Corey D. Stephen's Blog: Life Of A Writer

I'm setting a date for July 9th to release my 3rd book, "Cupid's Resignation Book Two". Be on the lookout for updates and news about the book. Thank you all for your support!

I’m all for supporting other authors. It's tough being an indie author. At my job, my new manager is a published author who has written two(possibly more) cookbooks. I finally saw them today & the appearance of the 2 cookbooks was pitiful. She doesn’t cook at all and she never washes her hands. Worse of all, when I tell her I want/need time off to work on my own books, she doesn’t want to give me time off. Instead, all she does is try to convince me; I need to be working rather than writing. Yet, I don’t need money! As a published author, I care more about my books than I ever will about a part-time job. I don’t care about the money either. I don’t care who you are, don’t encourage somebody that’s working on their dreams to change their path to something that is not meant for them.

Through life, you'll have to make tough decisions that could cost you in the long run. A lot of people don't realize what it takes to do things you don't want to do to get something you've never had. Or even to do something for the sake of someone else so they can be happy or healthy. I've made sacrifices in my life that cost me valuable things like my time, happiness, and sometimes my health. My health is the 2nd most important thing to me... Giving up something in that nature can bring you down especially when you're going through things at the moment. I started to see that in order for my life to change, I had to go through these ups and downs to mold me into the person I am today. I'm not the type of person to give up! With that being said, I'm growing more and better each day I wake up. I'm grateful for everything from the past up to this moment now! I will always be willing to make the right sacrifice to get to where I need/want to be!

Are there any beta readers here on GoodReads? I'm just wondering in case I decide to recruit one. I think it may be a good idea to have one that I trust. Maybe..... We'll see how the nest days to come goes!

I have a new book coming out on May 1st. It's a book about relationships, dating, and happiness. For any readers who would be interested please find me on Facebook, Instagram, and Amazon.

Cupid's Resignation Book One

Hello, authors and readers! I had a thought come to my mind, so I figured I would ask you all. What're the types of genres do you like to read/write? What are some subjects you would like to read/write about? Feel free to let me know!

Do you ever feel like you're all alone? Like you may have friends, but yet you still feel alone. Friends keep you from being lonely of course. Have you ever been in a relationship and still felt alone? Yeah, it's crazy to experience that type of situation. Like you might as well be single, right? But being alone and being lonely are 2 very different things. Being alone makes things seem like there's no one there for you. Many people may not understand you. Even if you try to explain to them, they still don't understand. Why is it like that though? All you have is you most of the time of your life. That can be boring and depressing at times. I feel like the only way to handle moments of feeling alone is finding the positive sides of it. Most of the time, it's better to be alone than it is to be surrounded by people. If you can handle being alone, then you can basically handle anything. Just because you're alone doesn't mean you're weak, but it can definitely make you stronger over time and that's the important thing.

I'm officially on GoodReads now as an author. I'm glad to be here. This is a great website. I would love to meet new friends/followers here. Let me know what interests you all may have. Thanks for being an amazing fan!
