Book editing is one of the most important steps of book writing. It is a process that requires much concentration and focus because it involves the thorough analysis of the entire manuscript or the rough draft and turning it into a polished product. Here, you’re also going to be applying corrections wherever needed. […]
Writing is an art and a science. I always like to say that writing a book is like baking chocolate chip cookies. All you need is the right recipe. At the same time, writing a book is a very personal, creative process that pushes you beyond your limits and anything you thought yourself […]
For most soon-to-be authors, that actual writing is the most difficult part. At the same time, it’s also the most rewarding! But, whether you believe it or not, writing a book is actually a fairly easy process, IF you have the recipe. Think of it like baking chocolate chip cookies. If you have all […]
When it comes to publishing a book, there are lots of decisions you have to make. There are also many options to choose from before you are finally able to share your masterpiece with the world. There’s always the dilemma of whether you should self-publish your books or do things the traditional way: i.e. […]
There are so many things to complain about in life…finances, your job, your kids, etc. And, while there may be legitimate reasons to complain about your situation, complaining will never make it better. Think about some of the most profound stories you read in the news. Or the most moving memoirs where the “victim” […]
I love rainbows. Ever since I was a kid, I was obsessed with them. I would literally just draw them on anything I could get my hands on. I was in love with all the colors and the idea of finding a little pot of gold at the end. The most gorgeous […]
Self-love and self-esteem are closely bonded to each other. When you don’t believe in your abilities, your value or your worth, your mind cannot respond in the opposite way. Your mind will go in the direction of your dominant thoughts. If you don’t feel “good enough”, you will likely live a life to […]
We want to be known for helping others. In the Bible, Mark 12:31 states “Love your neighbor as yourself.” This is a beautiful verse and one that can help us have more love in our life. But, I believe the true interpretation is something most people get wrong. Some interpret this wisdom by […]
Do you have a flair for writing and dream of becoming a published author? Plenty of people share this dream, but they also share a common problem: financial constraints. It used to be that publishing a book was only for the uber-wealthy or those who landed a multi-million dollar book deal from a […]
A couple of years ago, I saw quite a memorable news report about a famous model who decided to get her legs insured. Her legs were a highly marketable asset, so it was important to her and her modeling agency to make sure they would be protected against any potential injury or harm. […]
We all have those persistent plot lines that we’ve held on to from years or even decades before. Typically, they are stories that make us into a victim, where someone has done us wrong and we’re able to place the blame on someone else, another situation, event, job, or even where you live. […]
It can be very easy to fall into a rut of procrastination. But it’s also easy to tell yourself you are not actually a procrastinator. Serial procrastinators tell themselves five lies. And maybe, we all need to see if we fit into any of these five lies. If the Lie Fits… […]
We all have dreams. Some are big — things you hope to accomplish in a lifetime. Others are small, perhaps something you want to achieve within this year. Yet, putting those dreams into action, taking conscious efforts to achieve their realization, is another story. What are your dreams? For today, tomorrow, 10 […]
You know I’m a fan of lists, but this list is a bit different than the average one. It’s the Unhappiness Laundry list. How is it different? Well, unlike things like “buy stamps”, “go to the dry cleaners” or “pick up eggs”, the items on this list are intangible. They are internal, and […]
I had a great reminder today. I was talking with a friend, about the direction of her life, and it seemed not really to be going the way she planned. But then the coolest thing happened. After some self-reflection, she realized that she had total control of her life and where she wants […]
