Fearless Passion, was written because I make a career shift from being an accountant to an animator. As I was writing the book, I'm still not an animator yet. It's only when the book is about to publish that I get hired as an animator.
It was challenging to give up a well-paid job to pursue my passion for animation. I wanted to document this major event in my life to remind and motivate myself whenever I meet obstacles along the way. Also, I hope that others get inspired to do what they love.

Definitely daily events. There are so much things and lessons I get out from life daily that I'm not even fast enough to put them down in words. Life is beautiful. I learn so much about myself and the world each day.
Other than that, I love to travel, watch movies or tv programs and listen to music to get inspirations.

If you are referring to my role as an writer, currently I'm just writing posts on my blogs:
- www.nerdycreator.com (a personal blog that shares my inspiring thoughts)
- www.fearlesspassion.com (a blog to help creative people be successful in their lives)
I do have plans for a second book. I may be writing smaller kindle books before I write my second book. But basically, just taking a break now from book writing. And focus on marketing my first book, Fearless Passion.
Apart from writing, I'm currently working as a character animator. My first step in the animation industry. Wish me all the best! haha...

The best thing about being a writer is that I'm able to connect and share with my readers.
If you read chapter 9 of my book, Fearless Passion, you know that I have low self-esteem in the past. When I was much younger, I write to encourage myself. Now that I have a higher self-esteem, I don't have to encourage myself that much. Instead, I'm directing my writing towards other people and encouraging others with my words. It feels good to bring positivity into our people's lives.

I feel that writer's block is a myth. Our minds are constantly blathering about something. If you just let you thoughts flow into words on paper without censoring and filtering it, you would never get a writer's block.
Of course, some content may not be useful for a post or a book but keep the flow coming and you will keep writing. :)
