It all started back in 2004 when I published my first book called “Beauty Secrets for Girls.” Two years later, I published my second book called “Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late.” I was always fascinated with health and personal development; naturally, my first two books were on these two topics. The third book I published was “Level 1: Finance for Students.” This is the third topic with which I am fascinated.
My Parents
My mother had written a book right before I published my first book in 2004, and I wanted to write one, too. So I did. My parents were amply encouraging with my writing. At the beginning of my writing career, my mother helped me: get my books into book stores, book public speaking engagements, and sell books.
My father was pivotal in my writing career; he helped me become aware of the amazon self-publishing platform, and from there, my writing career was reborn in 2016.
Before Amazon KDP
Before I learned about the Amazon self-publishing platform, I self-published paperbacks, wrote for ehow.com, teensforjc, journaled, and wrote music (I play the piano). Between 2007–2016, I did not publish any books, but I did teach music (piano and guitar).
What Writing Does For Me
I find writing magical. It’s not only a form of expression; it’s a state of being. There is a writing zone where I find myself completely lost; those are the best moments with writing (no, it’s not always like this, so I cherish the many moments I do experience this).
Writing is a passion, a hobby, a job, an outlet, a form of expression, a dance, a creative activity, an escape, a craft, a savior, and a purpose. Writing is my way of giving back to the world. When I’m angry about something, I write. When I’m obsessed with something, I write. When I learn something, I write. When I hear a great story, I write. When I need to share knowledge, I write.
I love the planet Mars; it’s so captivating. As a kid, I was always in the library (even into adulthood), so I loaned a book on Mars and re-wrote the whole book with a pencil on a road trip. I loved to write. I always have.
Where Do I Collect Content?
My content comes from everyone and everything I encounter. I never run out of content because every day of my life — including some of my dreams — is content. I even use “The Walking Dead” show as content. Many of my blogs are lessons I learned from the day (I try to learn at least one thing daily).
My Publishing Journey
In 2004, I published my first book. In 2006, I published my second book. Between 2007–2015, I did not publish a SINGLE book. I did write some books that are now published; I also wrote a lot of poetry (which I threw away…sad face). In 2016, I published 2 more books. In 2017, I published 10 books. In 2018, I published 3 books. In 2019, I published 18 books. In 2020, I published 200+ books. The rest is history.
What Do I Write?
I write on many things. I have so many thoughts stuffed into this brain, so I find it impossible to be a one-topic/genre writer; I never will be. I have too many interests — as you will see below — to stick to one thing:
Personal Development
Personal Finance
Affirmations
Career
Health/Wellness
Detoxing
Fitness/Bodybuilding
Education
Dogs
Addiction
Beauty/Skin
Courses
New Thought/Philosophy
Feminism
Civil Rights
Poetry
Giving Back
My voice, my words, and my thoughts are all ways to give back to communities. I was trying to find a way to give back every day to society — outside of my blogs — and I finally came up with an idea: I would give free books away daily on amazon for the rest of my life. So that is one way I give back. Each day you will find free books when you visit my Amazon author page on various topics. Some days there will be a handful of free books available, and other days, you will lose count of the free books available. It’s essential for me to give back positive words and vibes into the lives of many.
