Amazon paperback

After nearly a year since I published the ebook version of MY LEA, I finally did its Amazon paperback version. Woot!

The process is not as scary as I thought it would be. I encountered a few minor problems which were resolved right away by the Createspace team. Phew!



MY LEA paperback is now available through Amazon. Go check it out :)

My Dream, His Dream

This weekend, one of my close friends sent her eldest son
off to college. She’s not the first one to do so among my friends and family,
and surely there’s nothing out of ordinary in sending our kids to college, but
hers is the first one that made me think and feel. 



My friend's dream was for her son to pursue a career in medicine, to
become a doctor or something in this line of business. Her

MY LEA paperback

How To Survive Editing

Very simple.



1. Leave your ego at the door. As matter of fact, divorce your ego. Trust me. Your work will THANK YOU.



2. Break it up into parts. Don't count the red marks all at once. Unless you're a  masochist.

The first one shows a green caterpillar that transforms herself into a beautiful  (featherly) butterfly.
The next one shows seed in a garden that transform into a tall tree. She used real leaves to make that tree.
