My Writing Journey
Writing has been my greatest passion since childhood. Like many young authors, I struggled with self-doubt and endured skepticism from family and friends. In my twenties, I pursued my other passion and earned a Ph.D. in neuroscience. Although I loved scientific research, the dream of becoming an author relentlessly haunted me. Despite persistent self-doubt, I never stopped writing.
My breakthrough came when I recognized that my background in science equipped me with valuable insights into the human mind and enhanced my storytelling skills. It gave me the confidence to finish two novels and submit them to publishers.
To my amazement, I received two offers, and several months later, I held my first “paper and ink baby.” Since then, I’ve authored numerous books across genres, and I’ve been making a full-time living as a writer. I’ve also had the joy of mentoring many writers who now enjoy fruitful careers.
You don’t need to be a literary genius, a celebrity, or a marketing expert to succeed as a writer. If there’s a secret to success, it’s this: Don’t aim to impress; aim to engage. Storytelling is the art of emotional exchange. To truly connect, you must be willing to share.
