Let me clarify one thing and get confusion out of the picture! I write and teach book publishing because it is the simplest form of self expression and self preservation. The reason I write books - is to prove and inspire anyone who can use a computer; how simple it is to use "MS Word" application to do mind mapping and conceptualization of ideas to create and write a book with MS Word Advance. It has a powerful TOC lesson that help writers and authors accomplish and achieve this objective. Hence the term Self-Publishing for DIYer's incorporating "Time Management Principles".

Self Actualization Mission & Purpose:
Anyone who is alive and are able to read and write should at least leave something behind like a legacy when they depart from this world. This topic is not about death and why you will die. It is all about your personal awareness to your existence and the most important role you have played or have yet to play or undermine in your life to deserve a publishing contract. A majority of us will never make an attempt to tell their story while alive and ticking; simply because they think writing a book needs a special talent or a magic wand to warrant receiving an accolade. This is not true, the myth that you need to be “special and gifted” is just another fallacy to make you think your story is less important to you or us potential readers of your benevolent tale.Self-Publishing for Proactive Individuals:
Writing a book is no where difficult than it is learning a new skill. Like riding a bicycle or learning how to drive or cook delicious family meals. Everything in life is and has a learning curve and acquiring new skills requires a little more effort and time before one can master it as an art. Yes! Some people are more gifted and talented in writing excellent successful books than others. But this depends on which book genre one needs to exploit to discover their true calling.

No One Is Born With Special Skills
Those that are born with any special skills to write and tell outstanding stories or display impeccable reporting ability for writing articles without exerting much effort are one in a million. Others like me have to learn this skill from ground up. This is purely because I want to explore new horizons of the unknown creative territories hidden in my mind and to push the limits, of my writing emotional resources to power up those who need inspiration to live on. South Africa's Bantu Education System and the current ANC poor Education Policies have suppressed and stifled our creative abilities to reach and exploit our true potential.
African Legacy Restoration
On the other hand, one cannot dismiss the fact that everyone has some latent kind of a skill greater than others. E.g. if you’re not good at sports, maybe you are good at writing and reporting an incident in the form of a book. Whereas, on the overall scale of things those with basic literacy reading and writing abilities can improve it to become masters of the craft after years of experience and practice within their chosen discipline.
Background & History of These Books and Songs.
In 2000, I helped set-up a music publication, production and a communication media company in Soweto- called Samablue Music Times. My vision was to organize a team of guys and girls to structure our vision and the local music industry in preparation to create exportable quality music. This was because the music scene was starved with creativity.
Complacency and lack of originality had always stifled the potential to export our music products overseas. Instead we rely on the current dying small local SA market and complain about the unprecedented piracy of our music by Chinese and Nigerian syndicates. Well! The project did not last long enough to reach its fruition, simply because some of the members of my association and talent scout wanted a quick fix and the instant gratification.
The glamour and glory that go with being a music celebrity.

Beyond this plan; I made a mistakes of not involving our local radio DJ’s and to appoint a qualified and experienced or an influential spokes-person to sell my vision. Besides I was not business-smart at that time and matured enough to understand the dynamic power of political games of the music industry in that period. Racism and contracts manipulation, copyrights violation and infringement was prevalent and rife more than one could ever imagine.

Along the way we encountered hurdles and stumbling blocks, although, I personally invested a lot of emotion, intellectual, money and time on the project. I knew that if I slipped up I had a greater chance to lose out more than anyone else in the . In the same vein; if we win I would be very successful too in retrospect. As fate would have it, I was project Director, Financier and Print Publication Editor and Distributor and owner of “Samablue Music Times” communications. This project failed to take-off because my acquaintances where looking for quick-fixes and short term success.
No one in my command wanted to share my vision to build sustainable products first and to collaborate with International talent. Instead everyone jumped ship- I was left alone to fight my own battles. Eventually I ended up with this publishing project HERE!
