So you want to be the next JK Rowling, by, Gina Meyers

So you want to be the next JK Rowling, of Harry Potter Fame, well, you aren't the only one.

by, Gina Meyers

 I've met with two publishing, marketing, and promotions clients recently, and they both said the same sentiment, "they want to be the next JK Rowling". The truth is both have the tenacity to become the next JK Rowling. One is a science fiction writer for young adults and the other a poet.

But that familiar tome, go me thinking, does everyone want to be the next JK Rowling and why?

There is a lot to read in between the lines about JK Rowling's story. The story of rags to riches, but the truth is that story like Harry Potter is fiction. Like the game telephone, somehow the message became garbled, suddenly JK Rowling was in a bar, eating peanuts, writing her manuscript on napkins. It's the story of rags to riches, the sort of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous that get everyone saying, "I want to write a book, rise to fame, but are they really saying that?"

I think it is the perception of success-- the dream of "being discovered" that gets people excited.

Having had some level of success in the past with my Hope for Haiti Fundraising Cookbook (Winner of the Gourmand International Cooking Award, For Best Charity Cookbook In the World, Folies Bergere, Paris, France, March 2012), and I am the author of the Unofficial and Unauthorized, Love at First Bite, The Unofficial Twilight Cookbook, I can tell you--fame isn't what it is cracked up to be.

This is why I always have my prospective clients/authors fill out the Author Survival guide, it gives them a good dose of reality to what they truly want out of the publishing, promotions, and marketing of their book.

But, it also helps them to continue to dream and to believe in their dreams enough to achieve.

I am grateful I have honed in the tools and built the resources and connections to make others dreams come true.

Now, that I know what they mean about "wanting to be the next JK Rowling." If you want to learn more about how you can achieve your personal goals through publishing your book, email me at: http://www.serendipitymediagroup.com

It's Not Too Late to Make Retirement Great!

Listen to Author Arsen Marsoobian speak from the heart about his experiences in life and a brief excerpt from his book, Don't Die.

"Preparing to live or waiting to die." Over the age of 65, you fit into one of these two categories.  The reason I say this is because I have done both. In my book Don't Die I explain what happened after divorce and relocating back to my family and community I had left for 12 years. We believe life changes after the age of retirement. What is that 65? 

Most prominent sales job government as ever sold to American people. They set up Social Security benefits at age 65 when life expectancy for the average person was age  64. Good logical thinking for politicians in Washington. Now more and more people living to age 100 and beyond. There will soon be a million people over age of 100 in America .

So the question is, what are you going to do in the next 30 years?

The answer requires a whole different mindset and a way to approach life. But, Arsen under my circumstance, I can't do anything. As one of the great motivational speakers of our time, Zig Ziglar answered that statement. "With a question."What are you doing under there in the first place?

If you have been out of the game of life for a while time to get back in is NOW. If you're still in the game excellent, keep it up. Be an inspiration to others around you. Choose to prepare every day to live. 

In my book, I share the three essential things that helped me make the mind shift.  Maybe they will help you. They are, Keep Learning, Keep Doing, and Keep Giving.

There is a bonus chapter in the back of the book to help you evaluate your desires or dreams before you get started. With only thirty years left, you don't want to waste time pursuing a course of action that will not be fulfilled.

They unintentionally created a time machine and once they realized the power they now had, they decided to take a stand, going back hundreds of years to stop the world from becoming marred.  They ensured that the countries and world order that once was, never came to be. They created the land known as Timetopia. A place they deemed as a utopia they the five scientist ran alone. Ava who thought of herself as a shining example of a model Timetopian, finds herself in a most unusual situation. On Ava’s seventeenth birthday, everything she once believed to be true suddenly becomes like a mirror cracked, shattered into a billion pieces. Now being chased by the people she once thought she could trust. She journeys across Timetopia with Rev, a girl she just met. What she finds on her journey shocks her. For nothing is what it seems in Timetopia.
