I love reading and writing. I was mostly inspired by Wilbur Smith. I read every single one of his books when I was growing up. I had a love of writing when I was at school but I never did anything with it. I even spent years putting content together for a book but never finished it. Then, 4 years ago, I suddenly found it easy and did my first book. I loved it and did a second and now here we are, my third book is done and almost ready to be launched.

I have recently finished my latest book called Billion Dollar Hack. I am very excited about this as it is by far my best book and an amazing story. You're going to love it. I am just working on editing it and then will start work on a launch date and promotion.

Just start. Sit down and just write. Don't worry about what you are writing. Don't overthink it. Write whatever comes to you. You can always edit it afterward or give it more direction further down the line. You are either writing or you are not writing. There is no in-between. It takes focus and commitment to actually write and finish a book. Set the same time aside every day and avoid distractions.

Writer's block is mostly about either self-sabotage or you simply have too much else going on in your head or you are trying too hard. The joy and love of writing is natural. If you fight it, then you will get blocked. Trying writing at different times of the day. For me, first thing in the morning works. Commit to getting up early and focus on writing.
