Happy New Writing Year

 Dear all,

#NewYear #NewMonth #NewOpportunities

Yes, my writing ‘year’ is just starting. If you are like me, you would have taken one or two months off after a busy writing year, or should I say, a busy writing ‘10’ years.

Last year November, to the glory of God, I marked 10 years of self-publishing with 40 published books 😊. I also smashed a few writing challenges, or goals, I set for myself when I started the journey. I call them challenges because I challenged myself to accomplish them:

1. Write and publish in all 3 branches of literature: Prose, Drama, Poetry

2. Write all forms of prose: flash fiction to epic

3. Write several genres: from realistic fiction to Science fiction and non-fiction

4. Write 3 different series: short story, novella, and novel. Though this wasn’t a goal, I joined the Wattpad 12 days of Christmas writing challenge and wrote a Christmas/themed short story collection of 12 unique stories in 12 different genres

5. Use all the alphabets from A-Z to title my books. Some of my books were inspired by their titles. This was just a fun and creative challenge, which I enjoyed 

You can also achieve your writing goals this year… all you need to do is START, and my writing guide, Learn To Write A Book In Under Two Weeks, is a great place to start.

Count Down... 7 Days To Go!

Dear all,

#NewBook #CountDown #Sept28

I am excited to share that my long-awaited crime novel is ready to meet the world.

The book was inspired by a visit to one of the construction sites of my previous employer @BusinessContractingLtd after 4.5 months of work (Swipe to see previous photos). The book was completed in 2018 and was waiting for the perfect moment to meet the world… the moment is here 😊.

Description:

A British civil engineer goes missing from a Nigerian construction site, and circumstances unfold, revealing that a potential crime may have occurred. However, with no body to be found and over a hundred people present at the site, solving the case seems impossible. Inspector Tunde Osbourne must team up with a British detective to crack the case within an impossible deadline. Everyone is a suspect until proven otherwise. 

Count Down... 5 Days To Go!

Dear all,

#NewBook #ComingSoon #Aug31

It was on #Aug1 that I mentioned that I had just completed another short story, and I am pleased to announce that it has passed through the oven and is now ready to be consumed by you 😁.

Here's the description:  "Kiki, code-named ‘The Cuttist’, has neutralised the immediate threat to her life and the life of the one she loves.

Kiki is safe, but she cannot let her guard down until the last of the assassins is gone. She must protect herself and her lover no matter the cost.

Any choice she makes comes with a consequence." 

The book will be available across major distribution platforms, including my website.

I can't wait to know what you think. You can drop your comments on Goodreads here: CMOkonkwo.

New Month... New Goal!

Dear all,

#NewMonth #Aug1 #Goal

You can still write a book - scrap that. You can still write at least 3 books before the end of the year without compromising on quality, and using a process that works!

 I just completed another short story in my #NigerianAssassin series. I wanted to stop at #3 but I got tempted to stop at #5 instead, for now 😁. #4 is done, 1 more to go 💪🏽. 

The writing process I followed is in my guide.

New Month... New Style!

Dear all,

#NewMonth #Motivation #Apr1

I am excited to share that my first Drama Book, written in 2021 is now available in ebook and print.

It’s a story inspired by true events, but mostly fictional, and written after many many sleepless nights of research 😓.

Description:  A young man is kidnapped and sold into slavery, but the thought of seeing his wife again keeps him going until he learns the unearthed truth about his enslavement. Was his ordeal fated by the gods or orchestrated by an impure heart?

New Year: New Wins

Dear all,

#Monday #Motivation #Jan23

There is no better way to start a literary new year than being shortlisted for, and winning, an award.

I’m so excited to share that my Paranormal short story titled ‘Time Is Different Over Here’ won the 2022 Itanile Magazine Awards for fiction and my Science Fiction short story titled ‘One More Chance’ was selected as finalist for the 2023 Canopus Awards for Interstellar Writing.

To all the writers who are consistently putting in effort, never give up. Someone once told me to keep submitting my stories for awards, and one day, the stories would find a home. I’m leaving you all with that today.

Keep imagining, keep creating, keep writing, for one day, your stories would find a home.

Happy New Year: Welcome to 2023

 Dear all,

#Sunday #Jan1 #NewYear

2022 was an interesting year for me with a lot of writing and reading goals, and a major accomplishment of hitting 35 publications on my 35th birthday. But none of that happened without my dear readers and friends encouraging and supporting me by reading my works and providing feedback.

Thank you for making 2022 a "literable" (literarily memorable) one, and I know that 2023 will be even better with you.

This year, I hope to write more, read more, and accomplish more, and most of all, I hope to connect and collaborate more with you, dear readers. This is why I'm inviting you to be a part of my Cosmos to grow with me as I explore and extract the depth of my creativity to deliver Captivating, Magnificent, and Original stories and moments.

If you would like to be a part of the community, join by using this LINK, and let's discover more this year.

Here's wishing you all a fulfilling and prosperous 2023.
