What’s something you’ve done that you never thought you could?
This won’t be a long post today considering I have a horrible sore throat and I am actively working on the next book in the Truson S.E.T. Series.
I wrote and self-published my first book in 2019 after years of rejection. That will be one of the greatest accomplishments I have ever achieved in my life.
There were others but I won’t talk about it today.

How do you manage stress?
I manage stress through reading and writing. It has always been this way with me when the world becomes too much. I love to read and immerse myself into the many fantasy worlds in a book or just create my own when it comes to writing my books as well.
That’s it. That’s all.

The advice to my younger self: Don’t give up.
Don’t give up when someone tells you ‘no’
Don’t give up when they say you are not good enough.
Don’t give up when the odds feel impossible
Have faith in yourself and what you do
There will be a day where that success will come when people will know who you are.
Whatever you do, don’t give up.

What’s something you’ve done that your past self would be proud of?
Back when I was younger, I clearly thought that I would spend the rest of my days writing books as a hobby. I thought that was what authors did. I knew that the books were available in bookstores but I thought it would be impossible for me to ever turn it into a career.
Until I started reading romance novels that is.
Once I started reading them, I couldn’t get enough. I wanted to see who the authors were and when their next books were coming out. Then I looked up the publishers and found out just how much money they were making.
That’s when I wanted to turn it from a hobby into a full time career.
Unfortunately, it didn’t happen right away. I tried the traditional publishing route when it came to the Truson S.E.T. series. After multiple rejections for both the young adult and adult versions of An Orman’s Revenge, I felt like my dreams were fading from me.
Until I decided to self-publish it.
Then another.
Then another.
So, now I am sitting at five books with two on the way in 2027. After all of this, I would tell my younger self that your dream will finally come true and that you will become a published author.
Just not in the way you expect
And even though it may not be a lot to other writers, it will mean a lot to you. You will receive a sticker to reward you for your hard efforts when it comes to working on your first book.
Don’t give up. Your dream will come someday.

I remember this day quite well. My life was not where I wanted it to be.
