Every writer tries to write every day even if they experience a bad case of constant writer’s block. Crafting contents which can pique reader’s interest instantly is already a challenging task.

I don’t actually remember how I first met Renee Robinson. I think it all started when some unmitigated ‘Ho wrote a cruel review about her writing, and I jumped to her defense. That sounds about like me. Anyone who could write cruelly about someone who does what Renee does with her life deserves a smack-down. Of course, I have never met her in person, but I have been corresponding with her for a while. Renee is a Terminal Cancer victim, who just received the dreaded “There is nothing else we can do” message, a message I never received myself, but […]

Author Tevia Feng talks about the research for the book, “Meridian Qigong: The Modern Research of Meridians and Muscle Fascia”

There has been ongoing research into physically identifying where the meridian systems actually are. In his groundbreaking book Anatomy Trains, Thomas Meyers worked on dissecting cadavers to understand the inner workings of the muscle fascia. He discovered previously unknown lines of muscle fascia that were interwoven throughout the body. He called these connections The Myofascial Meridians. At the time, he was not looking for, nor was he referring to the Asian Meridian system. It was only later that he […]

Do you have a set of priorities in your personal life? Oh, maybe something like: Family > Work > Play…

[ So, let’s see: One of my priorities for this post is to get my readers […]

The New York Times exposé on the infamous GettingBookReviews.com and the shenanigans of its founder Todd Jason Rutherford, has unleashed the mother of firestorms on the Internet. Bloggers from all over the blogosphere have pounced on the scandal and many of them are gleefully fanning the flames. Smelling blood, some traditionally published writers are circling the indie publishing camp, happy to remind all who care to listen that they had been warned.
