Congrats OP!!!
My aim is to be an Author one day
Thanks breh
Its now or never with the focus. If you feel the urge to go for it, then go for it!
Yes the road is going to hard, the dedication is going to be crazy, and the self doubts are going to rise, but once you finished the book and hit publish. Its such a accomplishment. Like you actually created something for folks to read. Its a beautiful thing.
Last night, I managed to complete and published my first book. The road was frustrating, tiresome, and downright grueling but ya marsupial finally did it:
Walking Away From Paradise
Shared via Kindle. Description: <br /><i>A few years ago, I thought life could not get any better. I had a good paying job, my wife had a good paying job, my son went to one of the best schools in the county. We lived in an dream apartment, had a big car, a...read.amazon.com
I made this book during the time of probably the worst period of my entire life. Some of yall know bits and pieces of the story, but lets just say that my family and I downsized to be expats. We had the contract to go overseas, the passports, and etc. Sadly, Covid happened and a pissing contest between China and USA that ended the dream of traveling, along with killing my wife's gig as a English teacher. Throughout those two years, we struggled from hotel room to her in-laws house, endure revelations of our past, and felt the backstabbing and pain of being different.
This book damn neared killed me spiritually because once I published the book...I had to sell my laptop just to add nights to the hotel we are currently staying at. Quite frankly, I'm down bad but still not out.
For the reading brehs that want a good memoir and some poetry to the mix, enjoy. If you have Kindle Unlimited, holla at ya marsupial. If you want something for the kindle, I appreciate the support.
Share, pirate, whatever you may want with this book...just understand that this is my gift to yall. Yall are the real ones during this struggle. I made jokes, laugh, and cried with yall humans, but on the strength yall the only family I got beyond my wife and son.
So hope y'all enjoy this book and be on the lookout for the next one coming soon

Talk like you have a hot potato in your mouth, brehs. Couldn’t be North American animals.Never heard of Dictation software brehs
I spent the whole time trying to convince the speech recognition to type "I" and it kept saying "ARGHH!"
Frustrating experience

. I hope this thread motivates you to pursue such a blessing. Once you hit publish, the fears, anxiety, depression, self doubt, and lack of motivation is out the door. You officially made

I'm a writer too, OP. Thank you for sharing. I will support. I feel your pain just from your description and I understand... you may be down but not out. This feels like a story about the triumph of the human spirit. Michael B Jordan will play you in the movie.
