I am back, what was I doing and how school works in Italy.

It's been a month since my last article on this blog but I am now back, and I wanted to have a fresh start with something new, today I am going to explain to you how school works in Italy, maybe by my twitter some people could have been confused at what I was doing so today I am here to explain everything, I thought it could be interesting to know something new. So, we start school at the age of three years old, we don't do anything school related until five, we just learn how to speak properly, how to start having good relationships with people and in general how to behave.  When we turn five we start learning how to read, how to write, we learn a little bit of math and colors, numbers and easy stuff of English.  At the age of six we start elementary school and we graduate from it at the age of ten. In elementary school we study history, English, geography, Italian grammar, math, music, art, science and religion, in elementary school you can be sooo lucky and have go...

How to monetize your blog.

I know that this topic is kind of a Tabu because not so many people want to talk about earning money, because showing off the money that we have earned by our hard work is bad, obviously. I am here anyways to tell you about how to monetize your blog because I think that if you are working so hard to raise your blog there is nothing bad on wanting to earn some money out of it, at the end everyone could do it but who is talking about you is just too lazy to put their but on the chair and working on their blog.  Anyways, I will start by saying that I don't earn a cent out of this blog, probably because I am not very good at marketing it, however I know a lot of ways that you can use to earn some money out of your blog and even make a living out of it, I have researched some ways and some of them I have tested, but don't expect to be millionaire by the end of the week, you are not! Or maybe you could if you have some good marketing strategies which I don't have.  Affil...

Your life as a book tag

I tried to come up with blog ideas and something fun that popped up in my head was to try to respond to a tag, a book tag. It's been a while since I have brought an article about books in my blog, but since I have a little bit of time and I can write some articles I thought it could be fine. So, I've chosen the "Your life as book tag." I don't know who first did it, I just found it in a picture on google images, so if you know who is the creator let me know in the comments and I'll make sure I'll write it here. The first question is: the letters of your name as the title of a book. K: well can't think of any books with the K L: L o Hobbit A: A lice in wonderland R: can't think of a book that starts with the letter R E: E nchanted by Heather Dixon N: N onostante tutto ti amo ancora (yes, it's a book in italian, I hope it counts) Count your age along your book shelf, what book is it?  Another book in Italian, I read in English b...

Why did I decide to publish with a pen name?

Every time a writer finds himself writing and wanting to publish his work he starts to think if to use his real name or a pen name.  Well, I am one of those that decided to use a pen name, in fact, Klaren O'Connor is not my real name but a name that I've been using since I was like 12 for quite everything, to subscribe in games, to talk in room chats, and also my friends started calling me Klaren, I just loved how this name sounded and I thought of using it for my books.  Now, the reasons why, I have a lot of reasons why I decided to publish my books with a pen name instead of my legal name and the first one is privacy.  Obviously, I've never thought about becoming a super famous writer, with million of sold copies, I thought it was a lot if I've sold fifty, but still I didn't want my name put out there, since I am also on social medias, I have a twitter account, a YouTube channel (that I don't really use), an Instagram account, I have this blog, I ju...

N26, Your free bank account.

Hi guys, thanks for having clicked on my post today.  I wanted to share something with you.  First of all I am sorry that I am not posting a lot lately but school is killing me and now that I am in easter break I obviously got sick, anyways, today I am here with a different type of article because we are talking about a free bank account.  I have been using N26 for a year now and I just love it.  N26 is a German bank and I think they work just in the European Union, so if you're outside of the EU probably you can't order it but they are expanding and they will be soon delivered in other countries outside of the EU.  By the way, this article is not sponsored, the bank doesn't even know that I exist, I was thinking about making different articles, and this one popped up in my mind.  Anyways, I have the free version of N26 the transparent one, I'll leave you the site so you can check it because I don't feel comfortable in putting my card her...
