Authors: Why the Best Person to Sell Your Book is You
It’s often said that everyone has a good book in them. This perhaps explains why, when I published my first book back in 2012, so many people told me that they were also writing a book. Of course, they were. I mean, if I can do it, why couldn’t they? It’s just that in the last eight years, I’ve not seen many of them reach the final stage of the process where they have actually published anything.

What You "Do" Is Not Who You Are
How many times have you walked into a party or event and been introduced to new people who almost immediately ask you what you do? As if your answer to that question is going to direct and define that whole conversation. I've always hated that question for so many reasons. Everyone is always quick to say their job and what they do for a living but are we not much more than that? Why would you put all of your self-worth into what you do for a living? To be frank, I think it's bullshit. If I'm an accountant do I just tell people I'm an accountant and that's that? Why would I limit myself to that? In my mind, that didn't answer the question. Sure, accounting is what you do for a living but what about all of that stuff you do that you actually enjoy and that you consider in one way or another to be apart of you? The stuff that you don't consider to be work.

4 Effective Ways to Get Out of a Creative Block
I am a writer. I am also a musician. For the past 5 months I’ve had no problem opening up a new file on my DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) and composing, mixing, and mastering music for hours, every single day. From Monday to Sunday. Nonstop. I love some tracks, find the rest okay, and others I simply discard, telling myself I’ll do better the next day.

How to Combat Writer's Block
Practical Tips To Combat Writer's Block- Part II As a student of creative writing and journalist for over 25-year, I always wondered what causes writer’s block syndrome. In my own experience, working as a journalist with an organisation is very different from working as a freelancer. Being a freelance journalist there are moments when I feel stuck and find it very difficult to transfer an idea from mind to manuscript. I must say, it is a very stressful and frustrating experience. It feels like you have a complete map of your journey, but you cannot work out the physical location of the starting point. Why does this happen? There are so many reasons and causes that just won’t let it happen. I lost my writing power when I left my country, and then my daughter’s birth and my father’s death in the same week added fuel to fire. My thoughts were completely paralysed, I was in a state of celebration on the birth of my first child and grief at the same time, as was my creative thinking. I realised stress was a major contributor to my creativity block. During those times my mind felt just like a fused bulb. I just couldn’t think straight or progress an idea to its completion. But my reading habits were my saviour. Initially, I was unable even to read. I remember staring at a book for ages, not reading even a single word. Then gradually I started reading craft books to find a way-out, but it took long ten years.

Flyering Is Hard, But All Employees Should Do It
Every day, before Covid, I sed to flyer for 15 minutes at my startup. I would walk on sidewalks and speak with people as they sit on benches, stand at lights, stare into their phones, and stand idly while smoking.
