Hello, dear readers, The more I wrote, the more I read. I genuinely believe that if you want to become a good writer, you have to read. You start to understand the rhythm of writing, the way sentences flow together, how much detail brings a scene to life and when that detail starts weighing it down. And even as I say that, I think you can already see why I believe writing has completely ruined reading for me. In the best possible way, of course. 😀 There have been so many tim

Hello, dear readers, There are so many stages to writing and publishing a book that I never even knew existed when I started. Every single one of them taught me something, and every single one put me in a position where I had to face one fear or another. I think this article is really about the emotions that follow you throughout that entire process. Or at least, these are the ones that followed me. Let's start with actually writing the book. As I've said many times before, m

Hello, dear readers, Anyone who has ever written fantasy probably knows exactly what I'm talking about. I'm still waiting for a SWAT team to break down my door in the middle of the night demanding an explanation, while I'm standing there in my Hello Kitty pajamas, holding a cup of coffee and wondering how to make these fictional people listen to me. And if I'm being completely truthful, I'd probably end up questioning the SWAT team about their tactics while they're there, bec

Hello, dear readers, If there's one article I hope my followers read, it's probably this one. And before you come after me with torches and pitchforks, let me explain. Every writing tip I share online is something I've learned over years of writing professionally. They aren't random opinions or rules I invented overnight. They're tools that have helped me write stronger stories, avoid common mistakes, and solve problems that almost every writer encounters at some point. But h

Hello, dear readers, If you've spent any time in writing communities, you've probably seen the statistics. Around 80% of people dream of writing a book someday, but only a small percentage ever begin. Of those who do start, only a fraction finish their manuscript, and even fewer go on to publish it. I've never cared much about statistics. And I don't think you should either. Writing a book isn't a competition. It isn't a mathematical equation that tells you how likely you are

Hello, dear readers, Get ready, because this post is going to be a little different from my usual ones. As I sat here wondering what on earth I should write about this time, I realized something. The problem isn't that I'm running out of topics. The problem is that I censor myself. Because let me tell you something, I may be a small human, but I have a very big mouth and even bigger opinions. 😄 But this is the internet, and we're constantly told to be careful about what we s

Hello, dear readers, Recently, I came across a post by a very well-known and respected fantasy author discussing book piracy. The post itself was thoughtful, respectful, and completely understandable. What genuinely surprised me, however, was the comment section. Thousands of people were explaining why they believed piracy was justified. "Books are too expensive." "I read a lot, so I can't afford to buy every book." "Authors make enough money anyway." As I kept reading, I fou

Hello, dear readers, When I write for clients, my process is completely different. I follow a structure. I explore their ideas, ask questions, take notes, and carefully plan before I begin writing. Everything I create is built on the skills I've developed over the past seven years as a ghostwriter. With The Puppet King, I threw all of that out the window. I started without an outline, without a clear idea of where the story was going, and without any real structure. I simply

Hello, dear readers, If you've ever spent time around writers, you've probably heard them say that, at some point, their characters start making their own decisions. It sounds strange. And honestly, if it hadn't happened to me, I probably wouldn't have believed it either. But there are moments when it feels as though my hand isn't inventing the story, it's simply writing it down. As if someone is quietly whispering it to me. When I started writing The Puppet King, I was in my

Hello, dear readers, I think I'm probably starting to annoy everyone by talking about characters all the time. But this is a hill I'm willing to die on. Characters are what make a story interesting. Not because you can't have an incredible world, a fascinating magic system, or a perfectly crafted plot. Quite the opposite, those things matter, and they deserve a tremendous amount of respect. But at our core, we're all human. And people connect with other people. Wars begin bec

Hello, dear readers, While writing my debut novel, The Puppet King, I had to make a lot of difficult decisions. Every one of them cost me something. Some cost time. Some cost money. Some cost comfort. And some forced me to decide what kind of writer I wanted to be. The first difficult decision had nothing to do with the book itself. At the time, I was working as a ghostwriter while also holding a traditional job. There simply weren't enough hours in the day to write my own no

Hello, dear readers, One of my favorite things to write has always been dangerous characters. There is something incredibly fascinating about exploring all the layers of human nature and asking the question: what makes a person cross the line? But a dangerous character isn't necessarily a villain. In fact, in my novel The Puppet King, I wanted to explore different kinds of danger and the many ways a person can become frightening. The villain of my story, Harold, is dangerous

Hello, dear readers, This topic came from a comment I received recently: "Why do you write for other people and not get credit for it? Why don't you just publish your own books instead?" There are two answers to that question. The first, and most important one, is that ghostwriting is primarily about my ability to write, to structure sentences, and to bring emotions to life on the page. When I write someone else's book, it's their idea, not mine. It's their story. Their exper

Hello, dear readers, I chose today's topic based entirely on my mood. Not because it's popular. Not because it's educational. Not because it has amazing SEO potential for my website. I chose it because, before anything else, I am a writer. Yes, today I'm also a future author and a ghostwriter. I have a website. I create content for social media. I'm trying to build an audience and prepare my first novel for publication. But before all of that, I was simply someone who loved w

Hello, dear readers, When you're a ghostwriter, you have to treat every book as if it were your own. You give it the attention it deserves. You build it carefully. You invest enough thought and care into it that you can be proud of the final result. Because one of the most important responsibilities of a good ghostwriter is stepping into the client's mind and bringing their story to life as if they had written it themselves. And that requires a lot of conversations. A lot of

Hello, dear readers, As I like to say: Writing the book was the easiest part. Not because I didn't spend countless nights pulling my hair out while trying to figure out the story, the world, the characters, rewriting scenes, and wondering why something simply wasn't working. No, that part was incredibly difficult too. In fact, I think anyone who has finished writing a book is a hero. But then comes the next stage. The book has to reach people, and that's something I'm still l

Hello, dear readers, If you spend any time on social media and follow book-related content, especially BookTok, you've probably noticed something interesting. People rarely talk only about a book's plot. Instead, they talk about the characters. They create fan art of them. They admire them. They argue about them. They fall in love with them. The term "book boyfriend" wouldn't be nearly as popular if those characters weren't written so well. And that's a very good indication o

Hello, dear readers, I couldn’t wait to talk about this topic because this is truly my area of expertise. It’s literally the foundation of my writing style. Not just the fantasy genre itself, but the deep exploration of characters’ minds and psychology. That’s why you’ll often, almost always, see me writing in first-person POV, because for me it’s important to stay inside the character’s head the entire time, like a tiny dictator, exploring everything happening inside them. P

Hello, dear readers, This is one of my favorite topics to talk about because my work as a ghostwriter over the past seven years gave me the foundation to write a novel I’m genuinely proud of. Of course, while writing The Puppet King, there were moments when I was afraid, moments when I cried, and moments when I doubted my own abilities completely. But now that the book is finished and fully edited, it has become something I cannot wait to finally share with all of you. And ho

Hello, dear readers, Ever since I started building my social media platforms and website, more and more people have started reaching out to me. Some are readers interested in my upcoming debut novel The Puppet King, while others are writers trying to find their place in the world of storytelling. And I realized something very quickly, there is a huge amount of gatekeeping surrounding this career. Not only around becoming an author, but also around ghostwriting, which is somet
