Some of the narrative springs from my own life experiences or the vivid tales shared by those close to me. This personal connection deepens the reader's engagement, allowing them to step into the protagonist's shoes and truly immerse themselves in their emotional mindset. While I incorporate elements of embellishment and fiction to heighten the excitement and intrigue for the audience, the essence of the story remains grounded in genuine authenticity.
Publishing a book requires significant financial investment, and writing a novel is not a quick task. It often takes months or even years to prepare a book for publication. After completing your manuscript and numerous revisions, the next step is hiring a professional editor. You also need to consider typesetting, designing the book cover, and marketing. All these aspects require both time and money.
If I could take a year off work to devote entirely to writing, it would be a dream come true. Unfortunately, with a full-time job and daily commitments, I typically find time to write during my downtime.
For me, yes. I strive to write each day. However, there are moments when I face the infamous ‘writer’s block,’ where inspiration feels elusive, and I’m unable to choose a direction for my story. On other days, my mind overflows with vivid ideas, compelling me to capture them on the page before they slip away.
When readers enjoy my book and leave a positive review, it makes me feel good, not merely because the review is positive, but also because my book has resonated with them in some way. They have connected with my protagonist, which is incredibly uplifting since I write stories that convey a positive message from difficult situations. Hope is a powerful aphrodisiac and can help people move on from adversity and rise above their challenges.
When I receive a negative review, I approach it with an open mind and willingness to learn. While I understand that my writing style may not resonate with everyone, I welcome constructive criticism with an open and eager spirit. In this industry, having thick skin is essential because there will be times when you receive a negative review that is neither constructive nor helpful.
