My Journey as an Author by M. C. Ryder

I've always been a writer. My dream was to one day become a published author. That dream came true in October 2022. The dream was only the beginning as I had my work cut out for me. A published book does not sell overnight. There are many highs and many lows. I entered a world that I had no experience in. Choose the freedom of becoming an indie author, without a network. I had to build one from the ground up. A daunting task. The world is not what it used to be. Everything now is digitalized. It can be hard to recognize what is legit and what is a scam. It's a cutthroat business. Crafting stories was actually, believe it or not, the easy part. Follow my journey as I share the things that I learned during the course of a year as an indie author.

How to Stand Up to Bullying by M. C. Ryder

Bullying. Something that is done every second, daily. Don't need a statistic to be told otherwise. Many don't even realize they are a constant victim of bullying, as it tends to get buried as an underlying emotion. Many don't realize they are actually a bully themselves. There are several references for parents to go to in order to help their children stand up against it, but there's not much for adults or depicting in why a bully is a bully in the first place. That's the first step. Before we all can stand up to bullying, we must first understand why a bully bullies to begin with.
