▫️What is serotonin?

Serotonin acts as a neurotransmitter, a type of chemical that helps relay signals from one area of the brain to another. Although serotonin is manufactured in the brain, where it performs its primary functions, some 90% of our serotonin supply is found in the digestive tract and in blood platelets.

▫️What is the link between serotonin and depression?

There are many researchers who believe that an imbalance in serotonin levels may influence mood in a way that leads to depression. Possible problems include low brain cell production of serotonin, a lack of receptor sites able to receive the serotonin that is made, inability of serotonin to reach the receptor sites, or a shortage in tryptophan, the chemical from which serotonin is made.

No one Understands!

Self-Marketing a Self-Published Novel

Will Pennington's avatarThe Writings of William C. Pennington

Writing a novel is easy. Marketing a novel is hard, especially when you’re not fond of selling yourself or trying to get a stranger to buy a product. It’s a special type of person who not only enjoys enticing people to buy their products, but who can also smile in the face of rejection.

I disliked going door-to-door as a young boy and selling things. No kid should be put under that kind of pressure. I sold chocolate bars, flower seeds, and magazine subscriptions during school fundraisers. The “No Soliciting” sign in front of some houses may as well have been written in Greek. The “mean old man” in my neighborhood was mean not because his entire yard was fenced in and the no soliciting sign fastened conspicuously next to the gate handle. No. He was mean because he yelled at kids for trying to sell him things when the…
