“Resurrection of Dead Dreams” is actually the title of a book that belongs to a series authored by a dear friend who’s been through a lot physically, emotionally and spiritually. I got to know her gradually at my workplace, as my office was located right behind her cubicle. When we started sharing thoughts and ideas…
“I’ve found the best way to revise your own work is to pretend that somebody else wrote it and then to rip the living shit out of it.” ― Don Roff Okay, some people have bad experiences with self-published books because most of these books are not properly edited. And because they are filled with horrible mistakes,…
Is there even a line to be drawn? The debate is endless. With the latest editing software and a few tricks learned at a writing convention, anyone can self-publish. Does it mean your story will be worth the reader’s time? Absolutely not. Traditionally or self-published books belong to the same basket – ask and you shall…
Humility is a word I’ve learned to use more often nowadays. A few years back, I would have laughed in your face and demonstrated in all possible ways how humble I was, and how I didn’t need to get humbler because truly, I was the humblest out there. Fact. I was the cockiest jerk alive.…

That might sound silly, but I’m in my early thirties and feel like I’m only growing up now. I thought I knew what adulthood was like once I turned seventeen, heck…I knew nothing. I don’t know much more now, but at least I can say I know enough to tell you I’m very far from…
Latest news! I’m typing while dealing with osteoarthritis in my left thumb so needless to say is I’m much slower on the computer now. And naturally, I’m not happy about it, because typing is my thing. Yeah. How am I going to finish my book if I can’t type? I wondered how much resentment I…
We all see it, live it, deal with it. People who are rude. People who are inconsiderate. People who are so self-centered and narrow-minded, they think they have all rights to spill their anger onto the world so we can all share their shit and feel miserable. I can’t take these assholes. And the reason…
When people tell me to take it easy, I usually react like this: fuck patience. I want things fast, and when it includes writing, gosh, I wish there was a pill I could take like in the movie Limitless, and write my book in six hours. My story would be brilliant, and perfect by the…
