..And Im Writing A Book✨️🫣✨️

Since I was a little girl, I love reading!! Not for the trends inside of #booktok or literary groups. Literally read books just for the escapism of new worlds, different time periods and new friends in characters.

One day, something whispered to me while reading a book. *Write a book* For years, I tried to writing but my self esteem in my writing was low.

After the birth of my daughter, my world collapsed and I lost everything. Rebuilding myself to take care of her, somehow, the whisper became a command. Thought about all times I attempted to write before and realized I am not a plotter staring at my computer with this giant pile of information I gathered beside me. So I ditched it all and just started typing. 10k words later and im still going strong. Whether I publish or not, who knows but I feel great writing this story.

... Read moreWriting a book is often a transformative journey filled with personal growth, self-discovery, and creativity. Many aspiring writers struggle with self-esteem and the pressure to produce a perfect manuscript from the start. However, the key to overcoming these barriers is to embrace the process, write authentically, and allow the story to evolve naturally. The experience shared here highlights an important aspect: not every writer needs to be a meticulous plotter. Some thrive by simply starting to write, allowing ideas and narratives to flow without the constraints of extensive planning. This approach encourages creativity and reduces overwhelm, making writing accessible even to those who may doubt their skills. Moreover, life events can be powerful catalysts for creativity. The birth of a child and the subsequent challenges can reshape priorities and inspire new perspectives. Writing becomes not only a form of escapism but also a therapeutic outlet to rebuild and process complex emotions. For those considering writing their own stories, joining communities like #booktok can provide support, inspiration, and valuable feedback. Authenticity in writing resonates with readers, creating connections that transcend trends and literary norms. Finally, whether the book is published or remains a personal project, the act of writing itself offers immense satisfaction. It cultivates discipline, nurtures imagination, and allows individuals to share their unique voice with the world.
