Author for Life or for a Living? - A Self-help Manifesto for Writers & Poets

I don't know you, but I find it very difficult to be a writer at this time. 
It's daunting, depressing and very frustrating. 

Why do you write? 

• Is it for money? 
• Vanity? 
• A sense of accomplishment?
• Is it a test?

Whatever your reason is, you have the right to fight for your dream. 
This self-help book is for YOU! 
Buy it from Amazon in both electronic and paperback versions. 

***

Being an author has always been your dream, but everybody told you’re insane, right?

I know the feeling. 

The competition is ferocious, the readers are the leaders. It’s a grim time to be an author, but it’s also the perfect time.

I am here to tell that your dream is possible… if you work hard and never give up.

• Faith is what you need first.
• Self-esteem is second.
• Self-confidence comes with knowledge.

To build these, you need time, determination, and self-discipline.

You can be whatever you want to be.

---

Perhaps you already are a storyteller.

• Have you written anything yet?
• How many books have you published?
• Are they popular or nobody knows about them?
• Have you already given up or are you close to failing into misery?

Been there, done that. This book is for you. 

---

For a person with a huge dream, like you and me, there is no writer’s block. For us, there is fatigue, frustration, hopefulness & disappointment.

• Cry if you must.
• Scream if you feel the need. 
• Then take a deep breath and start over. Again, and again and again.

It’s not over until you get where you crave to be. 

---

The genre you chose is not that important because there is a market for every book, every story, and every author. 

• Learn from those who have the experience. Nothing is too small or too big. 
• Motivation and inspiration are very easy to find. 
• Time is not a boomerang, waste it wisely. The only moment you’ve got is Now. 
• Don’t build your fame destroying others. Another author is not an enemy. He is a dreamer just like you. 
• Be truthful to your human essence. Follow the Golden Rule: recognise, appreciate, and respect. 

Make no mistake, the universe will return what you give.

My name is Beatrix, but you may call me Bea. I’m 40, single, and
utterly alone in this world. One day, in the
middle of May, I was walking on an empty alley in a park enjoying the beautiful
colours of mother nature. A child was moving among the flowers. I stopped and
looked around, but there was no other human than the little one. I didn’t know
what to do so I took the phone to call 112. Suddenly, the child spotted me and
started to run in my direction speaking words I couldn’t understand until she
got very close. “Mummy, mummy, where were you?”

---

A nurse came invited the visitors to leave. Dara cried when Ray
took her away. “I want to sleep with Mummy,” she screamed. The desperation in
her voice made my heart bleed. Ray didn’t regain his health yet, so he fumbled
and almost fell. I begged Dara to calm down.

“But I want to stay with you,” she cried.

“Me too, sweetheart. There is nothing in this entire world I would
like most. But I’ll come home soon.”

“Promise?” she said with hope.

“Promise.”

How Much do You Know about Endometriosis? - Childless by Cristina G.

Have you ever heard of endometriosis?
If you haven't, I am happy for you.
It means that nobody you know or you, is affected by it.

Endometriosis is a women's disease.
A painful disorder in which tissue that normally lines the inside of your uterus grows outside your uterus.
Endometriosis may involve your ovaries, fallopian tubes and the tissue lining your pelvis.
There are cases in which the endometrial tissue spreads beyond pelvic organs.
Some women with mild endometriosis experience an awful amount of pain, while some with severe endometriosis feel no pain at all.

Endometriosis is often diagnosed in infertile women.
Nobody knows why and where does it come from and that makes it impossible to treat.

I know a lot about endometriosis and vulvodynia, that's why I wrote childless: How to Cope with Endometriosis & Vulvodynia - Holistic Approach - to give a personal insight, courage and hope to women affected by it. 

The price of the eBook is the lowest allowed by Amazon - $ 0.99 - but today, 8 of March, it's free of charge. 

Do you know why?
Because on 8th of March of every year, all countries celebrate Women's and/or Mother's Day. 
This is my gift to You, precious woman. 

Plus, all my paperbacks have the printing price - the minimum possible - until 18 of March. 

"When God created humankind, He gave everyone the gift of procreation.
Then it was betrayal, pain, and chaos.
Women in terrible pain realised that they were different from most.
They were deprived of this primordial right.
Angry, exhausted and in agony they live the inferno on earth.

Do you recognise yourself? 

I know how you feel. My heart goes out to you.
This illness memoir is for you. It’s filled with practical, inexpensive, and very useful recommendations. The power is in your hands.

Endometriosis and vulvodynia are mysterious maladies, extremely invalidating both physically and psychologically.

The road to the correct diagnosis is a calvary. For years, women around the world are lead to believe that they are insane, not broken.

That’s why I distanced myself from doctors and decided to take a holistic approach. I am reborn now. And you can be too.

Stop crying, precious woman, there is always hope.
You are worthy of love. 
You can find peace and purpose without being a mother."

Do take advantage of this now.

Half my Age Plus Seven - Too Good to be True? - Romance Novel by Cristina G.

As I wrote on the official page of my novel Half my Age Plus Seven, not many people know that this book has a sequel.

The first book - A Sinful Confession - was intended to stand alone as it has a proper ending.
Which means that anyone can read it without the need to read this book.

However, it would be a very good idea to give a canche to reading this second book too.
It is the opposite of the first.

Tara is still protagonist, but instead of Adrian there is Drefan - an ideal man.

The pages are filled with love, sacrifice and understanding. There are no fights, at least not among the two protagonists.
There is a lot suspense because my style is quite unique.

As Book 1 - A Sinful Confession, Book 2 - Too Good to be True - has an ending and it could mean that Tara's story has got to an end.

But, there is a Book 3 inside my head. It is clear and ready to be put down on paper.
Except for the fact that my first novel never reached the success I aimed for.

I have no one to blame for this but myself.

Half my Age Plus Seven is the novel that made me a registered author. 

Was the unsuccess a fair price? 
I don't know yet.

I didn't give a damn on becoming a registered author. I wanted my book to be loved as I love it.

It's an amazing story. Very deep and intense. Emotions and feeling at their best and worst.

Of course, emotions control our lives. They are very difficult to tame, that's why we don't like them very much.

Such a pity because the story it's really great. But only for soulful people who can appreciate the power of our souls on our minds.


If you read Book 1, please don't ignore the sequel.

As all my books, you can read it on Amazon in both elettronic (Kindle) and paperback formats.

Half my Age Plus Seven - A British Romance or A Sinful Confession

This was my first novel to be published. With this title I became a registered author.

I've written it in a few months, than I spent a year and a half correcting and editing it.

I craved for perfection with it.
I wanted it so badly to be successful as the story meant the world to me.
That's why I hired someone to help me achieve that.

Have I got what I hoped for? 

• Not really. 
• No. 
• Not even close, to be honest. 

I won't get into details. I won't blame anyone and anything but myself for this.

I believe that this story is a real catch.
But I am humble enough to realise that it's not for everyone.

The story is intense and powerful. It's filled with strong emotions.
It shows to fears, the struggles, the frustrations of a woman like you and I.

Both protagonists are regular people, but there is nothing regular between their relationship.

As you know, emotions are not very popular. At least not among romance books readers.
When you buy a romance book, you expect to find a typical love story with ups and downs.
You kinda know what's going to happen next.
She might leave him for another guy, or vice versa. Or they could end up living happily ever after.

This book is everything but that. It's unique in its genre. And I am convinced it deserves to be successful.

But how can something so difficult to understand and control - emotions - could ever find a large readership? 

Only the soulful can appreciate the value of this story.

A Sinful Confession is the Book One. 
Too Good to be True is Book Two. 

I was supposed to write a third book, but nothing went as I hoped with this novel. There is no reason to keep writing something that many readers struggle to appreciate.

It might have been better to publish it under Non Fiction, Spirituality, Self-Help, Personal Development, etc.

As this is a book that aimed to help people to cope with emotions that are bigger than them.

Well, I learned a big lesson. And I paid a huge price for it. Was it worth it? Absolutely. 

Anyway this book can be read on itself. It was intended this way from the start. 

Book Two - Too Good to be True - has to be read after this and it was not intended to be depended on the Third book that will might get out one day. Just not soon.

If you are interested to read it, you can find it in both kindle and paperback format on Amazon.com.

Humans Cursed by Geography in the Pursuit of Happiness by Cristina G.

This book was requested by some people who appreciate my work and it gathers the previous two memoirs:

• Oranges at Christmas in a Communist Country

• Ten Years in Italy, Three Weeks a Human

Is, therefore, a memoir.

• The first part is set up in Romania during a very oppressive communist regime. Ceausescu's Golden Epoch.

• The second part is set up in Italy - one of the most beautiful countries in the whole world. 

True facts of a story of survival in progress. 
A highly inspirational and motivational book. 

It's a must-read for people who don't know what being racist feels like.
