INTRO TO MBTI STORIES I

No matter where you first heard of it— whether you stumbled on a strange test after browsing psychology for hours on the internet, or whether your friend sent you a link out of the blue of that very same strange test that they had insisted you take (while claiming it to be “scarily accurate”), or whether your company forced you to take the test when you were hired for that job where you had to work with people — you have probably at some point been roped into taking the MBTI test online.

Being a writer means writing is my passion. And as a fiction writer, there’s nothing else I would rather be doing with my time than weaving together intricate plots in my mind, creating colourful settings and lively relatable characters, and then putting them to the page in an artistic collaboration of printed text. So naturally, I want to spend as much time as possible doing exactly that, and less time doing other things such as marketing, editing, proofreading, advertising, designing, and dealing with all the extra things in between. …

It’s always worth it to be yourself, even if it is different.

If you look around at the world and see how the majority of people live and function and you can’t imagine yourself doing the same, you don’t automatically need to think it’s something you have to fix. Don’t think you need to conform to be of value. The world needs new and different. It needs creators and inventors. And to be the first at something, you need to be different.

There will be times in each of our lives when grieving is necessary. Only through grieving the end of something can we move on to new beginnings. Everyone has to go through some period of grief or another, and sometimes it’s collective. Collective grief can come from the ending of a past era, which affects all of society.

The world will not be the…

Have you heard of Finneas O’Connell? Maybe you haven’t heard of him yet, but you’ve most likely heard of his sister. He collaborates music with the now very well-known artist Billie Eilish. In interviews they have mentioned being both best friends and siblings. But now I want to focus on just Finneas. He wrote a song that I call a great meaning masterpiece (you’ll find a link to the song on YouTube at the bottom of this post), and I want to talk for a moment about why I call it that.

Maybe you’ve decided to take the leap and create your own ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ book. You might have read my article Would Your Novel Work as a ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ Story? and mapped out exactly what the plot points are going to be, thought about which type of endings would be appropriate to your novel, and chosen to accept that your readers will be the ones making all the decisions. …
