When I was Burning

He lit a fire and threw it at me
I didn’t realise but before I knew it,
that fire was all around me
It didn’t matter how much I tried to escape,
It didn’t make a difference how much I tried to protect myself
Or even tried to diffuse it,
Because he was right there adding fuel to it every day.

 

With time I started to burn… It was not a pleasant feeling
To be skinned alive

But he watched,
When I was burning…

Appreciating Self-Worth

How a person views and values himself will have a significant impact on almost everything a he/she does – the way one relates to others, the way one approaches activities, to the way one copes with adversity. This also has a marked effect on academic performance, notably motivation to learn, ability to focus and willingness to take risks. Thus, healthy self-esteem provides a firm foundation for learning as well as confidence, to name just a few.

This discussion will take a tour through the ho...

Finding Inner Peace

Figuring out what you want is not easy, what’s more, difficult is accepting it. If that’s such a hard thing to do then following it becomes either easy or difficult depending on your ‘want.’

You love someone, you know it — but to realize that you don’t just love anymore but are ‘in-love’ changes everything. It becomes an entirely different ball game. You are open to hundred options — the inevitable pro con list comes out, and you begin to weigh which side should be picked.

Suddenly the ‘hello...

Art of E-Book Self-publishing

I am not going to talk about writing tips here – but simply what this art of ‘self-publishing’ involves and the steps you will need to take.

Firstly, to produce an e-book, you need a manuscript that you are ready to submit and a great cover design. If you are one of those who prefer to do it all yourself and preferably for free then your next step would be to figure out which distributor suits you best. You have quite a few options to select from such as Smashwords, BookBaby, Lulu and Kindle...

Basics of ISBN

When you finish writing your book, the next natural step is to get it published.

Assuming you are thinking about self-publishing your manuscript, you will need to look for a company to buy an ISBN from.

An ISBN is a number that is internationally recognized in order to catalog your book. This began due to the issues when titles of the book were the same but their authors and content of books were different. So in order to solve this issue, numbers were assigned to the books.

Three Magical Words

George Elliot once wrote “I like not only to be loved, but also to be told I am loved”, which proves that we are all well aware of the importance of saying the three magical words of love. We know this because deep down we are pretty sure that if we don’t say it; our beloved will either never know how we feel or, if we don’t repeat it over and over again, he might just forget that we are still very much in love.

Nobody is perfect, period. If someone is claiming to be so, chances are that they...
