Total Blueprint for World Domination
There is no real world – only the one you create. World dominators are everywhere. Children living dreams and artists building empires. Even me… a Kiwi writer with readers all over the world, so why not? And, more importantly, what if? Total Blueprint for World Domination takes you from this very moment to your greatest dreams. (And if you don’t have a dream? There’s a plan for that, too!)
As a writer, having illustrations to bring my words to life in a new way is so exciting! Especially because they’re superheroes!
The superhero metaphor is one of my favorites. The idea that some superheroes are born, some are created, and some buy themselves the gear and gadgets to make it happen. It means that growth is possible, being better is possible, super is possible. For anyone. It’s all about figuring out your strengths and opportunities, planning for your challenges, and knowing what it is you really want.
The cool part? We have all the power! We get to dig around in our brains and hearts to uncover our truth, and then create a world around that truth. There is no normal, because we’re all a mix of ingredients: strengths and challenges. Neurodivergent, determined, omnivore, Minecrafter, sensitive, sad-sometimes-and-okay-with-it, aspiring billionaire, ever-changing, broken, left-handed, hopeful.
Build on your strengths and acknowledge your challenges - because what if everything you dream of comes from owning exactly who you are?
I’m autistic, diagnosed as an adult. The diagnosis came too late to change the direction of my life, but perfectly timed to change the way I see it. Telling the world (with a TEDx talk! Squeeeal! ) was just the beginning.
You can’t change where you’ve been, but you can take action today that brings your dream world closer. Now is the best time to do or be anything. Start now, figure out what you want, and make it happen. (And if you don’t know what you want? Make finding out, the first part of your plan!)
Let your world domination begin!
"You've got one life, one shot, and all the power to make it happen. Get ready to dream big and live big. It's all up to you. And it starts now."

ReplyDeleteSounds like a very interesting read.
ReplyDeleteAre you a full-time writer? If not, do the people you work with know you're a writer?
ReplyDeleteLooks fun (and now the Ash song "World Domination" is in my head)...
