YEAH! This is COMING. SO, GET READY FOR A BLAST!

THE TRUE PATH TO A SUCCESSFUL SELF PUBLISHING PLATFORM

HALLO EVERYONE,

I can't believe the EASTER holidays have come and gone. 

How did you spend it guys? 

I spent the festive season reflecting, praying, thinking, and working on my business plan. I also decided revisit my mission statement too. 

However, before the holidays I took up some free courses and decided to volunteer for an Adult Learning Centre in Woodgreen to help adults learn English and speak it properly, 

Yes. I have been volunteering as an ESOL teacher at this leaning centre and I have been supervised by the best in there, I'm sure at some point I did mention I was a trained teaching professional and just like anyone else I like making sure my eye's on the ball. In other words  

I am aware of what goes on in the teaching profession or training world. 

The acronym ESOL simply means English for speakers of other languages. Anyway, this is just to say I'm back on the saddle again and looking forward to continue my exploits with my Creative Mechanics & Adventure writing (CMAW!) free funnel event at places like Coombes Croft Library and other outlets. 

I'm swinging back into action on the 4th of May. 

I will be discussing the true path  to build a successful self-publishing platform. I am also going to bring along some experts to talk about their experiences in alignment with the big world of self-publishing. It's going to  be eye popping and FUN! 

So, gear up people and come and learn. And more importantly come and find out where you fit in with this colourful event and the M.A.W! masterclass programme. For that is coming back. And, its going to be really exciting and EXPLOSIVE.

STAY SAFE!

CHIMA

NB: I can tell you one thing I enjoyed doing during the holidays. It was watching on telly the newest version of the hit musical JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR starring JOHN LEGEND and ALICE COOPER among other stars. I thought Andrew Lloyd Webber the creative genius behind this musical had done it again. It was bloody good. In fact, bloody brilliant!    

 

HALLO EVERYONE,

GUESS WHAT? M.A. W! is COMING BACK

I just wanted to let you ALL know that on the 24th of February M.A.W!'s flagship writing programme dubbed the Creative writing and Self Publishing  Format is back at Coombes Croft Library for a two hour run of the mill showcase to enable aspiring local writers and experienced ones  work on their craft effectively and self publish their work without any hinderances or extra cost. 

It's a tough world out there but with grit and determination anyone can do this. I believe if anyone can muster any courage they can truly pull this off. The realisation is that some aspiring authors always think they're at a great disadvantage when starting out. That's not true. 

So, if you're willing to learn about your writing in general, your genre, and become aware of other approaches as how best to deal with your writing or finished product. Then prepare to be furnished with the right information. That's because I will share what I know with you lot. 

I'm not a one stop shop. But, I guess I've developed strategies to sell my work and I've garnered experience along the way and that's always helpful. So, are you guys ready to join me in order to take the next step in your writing journey and explore the various options that come with very rewarding features? Remember this everybody: the hard work starts when you have the finished product in your hand. But, how do you really get your work out there for other local authors to see including the world?

Once again come and learn the intricate details of  writing, self publishing and promoting your work. And when doing that come learn how to have fun with it. The MECHANICS of ADVENTURE WRITING will be back soon with more surprises and exciting talks. Don't miss it. And, STAY SAFE!   

            

                                             ONE MORE MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB

 Happy New year EVERYONE

This is my first time back from the holiday festive season. I really haven't done any writing. But, I have been planning. And that's essentially the core of what I need to do in order to prepare and focus on what needs my utmost attention where my creativity or my writing work is concerned for this year.  

This brings one to ask whether the flyer above indicates if there really is one more mountain to climb?

  Due to a football match that took place at the Tottenham stadium on a noted date I wasn't able to pull off doing a workshop. I simply had to cancel it. This was also because of the crowds that were trying to avoid the traffic that happened on the day. So, here I am once again standing tall and ready to train  others on how to write and self-publish their work. And setting a reminder for myself that I should not do a workshop on a football date.

I had came across the song 'One more mountain to climb' while watching an episode of Walker, Texas Ranger on the telly.  I believe  as long as I am alive and healthy I have one more mountain to climb so come one come all on the 24th of February. Come have fun. And come learn something you didn't know while doing it.

STAY SAFE!

 

THE 16th OF DECEMBER STILL MARKS THIS SPOT!

SEASONS GREETINGS EVERYONE

Welcome to the coolest Flagship showcase event  to end the year 2023 courtesy of my  MECHANICS, CREATIVE WRITING & SELF PUBLISHING FORMAT. Now, would you like to know about the following on the marked date which is the 16th of December at Coombes Croft Library based in Tottenham? 

Do you want to learn how to navigate your writing as a self-published author? And, would you like to learn to promote and pitch your writing  to others in order to  gain recognition? 

Are you a self published author finding it difficult to showcase your work? Or are you one of those self published authors finding it really hard to distinguish the self publishing concept from the traditional publishing one?

Finally, are you an author finding it hard to set up a marketing plan with a strategy? 

If I could learn to do all this with my first crime fiction novel SNAKE AMONGST SHADOWS I bet you can.  I really believe this particular programme under this formatted session is for YOU. And, guess what? its all FREE. Come and learn the enhanced system I use to navigate my own fiction writing. I will also use this system  in the year 2024. More importantly come and be YOURSELF.

So, come one. Come ALL.

let's laugh and unlock the DOOR.

Hey STAY SAFE!

NB: Remember the venue is at Coombes Croft Library N17 8AG and the time set out for this starts at 1pm and ends at 3pm on SATURDAY the 16th December. COME and attend this FLAGSHIP programme for nothing more but knowledge.

 

 SATURDAY  DECEMBER 16 MARKS THE SPOT AND THAT CONFIRMS THE DECIDING MOMENT. I AM GOING FOR GOLD!

The free Creative writing and Self-publishing spectacle was a winner according to some people who attended the Writing Programme. And, that's probably why management at Coombes Croft Library petitioned it should be showcased there again, Anyway, I never had a doubt in my mind whether I had a winner on my hands. But, in this business of E&E meaning Education and Edutainment one should never be cocky. What you have is a gift and you are meant to share it with those who really want to learn. Learn what they need to know in order to be true masters of their craft.

I've got some decisions to make and I've got some options to look at. The bottom line is this: Make all this work again  at Coombes Croft Library which is based in Tottenham on the High Road in London. The postcode is N17, 8AG.

The tester. The spectacle whatever YOU decide to call it has now become a classic example of what's to come and is now part of a staple included under my primary  writing course which  is  now  christened THE CREATIVE, MECHANICS of ADVENTURE WRITING FLAGSHIP PROGRAMME. So, come December 16 we get to do this again and in style too. Come one. Come ALL. And, let the games BEGIN.

I'm going for GOLD this time. That's because I've added some bits to my repertoire and there will be more guest speakers on the SHOW. Yes. People have been invited on this free programme to talk about their writing journey. I guess Saturday, December 16 marks the spot and that confirms the deciding moment. To steal the show on the day and get more bums on seats so that we can continue to bring more shows  like the coolest Masterclass on the planet. And that's M.A.W! The MECHANICS of ADVENTURE WRITING Masterclass.

I can't believe it's nearly Christmas. The holiday season is definitely around the corner.  HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS EVERYONE.  

NB: In 2024 GOD WILLING there will be more exciting M.A.W! Masterclass programmes. So hang tight. Don't go anywhere. And, before I forget to say this I bumped into a female Rattlesnake fan two days ago who jokingly said to me, 'It would be criminal not to think that the Expendable PI was not a criminal. He behaves like one'.  I laughed out loud and said, 'The Rattlesnake is not a criminal. But, he thinks like one. And that's why he's dangerous.  

THE EXPENDABLE PI will RETURN SOON.  

STAY SAFE!                                                                

 THE CREATIVE WRITING  AND SELF-PUBLISHING TESTER WAS A HIT

I wasn't expecting much to happen when I walked through the library doors of Coombes Croft last  Saturday which was the 28th October 2023. I had some concerns since I knew the event wasn't promoted properly. I was not aware of much happening and I didn't see people ask or sign up for the event when I went to the library in the last few days. So, I was secretly praying for a miracle to happen  as I set up to begin this new showcase there.

Anyway, on that faithful day a woman came into the library and asked about the event and then wandered off to do her own business. As the clock ticked and as the time drew near to unveil this new product a few people walked in and took seats. They were middle aged men. And they were obviously interested in the event otherwise they wouldn't be here. When I had allowed that thought to sink in I believed that was my cue to start the show. And I did by introducing myself and what I was going to do. I simply had two hours to convince these people in the room that they could achieve the almost impossible if they were given the right tools to write their book and self- publish their own work. The event started at 1pm and ended at 3pm that day. 

All in all the session not only achieved a satisfactory outcome. It was marginally considered a successful hit by certain standards. That's because the participants thought my presentation was well-prepared and well presented.  They also thought it was engaging, enlightening and exciting. The same participants also thought I should do the pilot programme again before doing it at another notable library in the borough of Haringey.

There's been some good news since then. I've just been given the go ahead by the Coombes Croft library manager to do this again. So I guess its time business picked up. This time with a proper promotion in the works. I won't take my eye off the ball this time. Remember, the aim is to get new clients for my Mechanics of  Adventure Writing mentorship programme. It sounds funny to say this. But I guess there's some truth to it. Halloween has come and gone. And I'll be damned if I don't make a positive stride with my new found resource at Coombes Croft Library.  So no more fun and games. Its time to repackage this product and get results. And, that reminds me of something.  Mac Logan the Expendable P.I and the protagonist of my SNAKE AMONGST SHADOWS book series  will soon RETURN for more mystery, action and adventure. I guess the ungodly had better watch out.

STAY SAFE!
