I think its very therapeutic, for some people it can be spiritual, but for me, I enjoy telling the story.
How many books have you written so far?
I have written 2 before this one, but they are rough cuts. This one is my first published book however, there will be more. Like I mention before, the 2 previous will be updated and added to the collection and I have 3 more in the brainstorm phase. Along with a short story.
What’s the best way to market your books?
Word of mouth, sharing links, promotional marketing and putting myself out there and letting people know about it.
How hard or easy is it to establish and maintain a career in writing?
I think there are plenty of opportunities to become a writer. I’m not sure where my writing will take me, but I do know I love sharing my stories with others, and what better way then to share them than to write about it.
What is your advice for aspiring writers?
Don’t force a story, the stories will come when they are needed, and Never give up on your dreams, it just takes patience and determination. You can do anything you put your mind to.
