Spare Time

Here’s what happen if you have spare time. A short book resulted from burning much-needed brain cells and staring at a blank piece of paper for days, (I could burn a hole through it if I have heat vision). I do get stuck sometimes thinking of ideas to add to my portfolio. At least this time around it resulted in something rewarding for laboring out of the norm. Now I know how a mother feels after giving birth. Yes, this is my baby.

This book is about a boy's introduction to a new skill learned from an encounter with an old wizard. The story is written in short phrases and rhymes. "You will never know what you're good at until you try." pretty much sums up the moral. In addition, If you know the DC universe, you may find these characters rather familiar too. Though no particular identity are specified (to avoid any infringements); its a bonus to know who they are in the sideline and still gives a nice twist to the story, especially at the very end for a one-shot paperback.

The story (and the idea to do this) came up from listening to self-improvement audio books. Try listening to Zig Ziglar, Anthony Robbins, Stephen Covey, etc. "Meeting new people are opportunities to learn experiences" is also a theme here. It has been rewarding nonetheless (regardless of poor English) even if I did not get a large return commission.
