Glory Bishop is a contemporary fiction about a girl named Glory. She lives with her mom and is in love with JT. Her life is great, but she has a very controlling mother.

Bringing Down the House: Book Launch at Home by Pamela Becker
Bringing Down the House: Book Launch at Home by Pamela Becker
“What kind of party are you going to have?” a friend asked. It hadn’t occurred to me to make a party. But she was right. Publishing my first novel Memoirs of a False Messiah was definitely worth celebrating. So I ordered 50 author copies of my novel, set up an event page on Facebook, booked some catering, and bought lots to drink. I picked out a red dress that matched the dress my main character is wearing on the cover. Read More
If you’re born a lemon-head, make lemonade by John Manchester
If you’re born a lemon-head, make lemonade.
I.
Growing up my parents often smiled, saying, “You’re so smart!” It gave me a warm sensation in the pit of my stomach. Yet around the time I got to the point in school where they gave grades, that pleasurable sensation turned into a hard painful knot.
Self-doubt by Dennis Scheel
Self-doubt by Dennis Scheel
I can say with a wide certainty that 99% of writers have or have had some self-doubt in their writing at some point, some will have it worse than others. I, for example, have come a long way in the last few years. I had a girlfriend, who for ten years kept insisting that I had no talent in writing. She was so adamant about insisting it, that I believed it myself. So much even, that when I got the very first review on my first novel, (No way back: The Underworlds), I dreaded it being so bad, despite how much I spent on editor and proofreaders. I hoped it would be above two stars, it turned out to be five. Ironically it was one by Jeyran. That is my story in finding more confidence, I even got a finalist spot for my second one in a competition, something that helped too, yet I still, and always will have some self-doubt deep down my very core.
Manifesting Creativity by A’alia Zealous
Manifesting Creativity by A’alia Zealous
Ideas have no material body, but they do have consciousness, and they most certainly have will. Ideas are driven by a single impulse: to be made manifest. And the only way an idea can be made manifest in our world is through collaboration with a human partner. It is only through a humans effort that an idea can be escorted out of the ether and into the realm of the actual.
