REVIEW FOR HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS VOLUME TWO

 

REVIEW FOR HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS VOLUME TWO BY SHANITA VICHARE

Multiple - award-winning Author Brenda Mohammed has published 47 books and still counting.

Her hot pick from the Amazon basket is her widely read books HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS: Volumes 1 & 2.

Most meticulous in her authorpreneurship, prolific in her writing craft, and expertise in using the writing analog extensively, using the most recent tenets, is her cup of tea!

I must agree. Brenda Mohammed has written this outstanding book- How To Write For Success: Volume 2, in the most lucid style. It is a very apt book for self-publishing/ indie authors and poets.

She has given detailed information on writing your manuscript, editing, how to fetch ISBN code, and how to format and publish it on Amazon.

KDP's option to scale is very well explained, but you must read the book to find out more.

Let me give you some background on Brenda Mohammed.

Stories That Intrigue, Stories People Love, Barry Holmes Mysteries, How To Write For Success Volumes 1 & 2, Zeeka Chronicles, and I am Cancer Free, are page-turners and award-winners in the collectibles written by her.

How to Write for Success Volume 1 made waves globally as it went on to feature in the Readers’ Choice Awards.

In November 2018 Brenda won two awards from Readers Favorite International for her science fiction book, ‘Zeeka Chronicles’ in the category Young Adult Thriller, and her Memoir, ‘I am Cancer Free’ in the category Health and Fitness.

Three of her books won gold awards in Connection EMagazine Readers’ Choice Awards in 2018 and 2019 - Zeeka Chronicles, Stories People love, and How to Write for Success.

In Sept 2021 her mystery book, Barry Holmes Mysteries, won her the Writer – Best Fantasy Award in the CLR Awards.

In Brenda Mohammed’s group project - Break The Silence: Volumes 1-2 Poetry Anthologies, she raises voices against domestic violence, for women who have a caged bird existence. She has co-authored both books with 178 International poets and both books achieved Amazon No 1 Bestsellers Ranking.

Another group project for Suicide Prevention, A Spark of Hope: Volumes One and Two, also achieved Amazon No 1 Best Sellers ranking.

Very recently, the newest anthology PEACE BEGINS WITH US, also attained Amazon No 1 Bestselling ranking.

Three Magazines for the HTFSLN also touched Amazon's No I ranking.

In her book on her fight Against Cancer – I AM CANCER FREE, her success story and fecund penmanship are strongly wired with her strong grit and survival instinct when the verdant writer Brenda Mohammed fought her battle against cancer.

She has never looked back since then, and the axiom 'Pen Is Mightier Than the Sword' is absolutely true for this Evergreen Writer.

Ten of her publications are Poetry books.

Her 42nd book was Tea Time Poetry, her 43rd was Islands in the Sun, her 44th was Treasured Memories, and her 46th was HE IS THE ONE.

They all attained Amazon No 1 when newly released.

With her outstanding contributions to Literature, she is well-placed to advise on How to Write for Success.

I give the book HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS: VOLUME TWO Five-stars.

BOOK REVIEW OF A ROAD TRAVELLED

‘A Road Travelled: Poetry to delight. is a medley of Author Brenda Mohammed’s thoughts and impressions from her lightbulb moments as she says, rightly.

The varied poems are picked from her amazing life’s journey, poets' sensibilities, and historic moments of ‘World History such as Corona Virus’s murky moments of life. 

There seems to be a feeling of doom and disaster as one reads about the millions of death due to this pandemic. 

She has written on sundry topics, of love’s woes and jilted lovers, broken marriages, and infidelity. But she has a strong faith that the act of kindness and humanity will be more profane and sacred, under these dark clouds, hovering over humanity.

Brenda’s poems are framed in a ‘Global Space’ as she has been a ‘Globe Trotter’, more of wanderlust, and her light-bulb moments have always urged her to pen poems. 

Her persona in poems - has been about flashy destinations from London’s Eye, Buckingham Palace, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Spain, France, Hollywood, the USA, and beautiful Caribbean cruises. So there is a wild chase of emotions.
Her voice is crisp and clear, and her tone is very discerning, keeping in the retrospective of her poetic arena. 

Her poems showcase varied styles from the heightened romance and passions- of Romeo and Juliet types: “ Strange Love, ” yet there is a rebuke and one-sided love, which questions and flatters, the ego of the lover.

In ‘Love Is Not A Theory’ she brings out the colours of life very emotionally and describes how shades of love change with the passage of time. 

The roller coaster ride of love and fame is forever changing. 

Brenda has fashioned this poem in a ‘Monologue ’ style. Love is contagious, universal, and innocent. She gives befitting examples and takes the reader along with her on her journey.
If it frets, the lover’s reaction will also be fretful, sulk, and sullen.
For her, love is enriching, a bond of trust, that doesn’t rust or change with the seasons, nor is it skin deep. There are beautiful analogies made by her and she sure knows the secret of love!
There are voices that speak – love is so fragile, faint, and quiet and yet it gets under your skin! Sometimes her poetic lovers are ‘Prudent’.
The chemistry of the love birds and their mental agony is so well expounded in her love poems. 

I must say, she is so realistic and yet emotive. Lovers in her poetry are the people who crave attention. The twinning of the lovers – is like “ the summer to his winter lips ” and “demeanor under his skin” in his wakeful state. Or must I say, I remember ‘Mid-Summer Night’s Tale! William Shakespeare’s Romantic Plays. Archaic but not deluded.
“Grass Is Not Greener” Is a perfect poesy where all is fair when cupid strikes at the lover’s bosom. But when it withers it fades, creates ego issues, and a rift is felt in relationships. 

Apologies are hard to come and the bottled feelings lead to disaster and illness. 

Her lucid language helps to atone for love and acts balmy on the ruse or fragmented moments. The prolific poetess certainly conveys to act fast and connotes having dopamine. Then resort to anger and guilt.
On the rebound, you may find a better lover, but it may not be any more different than the old lover.
“Dinner Time” - Here the lover is living in a make-belief glasshouse. The lady love is waiting for her lover, or husband to return. As she lays the dinner table for two, she soon realizes she is ‘solo’. The forlorn and feigned feelings in the husband & wife relationship are weaved very diligently, I felt that I was able to understand the rift between the two.
Her lady in love is not deluded she just packs her bags and leaves the home for good. 

Brenda Mohammed as a poetess talks through her characters in poems and she confronts the problem. There is no cacophony of the ego and guilt in her women’s persona. Her women come out to be brave in the end, more mature and discerning. I really loved these poems on love. 

Isn’t ‘Love’ the ‘most misconstrued’ word?
Brenda Mohammed’s collection of poems, “A Road Travelled” has been published. The Cover Page is very catchy which makes one ponder at that ‘Bulb’ which ignites the fire.
The Cover was made by Mary L Schmidt a famous artist and member of How to Write for Success Literary Network.

SHANITA VICHARE INTERVIEWS BRENDA MOHAMMED

 

INTERVIEW OF FOUNDER BRENDA MOHAMMED BY ADMINISTRATOR SHANITA VICHARE

Today I have the pleasure of interviewing our very own Founder of the How to Write for Success Literary Network, Brenda Mohammed.

She is a renowned, multi-award-winning, and bestselling author who published 40 books to date.

The How to Write for Success Literary Network is a non-profit forum with sub-forums as follows:

1.How to Write for Success Literary Forum.

2. Poems for Prevention of Suicide Literary Forum.

3. Literary Forum for Poems Against Domestic Violence.

4.Library of How to Write for Success - BOOKS ONLY. 

5.Grupo Hispaniomundial De Escritores -UHE Trinidad and Tobago.

QUESTION: Hello Brenda. Managing five forums must be a Herculean task. Tell us how you manage five forums.

ANSWER: Shanita, we started off with just the How to Write for Success Literary Forum in February 2018, with a mission to spread Literary Talent Worldwide. 

At that time, we had four Administrators. 

In 2019, we were concerned with the number of suicides in the world, and decided to publish an anthology with poems to prevent suicide. 

Since it was our first attempt at an anthology we kept it low-keyed.

Poets from around the world participated in A Spark of Hope, The Kindle versions of the book were given free of charge, and the book achieved Amazon No 1 bestselling ranking within a couple of days. 

We kept the page we created to collect the poems and converted it into a sub-forum, - Poems for Prevention of Suicide Literary Forum.

In 2020, we published Part II of A Spark of Hope, and that too earned Amazon No 1 bestseller ranking. 

We have received several reports that those books helped to save lives.

The Covid pandemic started early 2020, and caused chaos in the lives of citizens all over the world. 

There was a rise in Domestic Violence and the Administration felt there was need for an anthology against Domestic Violence. Another sub-forum, - Literary Forum for Poems Against Domestic Violence was created for this purpose. 

Volumes One and Two of Break the Silence were published in 2020 and 2021. 

Again, the Kindle versions of the book were given free, and both volumes achieved Amazon No 1 bestseller rank.

With the success of How to Write for Success Literary Network and the growing membership, many members published books and we saw the need to establish the third sub-forum, Library of How to Write for Success - BOOKS ONLY.

The fourth sub-forum, Grupo Hispaniomundial De Escritores - UHE Trinidad and Tobago was formed because of my appointment as National President of UHE Trinidad and Tobago, by the President and Founder of Grupo Hispaniomundial De Escritores, Carlos Hugo Garrido Chalen.

Today, we have seventeen efficient persons who help with different aspects of the Administration of all the forums.

QUESTION: I am proud to be an Administrator in these successful forums, and I know of our many achievements. Can you tell us what else the Network does for its members?

ANSWER: As you know, Shanita, we regularly share valuable information on writing and publishing on our website at https://www.howtowriteforsuccess.net and in the GUIDES section of The Facebook forum.

We opened a YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS5SkhDVzbey_kGWfgSkaaw

The Administration accepts poetry narrations in MP 4 format to post in the channel.

We reward high-quality literature with certificates and awards in our monthly poetry contests, and on special occasions, such as Trinidad and Tobago’s Independence, and Anniversary of the forum. 

On 31st August 2021, 100 poets were honoured for the 59th Anniversary of the Independence of Trinidad and Tobago.

We publish a half-yearly magazine in March and September, and the kindle versions are free of charge.

QUESTION: When did you start writing?

ANSWER: I had two lucrative jobs in Banking and Insurance. 

I never planned on being a writer. 

However, God had other plans for me.

Cancer struck, and after I miraculously survived, I published my first book, I AM CANCER FREE. 

The book was a best seller and I never stopped writing.

QUESTION: You have published forty books. What genres do you write? Tell us about your books on HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS.

ANSWER: My genres are memoirs, romance, science fiction, mysteries, psychological thrillers, children’s books, poetry, and self-help.

My first book on How to Write for Success was published on 1st December 2017, my birthday. 

It was my inspiration to establish the literary forum How to Write for Success and it became my brand name.

This bestselling book received a five-star review from Readers Favorite one month after it was published on December 2017.

In August 2019, it topped all the books in the Non-Fiction category of Connections Emagazine Readers' Choice awards and won the gold medal in the category non-fiction. 

It also placed second in all categories and won the silver medal. The merits of the book HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS were featured in a review in the Ethiopian Herald Sunday Edition on February 16th, 2020. 

The book focuses on the essentials of writing a book to which readers will gravitate. 

New and aspiring authors will learn all about plotting, writing dialogue, narrative, and learn to become best-selling and award-winning authors.

HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS VOLUME TWO was published in early August and deals with steps to self-publishing. 

A writer can save thousands of dollars by learning to self-publish. 

QUESTION: When do you get the time to write?

ANSWER: That’s a good question. Sometimes I wonder about that. 

When you love doing something, it becomes an addiction. Writing is my addiction, and every spare moment I get I am thinking up a story or poem, and writing them. 

I am always filled with ideas for books. 

Sometimes, after a conversation with a friend I get an idea.

QUESTION: Does that mean we can expect more books from you?

ANSWER: Definitely. I already have two more in the pipeline.

QUESTION: I know you have won many awards. 

Can you tell your readers about them?

ANSWER: I have won many literary awards in USA, Peru, Kazakhstan, Seychelles, Nigeria, India, Romania, Argentina, Morocco, Philippines, Hong Kong, Barcelona, and the UK for both myself and the HTWFS forum.

They are too numerous to mention here, but I will highlight a few.

In November 2018, I won two awards from Readers Favorite International for my science fiction book, ‘Zeeka Chronicles’ in the category Young Adult Thriller, and for my Memoir, ‘I am Cancer Free’ in the category Health and Fitness.
