    Ep. 29 The Pros and Cons of Traditional Publishing

    Last week we discussed the pros and cons of self-publishing and today we will be chatting about the pros and cons of traditional publishing which in my opinion is every author's dream--well, it is for me! We will compare some of the pros and cons to self-publishing as well. if you are in between deciding to self-publish or to go the traditional route, I hope that what we discuss today and last week will help in your decision making. Traditional publishing is anything but easy and it takes time to finally land an agent and a publishing deal but it is feasible. Keep going, don't give up!

    Ep.28 The Pros and Cons of Self-Publishing

    Last week's episode was all about how to self-publish a book. this week I would like to share some of the pros and cons of self-publishing mostly talking from experience. I have self-published three books thus far and I've done so using KDP which happens to be a great platform for new authors. However, with everything, there will be pros and cons. Publishing your book whether traditionally or independently--will be a long and tedious process but so worth it in the end.  If you are on the fence about whether to self-publish or go the traditional route, I hope this episode brings a little bit of clarity for you on your decision making. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask me over on IG: https://www.instagram.com/nallely__rodriguez/ As always, thank you for listening! see you next week!

    Ep.27 How to Self-Publish a Book

    I recently spoke with a mom friend over on Instagram and she was asking me how I went about publishing my books. I was instantly flattered because, truth be told, I love sharing my knowledge and wisdom with people. We talked and I shared tips with her and what worked for me. after my conversation with her, I felt compelled to create an episode on the topic. There are still a myriad of people who are unaware of how to go about self-publishing a book and thankfully I can now help others who are still confused about the whole process. I hope this episode helps you on your self-publishing journey. Also, please feel free to ask me questions over on my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nallely__rodriguez/ Here are also some websites I mentioned in the Episode.

    Ep.24 Let it make you Stronger

    It seems that everyone is talking about "narcissism" these days. There is a myriad of podcasts, YouTube channels, blog posts about the subject. Narcissism isn't anything new, in fact we can go back to the Bible and see various people who had narcissistic tendencies. For example: Jezebel. Today's episode is one I have been prolonging but it's been weighing on my heart to share my experience with dealing with someone with these tendencies. It's tough because now matter how hard you try to to get them to empathize with you and see your point of view, they won't. In their mind, they are right, they are the victim, and the person that hurt them becomes a villain in their minds.  It's a sad reality that so many people are like this and we are just now becoming aware. If you have ever dealt with someone who is narcissistic then you know what I am talking about.  But, after dealing with people with these tendencies for a while now, I know how to respond and I also have allowed these experiences make me stronger and emotionally mature.  We must keep in mind that people are going to hurt us, and sometimes we may hurt others as well. What matters is that we apologize and also forgive the person who did us wrong. Christ commanded us to love our neighbor as we love ourselves, to take up our cross, to forgive, to be kind, and well; to demonstrate the fruits of the Spirit and be just like Jesus. He alone is the perfect example of who we ought to be like.  If you would like to know more about Narcissism, check out this channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/DoctorRamanDurvasula Let's chat on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nallely__rodriguez/
