive split amongst the community about which is the better route to go. I can’t tell you what to do or what is objectively superior because it’s based on your preference or situation. Let

The power of poetry is not to be taken likely. It saved my soul when I felt like I was missing a semblance of purpose in life. Many of you know already poetry is my favorite form of writing and my rough beginnings with writing. However, what you don’t know is how it poked a

Laments of Writing. Every writer experiences the woes and challenges of this hobby. From Writer’s block to the insecurity you feel when a piece comes out, not how you envisioned it. Writing is a medium of art and you put your blood, sweat, and tears to bring it to life. I have a story to
