The Creative Writing Industry

It's a while since I wrote anything about my books. I first got into blogging by accident when months in and I found out about Cerebral Palsy for the first time. Since then I have gone on to write 3 books and have been published three times. Roll on to 2023 and the creative writing industry looks and feels different to when I first started writing my first book.

Brexit has hit the creative industries including the book and animation industries The UK had already got Brexit done and then the world spiralled into a pandemic. And while the book industry was ticking over, the book industry is changed and the independents are struggling to get their voices heard.

Social media is awash with authors trying to get their books out I can't speak for other authors on their experiences, but I can walk you through my experiences. Social media is awash with independent authors trying to get their books out to anyone who will pay them attention.

Unless you're a celebrity your voice goes unheard. My books are no exception, but they also deal with mental health and mental health is being ignored worldwide.

My 'Books'

When I first penned pen to paper to write 'Cerebral Palsy: A Story' I made the decision to support mental health charities. I have stuck to my word, but haven't scratched the surface. My two other books include my healing story, 'Spirituality, Healing and Me' and then when the pandemic struck I wrote a third book about Covid called, Survival: 'The Covid Years.' If you're interested in dealing with how you feel, your mental health and you fancy grabbing copies of my books, they are available to purchase on my website here https://www.thecpdiary.com/my-books/

Release today!

Seventy Times Seven is a powerful and thought-provoking book exploring a tragic event in Gary, Indiana, in 1985. The story follows the life of Paula Cooper, a young black girl who commits a violent crime against an elderly white Bible teacher named Ruth Pelke. As the city deals with racial tensions and Paula is sentenced to death, the victim's grandson, Bill Pelke, forgives her and works to save her life.

The story of their friendship and the question of forgiveness in the face of violence spark a global debate about the value of human life and the true meaning of justice. This haunting and unforgettable story brings to life a dark part of the criminal justice system's history and makes us think about how far we can go to show empathy.

Our story begins with our mothers'- for when she is conceived, one half of us is already present in her. Metaphorically, yes? But let's come down to the bare bones. A girl is born with all the eggs she will ever have- we are a part of our mothers long before we become an idea, a desire, a wish. I've avoided picking this book for the longest time; I am known to cry copiously, especially at emotionally charged words. And an ode to a dead mother who ends her life at 51 years was certainly going to have me weep buckets. It didn't. Handke writes about his mother seven weeks after her death-in parts to make sense of this loss & to capture the entirety of 'her'. So he begins- she as a child, as a young woman learning the vocabulary of this world, a wife, a mother, an essential but ignored limb of the society, a matron who finds herself (better late than never) to only realise just how late that is & then… I didn't know there were controversies around Handke. This work, though, is just a testimony to love felt and experienced. This pithy German book, mere 78 pages, is held down by the beauty of the prose. Grief has words and more than wrenching your heart out- they wipe the muck off our vision. If sadness were words- A Sorrow Beyond Dreams would be those. And what it really says is… It's already too late, it's already too less. Go tell your mother you love her. #peterhandke #asorrowbeyonddreams #germanbooks #pushkinpress #nobelprizeliterature #austrianliterature #translatedliterature #translatedbooks #delhibookstagrammer #indianreaders #bookstagramindia #addictedtobooks #coffeeandbooks #bookishthoughts #neverwithoutabook #nonfictionreads #nevernotreading #januaryreads #2023readingchallenge #indianbookstagrammer #mumbaibookstagram (at India) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn8b4EzLM6q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I'm definitely enjoying some weekend time to read while the hubby works on a computer project. The illustrations and stories in Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh are hilarious. #bookstagram #alliebrosh #hyperboleandahalf #nonfictionreads #funnybooks #graphicnovel #autobiography #winterreads #christmasreads https://www.instagram.com/p/CmDN3hcrmrs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🗳️ ELECTIONS 2022 + MINI BOOK REVIEW 🗳️ Q: Are you registered to vote, and do you have a plan to vote on or before Nov 8? If not, is there anything I can do to help you and/or facilitate you registering and voting? (Or for my non-US friends, do you considtently participate in elections in your home country?) It's hard to believe, but midterm election day in the US is just *two weeks* from today! Many states, like my state of NC, are in early voting mode already. If you follow me, it's not too hard to figure out what side of the political divide I'm on, but I'm really not advocating for one side or the other right now -- I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO VOTE. Don't ever let anyone tell you your vote doesn't count or discourage you from voting! Take 2 or 3 friends with you when you register and/or vote, and, if you're a parent, let your kids see you participating in the process every single election so that they grow up becoming active citizens in this democracy. These are some of the lessons included in Stacey Abrams' OUR TIME IS NOW, which we read for #nonfictionfactionbuddyreads in September. She also discussed her 2018 run for Georgia governor and the efforts of her organization, Fair Fight Action, to register tens of thousands of new voters in the state. She is an absolute force to be reckoned with and so incredibly knowledgeable about the intricacies of elections and the political process. I listened to the audiobook for this, which was read by Abrams herself and was fantastic. Thanks to @torriereadsalot for recommending I listen and for starting me on this audiobook journey!! (I listened to 3 in Sept and have already listened to 8 in October! Who am I?!) I highly recommend this book, especially if you want to fire up yourself or someone else in the last stretch before midterms. 🗳️ 🗳️ 🗳️ #staceyabrams #staceyabramsforgovernor #staceyabramsforgov👍🏽 #staceyabramsforgagovernor #staceyabramsfairfight #ourtimeisnow #ourtimeisnowstaceyabrams #nonfiction #nonfictionbooks #nonfictionreads #nonfictionlisten #audiobook #audiobookstagram #nonfictionfaction #bookreview #bookreviews #bookreviewer #bookreviewersofinstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagrammers https://www.instagram.com/p/CkJFMrxrEoM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

📓 “The truth is that you have battery chargers everywhere, and I’m here to help you find them.”

The Power of Downstate is my first nonfiction read in a while. I loved reading this so much. Sara Mednick has an accessible way of teaching the wonders of the brain.

Thanks to a trip to my new library, I found it sitting on the shelf.

The book is in sections to explain how to tap into restorative energy. The first part is about getting the right ratio. This was fascinating. It explained the balance needed to restore energy to the body. I loved learning about how the body syncs up to the brain.

🤍“What I’ve discovered is that the Downstate doesn’t just happen at the neural level in the ups and downs of slow-wave sleep. The truth is, there is a whole lotta Downstate everywhere you look, especially when awake.”

💭Still hanging onto the coattails of 2022, I am reluctant to say goodbye. After Covid, January feels too early to celebrate. March, people, March- that seems safe to decide the flavour of 2023.  George Orwell’s collection of Essays was an experience similar to reading Steinbeck’s Travels With Charley (If you haven’t read it, I recommend it)- the writing is taut, no frivolity of either words or ideas. The breadth of the collection isn’t limited to literature- it is decidedly political. His views about the Spanish Civil War, the politics of the English language take care of that. For someone who gravitates more towards the personal experience of living, Orwell’s memories of public school horrors (Such, Such Were The Joys), his account of ‘Shooting An Elephant’ as a police officer in Burma, and a not-so-brief discussion on Charles Dickens are uncompromising and entertaining. I favoured ‘Books Vs. Cigarettes’ & ‘Why I Write’ the most- two delightful compositions. The first is his proof through which he justifiably demonstrates that owning books isn’t an expensive hobby- the price of books is far less than the value one gets from them. ‘Why I Write’- well, why does anyone write? It’s a quirk of nature- like being right-handed or having a painful wart. But returning to Orwell: he takes us on his writing journey in a few words- “I wanted to write enormous naturalistic novels with unhappy endings, full of detailed descriptions and arresting similes, and also full of purple passages in which words were used partly for the sake of their sound.” Listen, just read that essay- it's insightful and honest, and if I were to talk about it more, I’d end up letting all the cats out. If you liked this, read: •Giving Up The Ghost •The Source of Self Regard-equally political and entertaining •What I Talk About When I Talk About Running •Slouching Towards Bethlehem •The View From The Cheap Seats #georgeorwell #nonfictionreads #shootinganelephant #nonfictionbookclub #nonfictionreads #essaycollection #delhireader #delhibookstagrammer (at India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnOUy1IL_FE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
