“A Correction from the Present Me”

-


Before we even begin, I need to correct something my younger self said about two years ago.

I DO NOT CRY WHEN I’M MAD! 😤

Okay, well… not all the time anymore.

This year, I’ve only cried like, three times. (Don’t worry, I might spill why in future posts 👀). So yeah, it's officially harder to rile me up these days. Character development, baby!

But math?

💀 WE STILL HATE EACH OTHER.

It's eternal. No truce forever. I recently wrote an external exam here in Nigeria, and dear, math almost ended me. I was sweating like I’d been on Zyrona when the third Rokus, Hetoria went rogue with the volcanoes of life.

I’m honestly hoping the math examiner gets temporary selective blindness and just skips over my wrong answers.

HA!

Anyhoo, like my younger self proudly declared—HI!

I’m Nwobodo Henry Chigozirim, a 17-year-old from Enugu State, Nigeria.

And yeah… I feel like my dream of becoming a teen author is lowkey sprinting away like it's on the run. I mean, how many more years till I turn 20??

Ughhh.

The traditional publishing path has been a whole saga (annoying, stressful, possibly villain origin story worthy). But don’t worry. I’ll be breaking it all down right here on this blog. 😌

Well, enough about me for now.

What about you?

What are your dreams and aspirations?

Drop them in the comments—unless you’re shy (in which case… I get it, I'm an introvert so I’m shy too, but just in public 😅).

Why I Chose Traditional Publishing (Despite All Its Downsides...)

Let’s not let the fourth Rokus scramble our thoughts today (like she loves doing best). Especially not with... publishing terms. 😵‍💫 Back in my first post , I mentioned traditional publishing being a saga, and I’m not sure if you guys really caught what I meant. Now, here in Nigeria, when you say "traditional," people might assume you're talking about local deities or ancient rituals. Or maybe that’s just me. I don't know 😅 Thankfully, this time I meant a type of publishing. Yes, publishing, as in the process of getting books into the world. Whether it’s that shiny book on the shelf at the bookstore, in your school library, or hidden under your bed, you better believe it got there somehow. Let’s break it down. There are three main types of publishing: 1. Self-publishing 2. Traditional publishing 3. Hybrid publishing Trust me it's not as simple as it looks. 😂 🛠️ Self-Publishing (AKA: You Do EVERYTHING) As the name implies you’re the boss. The writer. The edito...

Alien Fighters: What's it about?

I know this is just my second post, but I feel like I haven’t really told you guys what the ‘Rokus’ pokus this whole thing is about. I wanted to do something about the traditional publishing path I chose but… sigh… I’ll save that for my next post. So basically, Alien Fighters is your average superhero story… like Percy Jackson and Power Rangers mashing together in… space. Okay, not literally space (I’m not a scientist 😅), but it does involve things you find in space. Like aliens. “But aliens can't be found in space, they're fictional!” Uhh, just because you can’t see them doesn’t mean they don’t exist. (If that’s your logic, then might I ask where your sense is?)  They do exist. At least in the Alien Fighters Universe. *whispers* maybe only in the Alien Fighters Universe. These aliens? They’re tougher than humans. Smarter. Way more advanced. And in Alien Fighters, they don’t come to hangout. They come with war. About ten centuries ago, a grumpy alien prince from a holographica...

Bolts of Leadership: Alien Fighters Book 1 (DISCUSSION TIME!!!)

-

  So, I’ve been deliberately holding off on talking about this book (even though it’s what I really wanted to post right after the blog makeover two days ago). But I had my reasons! First, I needed to make sure you all were familiar with the series premise (read this post if you’re not), and those buggy alien terms too (check out this post if your brain melts every time I say “Mystarmour”). But now… it’s finally time. Time to meet the first book in the series I’ve been hyping forever. The book that has been giving me all sort of writer trouble imaginable. Bolts of Leadership!!! Meet the MC: Cleophas “Cleo” Macklin He just got a mysterious (and super dusty) scholarship letter to a high-tech martial arts school on Mount Tams: Tamalpais Academy of Martial Science (aka TAMS). But guess what? He doesn’t want to go. Can you blame him? He doesn’t think he’s fighter material. Not built for it. He’s Black, scrawny, easy to pound into pancakes. Only sport he ever did well in back in eleme...
