It also focuses more on mental health awareness around anxiety, different types of OCD, and depression.

I'm also writing a batch of new short stories that are Greek at their core. I'm always submitting others to small presses and magazines of fiction, so hopefully, I'll come back with news of my fiction getting published soon. (less)

Don't be hard on yourself--self-publishing through Amazon is also a viable choice for you. We need to chase the publishing market by demonstrating willpower and determination--all voices need to be heard, and we shouldn't put away ESL authors. Self-pubbing allows you this freedom.

Love your work and treat it with care. Approach everything with humility. Take time off when needed. (less)

Neil Gaiman
“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”
Neil Gaiman, Coraline

“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.”
Toni Morrison

Friendship ... is born at the moment when one man says to another What! You
“Friendship ... is born at the moment when one man says to another "What! You too? I thought that no one but myself . . .”
C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

Steve Jobs
“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
Steve Jobs

Suzanne Collins
“You love me. Real or not real?"
I tell him, "Real.”
