Where I Find Inspiration for My Writing By Michael Okon
Where I Find Inspiration for My Writing
By Michael Okon
I write full time. It’s my job. It pays the bills. Like any job, I have to bring my A game if I want to succeed. This means constantly coming up with ideas for new books. You’d think I’d run out of them after a while, but so far I’ve been able to stockpile a file folder full of book topics. And that’s the key – keeping a stockpile of ideas on hand for those times when the thoughts just won’t come. How was I able to accumulate so much information? If you’re an author, you’ll understand. You see story ideas in just about everything. Read More

Pearl, MD by Marie Bartlett (Book Review #29)
This book revolves around the time where a woman was not welcome to have a profession other than being a housemaid. Men were dominating and made decisions for them, and if one decided to beat the social norm, such as Pearl, they choose to make her life unbearable, in hopes to push her into just giving up. Even women were jealous of Pearl’s success for doing something different.
Pearl is a physician in the nineteenth-century society. It is at the time and age where women doctors are not taken seriously, and African Americans are not treated with the same right as others. Treating them as a patient is unacceptable and hiring them as an assistant is profound upon and bad for business. Read More
