Making A Living As An Author

Africa was 'discovered' by the Europeans, it was always there, full of life and culture. Africa had been great once. Not just in scattered empires but as a continent rich in knowledge, commerce, and self-sufficiency. The Mali Empire, the Benin Kingdom, the Ashanti, the Zulu, the Kongo. Civilizations that thrived long before European ships appeared on their shores. But greed, driven by the hunger for resources and wealth, turned Africa into a hunting ground. Follow Obinna as rewrites the story of Africa starting from a small Igbo tribe. *** A/N: I'm trying my hand at this after reading two interesting and similar books: Life of Being a Crown Prince in France and Reborn In 17th century India with Black Technology. They inspired me to write what Africa could've been like if they united earlier. As for why I'm posting it on this platform...I just felt like it and there really isn't any Novel Platform for Nigerians alone or Africans alone so...Deal with it if you don't understand most of the terms. We've had to deal with Chinese, Japanese, Russian...and many more. Enjoy.

SYNOPSIS In the city of Avalon, manipulation isn't just an art, it's a war. Lucian Vale, the world's most elusive manipulator, orchestrates a crisis designed to cripple economies and outplay his greatest rival, Ariadne Wolfe. But when Magnus Cain, a master strategist who doesn't play by the rules, steps in, the board is flipped before Lucian even realizes the game has changed. As alliances crumble and global power shifts, the world's greatest minds race to stay one move ahead, and survival means outthinking the ones who see everything. CONTENT WARNING This novel focuses on the strategic consequences of manipulation rather than explaining manipulation techniques in a way that could be used practically. It explores mind games, deception, and psychological warfare but does not serve as a manual for manipulation. It aligns with many political thriller and espionage novels, which depict power struggles, intelligence misdirection, and strategic deception without directly teaching harmful tactics. The emphasis is on narrative intrigue, character conflicts, and the cascading effects of manipulation in events rather than step-by-step instructions on manipulation. If the concern is about violating certain cultural sensitivities, the story can be framed as a high-stakes intelligence thriller, similar to many intellectual novels or dramas, without promoting unethical behavior.

This may sound biased, but... What's the most essential thing for being a writer? Idea? Or Imagination? It's lucid! The answer to it is imagination. While ideas can come and go, however, long-term success in writing comes from the depth and wildness of one’s imagination led by perfect implementation of it, known as writing. Through imagination, one can experience infinite lives, outcomes, victories, and defeats—all intertwined in stories that go beyond mere ideas. In that case, what would an author do if one has the lesser side in terms of imagination, unlike one's renowned writer relative? Read on to discover the winner in the endgame of Memoir! Check it out :-) Nope, I'm serious! #Vote it with power stones or else I'll steal your plushie.

Facing the imminent danger of a demon invasion, the Prazia kingdom establishes orphanages to uncover hidden talents among its populace. Lena, now known as Lava, is reincarnated as a dragon and becomes an orphan after her mother goes missing. However, not every fantasy world is filled with raw plot armor. Reality can be difficult, and Lava is not immune to being a pawn in the plans of others. Features a unique word-based magic system, no skills or levels. ----- Sorry for how slow burning and random the beginning chapters are, I just kind of made up plausible nonsense to keep the story flowing. It wasn't until about ch.23 where inspiration struck and the story really started to pick up speed. The main reason things started so slow is that I don't like writing highly unlikely events to drive plot like an mc saving someone that just happens to be a noble. Keep in mind this has a more realistic theme than most isekai stories, even with power mc is not untouchable and actually has to make difficult choices. Sometimes, reality can be dark. It's also not a wake up as a dragon and then fight endless monsters kind of story either, I felt that was already done too many times and chose to go for a more intrigue and life themed story. This is my first work, and I think it's rather good for a first story. Trying to develop my writing style on this. First chapters might come off as kind of rushed, I didn't spend much time on backstory and what happened to her mother I just kind of rushed mc to her new family and that really came back on me later on in the story.

"The Author of the Apocalypse" is a dark, philosophical saga of rebirth, futility, and the search for meaning in worlds where chaos and magic intertwine with human frailty.

Death, however, is not the end but a beginning: he is reborn as a grotesque infant in a world of swords and sorcery, within the powerful Dakota family, a branch of the De-Dakota-Lastmund clan. His new body—crooked, weak, repulsive—mirrors his former uselessness, yet within it smolder sparks of mana, promising a strength he has never known.
