I'm pumped to make good strides

 I haven't done much this period. However I feel excited to go on within the next few days and achieved so much results. I completed the Amazon course last night and from the last video, I got the impetus to begin to implement all the things that I've learnt so far. 


I think one of the major things that have been keeping me is this unwillingness to do the things that I'm supposed to do. I mean I know all there is to know about self-publishing. All the things that guy was teaching are not new to me. It's the daily implementations that has been lacking .

So what I want to do this time is to have a system to check and balance myself.  I want to be able to hold myself accountable for my actions and inactions.

I'm going to be doing a lot of writing for next week. I know it is next week that camp meeting is coming up but even in the midst of that I believe I can still find some minutes like during the break and after the program is closed for the day. I should be able to find some writing time in between all of that.


To imagine the coach is talking abo publishing of the 10 books every month . It was really  impressive.  Now is not as though I have not thought about something like this before but hearing another person's say it really makes so much sense.

If I can e meet that target of 10 books every month,  I see no reason why I wouldn't be making up to at least half a million Naira every month. Its very doable . It's just that I have to become more  forceful, become more diligent,  become more aggressive in doing this.


I hope I'll have the zeal to continually write those books that sells. Imagine that I went to to pay N50k for things I already know. That's unforgivable. This happened  because I refused to implement. 

If I have been implementing so far,  I would have known that I'm I'm up to that level already, such that I wouldn't need another course. 

This is a wake up call for me.

Completed a short story ghostwriting gig

I spent the early hours of the morning mopping the house. With the pseudo-harmattan, there were ash remains on the verandah and it had found the way into the living room. After that, I showered and then tried to put on the writing cap. It didn’t flow. I had a deadline to meet and words didn’t want to come. It wasn’t even the main work. I wanted to do the outline so I could go on a stretch when I begin. It wasn’t until late in the afternoon that I told myself I’d just write. That’s when the fountain started flowing. It reminded me of what Stephen Kings said about amateur writers waiting for inspiration ‘while the rest of us get up and do the work.’ So, I wrote. It was a slow process. That’s quite understandable as I haven’t been writing fiction in a while. I believe I’ll pick up speed as I progress. I want to get this posted before 12am.i might come back to add more content.  So, I ended up writing 2500+ words today.

Traveling again

 I was on the road for most of the day. I left the house by 8am. The bus didn't get filled on time. So, I had to wait until about past 11am. The journey was fast but dull.  I chewed gums almost the whole day. I was awake for most of the journey. However, just the few minutes I shut my eyes proved crucial as I missed the turn I was supposed to come down and had to pay another fare (10% of original fare) to return.  I will leave my parent's early tomorrow. I have article works to take care of. I'm barely 20% done.  It's 11:08 pm now. I need to wake up by 6:00am. There's so much to do, I don't even know if I should try to stay awake.  My mouth hurts from the places I bit my tongue while chewing the gum. I discovered chewing gums helps one stay awake. I wonder if I can begin using it. Are there other ways to stay awake at night? Maybe I should Google it immediately I finish this update.  In other news, I've finished the book I've been working on for almost t...

Articles. Lots of them

 Article works keep coming in and to think I'm getting peanuts from them. It's time to take a stand. Don't you think so? I should get back to writing for myself.  A new title to write about just came and I haven't even written the last two. Pathetic! That's my thoughts. I should get over this immediately.  I will write this last badge and then, focus solely on getting some book writing done.  I'm at book 5 of Harry Potter. Thought you'd never ask. It brings back so many memories. Got to go now!
