THE MAC LOGAN CERIFICATION TO THRILL
ACCEPT WHO YOU ARE!
Hello Everyone
The Mac Logan Certification to Thrill acknowledges Nigeria's Independence Day. Nigeria is now 65 years of age since it let go of Britain's colonial rule. That's no small feat. Ever since that happened there have been changes, challenges, adaptations and that Nigerian grind to survive in the country no matter what.
For instance, the Nollywood Industry has dramatically undergone a great change from when it first started. They've practically joined the streaming bandwagon and have followed in the footsteps of tv and film conglomerates to make their name heard and seen on such streaming networks like Netflix. And they keep coming up with new concepts to renovate the industry.
I'm sure with the advent of Social media and the Internet these days there have equally been numerous changes in the book industry over there as well. And a good number of charities and NGOs are jumping on board to promote short stories, different genres, non fiction books to develop communities, creative writing workshops and the list goes on. But, I guess that's how you develop yourself and become number one so.....
ACCEPT WHO YOU ARE AND THE REST WILL FOLLOW
I hope this piece really finds you all well.
It's been a long while. However, there are reasons for not making contact. And one of them is simply because my attention has been steered in other creative directions.
One of them being to develop and write the newest gripping EXPENDABLE PI thriller. However, when saying all that I almost jumped out of my skin when someone I knew stopped me yesterday on the street as I was going to a scheduled meeting and asked politely, when was I going to bring back the man called JARRETT?
That really made me laugh. It also made me think. And then I came to the conclusion that I must set my standards high. I must learn to sell my products to readers who've become hardcore fans. I know there are readers around the world and more importantly, people who belong to the digital community who may want to network with my unique brand .
Therefore developing a roadmap for success to take me through certain channels in order to sell my work is now a core factor. I have to remind myself sometimes that I am a self publishing advocate and a local crime thriller author who chose to take up the pop up model route to sell my work. There have been no regrets whatsoever doing that.
RESEARCH AND KNOWLEDGE AND EMPOWERMENT are the key words to manifest my publishing dreams and aspirations so what are you waiting for? Jump on the bandwagon of LOVE AND INSPIRATION and become that champion that forges ahead no matter what. Remember never take what you do for granted. And, remember there are a thousand and one ways of making your voice or your writing showcased via the Self Publishing space.
STAY SAFE!
