I think my life is quite ordinary up till now. I’m different from a lot of people, and from the crowd. But I think that there is no mystery in that, in my life, that I would say it can be a plot for a book. However, I think there is the other “mystery” that can be for many plots of books. That’s the thing I’m on the journey to seek for. That’s my “own self”.
Till now, it’s quite a lot of mysterious for the thing I call “I” or “me”. And the more I find it out, the more I’ll write about it in my next several books. Those are the stories about my truth seeking journey which is equal to my happiness journey as well. It’ll address the most basic question of “Who am I?” Name, position, status, lifestyle, wishes, dreams, achievements, … are not enough. I am looking much more deep insight to see why I am being as I am now. That simple question is quite a big mystery worth many books’ content, I would think.

I am inspired by the things I have to deal with daily, the people I have to meet daily. So, my writing is the reflection of my life. That itself is a big source of inspiration already.

I learned that only 1% of us can finally publish a book. Author career is not suitable for everyone, certainly. So, if you think you want to pursue author career, I would suggest you first to get a lot of experience at work, in life in relevant areas that you want to write about. Secondly, you need to start writing small chunk, regularly, before you can become a real author. Start with journal, blog. Write it regularly on a weekly basis. Your "muscles" would be stronger day by day till it turns you to be an author before you know it.

I didn't think that I'll become an author one day like this. The more I write, the more I think I'm suitable for the career. And it needs to go through 20 years or so in the workforce, before I can have an enough depth to write stuff. The great thing for me is that I can write naturally and smoothly turning from thoughts to words.
