Why do many people continuously get trapped in the vicious circle of relationships based on infatuation? It is simple: they do not love themselves, and therefore they are willing to forfeit their individuality, including their wants and needs, just to have somebody in their life.

Back in 1999, I wrote my very first self-published book. I wrote it in Microsoft Word®, then took it down to Kinko’s to be copied and bound. I sold several of those books without one ounce of feedback—good or bad.

You've written a book. It's a great book. You know it's needed, that people would buy it. But you can't persuade a commercial publisher to agree.

Writers have long been considered eccentric on one level or another. Even in today's more isolated society, the concept of someone choosing to spend time alone is suspect. But to a writer is to be alone. As for the eccentricities, those are more a matter of the create mind finding creative solutions. Since writing is their biggest challenge, it follows that a writer's solutions may be the most eccentric. Even mad.

You hold in your mind an entire tale. Millions of facts and details sit there, waiting to be
written down. You want to share all this with your readers, who know absolutely nothing about
your tale before they begin to read. What do you tell them first? How can you introduce them to
all you have to say in a way that will grab their interest?
