These inspirational and practical quotes come from 500+ podcast interviews with hard-working, award-winning, and New York Times bestselling authors in more than 33 U.S. states and five countries. In Book 7, authors share their honest reflections on The Emotional Writing Journey. These quotes are evidence that whatever emotions you experience as a writer, you are in good company. Authors quoted include David Baldacci, Steve Berry, Lisa Jewell, John Hart, Sophie Cousens, Ron Rash, C.J. Box, Craig Johnson, Wylie Cash, Kristy Harvey, Brad Taylor, Charlie Lovett, Judy Goldman, Chris Fabry, Amber Smith, Tracy Clark, John Gilstrap, Kimmery Martin, A.J. Hartley, Clyde Edgerton, Jill McCorkle, Jason Mott, Cathy Pickens, Gavin Edwards, and many more. The sections of this book are arranged in a careful order, starting with the struggles of rejection and ending on a high note with perseverance, because perseverance is really what every writer needs: that focused commitment to the work despite all the highs and lows that can go with it. As Craig Nova says, "the bottom doesnt last forever, and the top doesnt last forever." What can last forever, though, is your words. New York Times bestselling novelist Steve Berry says, "From 1990 to 2002, I wrote eight novels. Five of them went to New York publishing houses, and they were rejected a total of 85 times. It was on the 86th time that I made it, 12 years after I started. So my road to publishing was a very long process." And Chris Fabry, an award-winning author who has published more than 80 books, says, "If you dont want to get hurt, dont write. If you dont want to have layers of your own soul exposed to people who say, didnt really connect with that, dont put the words down there. Because you will be rejected." Writers are fortunate in that this thing they love to do can be so wonderful, and so powerful, that even when it sometimes makes them crazythey want to do it anyway.

BROOMSTICKSRome has always been a city where marble gods rule the streets and fountains flow with eternal waters. But in this Rome, the marvels are not just relics of the past. Here, magic is alive, unpredictable, and often as messy as a bowl of spaghetti.At the heart of this chaos stand two young warlocks. Marco Bellini, flamboyant, willful, and as explosive as fireworks. He believes magic is meant for dazzling crowds and impressing tourists. And Lorenzo Moretti, practical, severe, and stubbornly convinced that his own brand of controlled, respectable sorcery is far more appealing.Between them stands Tiana di Rossi: intelligent, elegant, and entirely unimpressed by magical theatrics. As the librarian of Santa Croce Monastery, she knows nonsense when it dances in front of her in the form of canaries, flying gondolas, and exploding pasta. Yet even she cannot ignore the strange charm . . . albeit buried under layers of rivalry and boyish ridiculousness that these two persistent warlocks bring to her orderly world.What follows is a tale of magical duels gone wrong, love gestures gone wrong, dinners gone wrong . . . in fact, nearly everything goes wrong. Except for the part where you, dear reader, get to sit back and enjoy the calamity without being turned into a frog.

Questa sera si recita a soggettodi Luigi PirandelloUltimo capitolo della trilogia del teatro nel teatro, insieme a Sei personaggi in cerca dautore e Ciascuno a suo modo, questo straordinario dramma di Luigi Pirandello porta allestremo la riflessione sullarte scenica, sullidentita e sulla liberta dellattore.Durante la rappresentazione di una commedia ispirata a un racconto dello stesso Pirandello, la linea tra realta e finzione si spezza: gli attori si ribellano al regista, il pubblico diventa parte dellazione, e lo spettacolo si trasforma in un vortice di improvvisazione e verita. Questa sera si recita a soggetto e un capolavoro di rottura e sperimentazione, una riflessione visionaria sul ruolo del teatro e sulleterno conflitto tra lartista e la forma. Un testo che anticipa le avanguardie del Novecento e continua a interrogare il senso stesso della rappresentazione.Luigi Pirandello (18671936) e stato uno dei piu grandi drammaturghi e scrittori italiani del XX secolo, noto per le sue opere teatrali e narrative che esplorano temi come lidentita, lapparenza e la realta, la follia, e la frammentazione della personalita. Pirandello vinse il Premio Nobel per la letteratura nel 1934.

In Avalon, Season Seven Wraith, the travelers from Avalon come face to face with a monster who would like nothing better than to frighten them to death in order to feast on their souls. The wraith, a refugee from the land of the dead, has followed in the background since 3600 BC, waiting for the time of the dissolution of the gods, when the gods go away. As the travelers step over the line into the year one in the common era, the wraith feels it is her chance. She will have a few surprises for the travelers who will have to fight desperately, time zone by time zone, just to stay alive.The travelers originally came to Avalon in the Second Heavens so they could be transported instantly through the Heart of Time to the beginning of history. They went on a rescue mission and expected to be transported back to the future in the same way they came but things did not go as planned. The Kairosthe Storyteller, had to jump into the void before history and became lost in eternity. Now, in order to get home, the travelers must return the slow way, following the Amulet of Avalon that points the way from one time gate to the next. They cross dangerous time zones that center around the many lives of the Kairos, the Traveler in time, the Watcher over history, a person who never lives a quiet life.They have unlimited vitamins and elf crackers for their health, and unlimited bullets which are needed far too often. They ride mustangs brought back from the old west, and wear fairy weave clothing that they can shape and change with a word in order to blend into the local culture. By a special gift of the Kairos, they can understand and be understood no matter the local language. Inevitably, they have to deal with thieves and brigands, armies and empires, gods and monsters, spirits and creatures, space aliens and the great unknown. They try hard not to disturb history along the way. That is not so easy.To be sure, all they want is to get home in one piece, but they are not the only ones lost in time. Some people lost in time might want to follow them or go with them. Other people are not so friendly, and not everything lost in time is a person. Some want to fight the travelers. Some want to hunt them.Avalon is like a television series. It is not necessary to start with season one. Like any good TV series, one or two episodes will introduce the characters and make clear how the story works. Each episode is a story unto itself, and there are thirteen episodes packed into each book. After reading this season you may wish to go back and power read the series from the beginning but it is not necessary to enjoy this book.Pick up your copy of Avalon Season Seven Wraith today and see how the travelers survive this menace, if they all survive. It is hard to keep track of the wraith when each time zone has enough struggles, troubles, monsters, and fighting to occupy them all without having someone following them who is seeking to consume their souls. Enjoy and Happy Reading, MGK.

New York Times bestselling author Ron Rash says, "Were not making McDonalds hamburgers. Theres just no clear-cut way to do it." And award-winning author Renea Winchester quips, "The best thing that an author can have is a writing friend whos immensely more successful than they are," a point that New York Times bestselling novelist Craig Johnson echoes when he says "I learned more in four hours talking with Tony Hillerman than I may have gotten in an entire year masters degree in writing."

Destruction of Black Civilization: The Rise, Fall, and Legacy of African Greatness from Ancient Times to the Modern Era is a profound and eye-opening history of Africas pivotal role in the story of human civilization. This book uncovers the forgotten or suppressed history of Africas ancient civilizations, from the grandeur of Egypt and Nubia to the flourishing kingdoms of Mali and Zimbabwe. Through the lens of both triumph and tragedy, it examines the impact of centuries of invasion, colonization, and cultural erasure, and how these forces sought to displace the truth of Africas intellectual, political, and artistic contributions to the world.At its core, this work is a powerful call for reclaiming African history, not as an act of nostalgia but as a form of resistance and empowerment. It challenges the false narratives imposed by colonialism and Eurocentric thought, asserting the resilience of African civilizations in the face of systematic suppression. With insights drawn from African-centered scholarship, oral traditions, and archaeological evidence, Destruction of Black Civilization serves as both a historical testament and a roadmap for future empowerment, urging African people globally to reconnect with their heritage and rebuild their identity on their own terms.Rich in historical analysis, cultural examination, and intellectual thought, this book is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand Africas central role in shaping the world and the ongoing journey of reclaiming its rightful place in history.
