I wrote a book !!!

6/2 Edited to

... Read moreWriting a book is often described as a journey, and I can truly relate to this expression through my recent experience finishing 'The Lady in the Mirror.' The process of moving from an initial spark of a dream to holding the completed manuscript was both challenging and rewarding. During the final reading stage, I found myself deeply reflecting on the themes I explored, such as healing and personal growth. The connection between writing and emotional healing became evident as I revised chapters, making sure each word carried meaning and authenticity. Setting clear goals helped me stay motivated throughout the writing process. Breaking down the task into manageable sections allowed steady progress despite the inevitable moments of self-doubt. It’s important to celebrate small victories, like completing a chapter or polishing a page—these milestones contributed greatly to maintaining momentum. One key lesson I learned was the importance of embracing imperfection. The quest for perfection can delay or even prevent completion. Accepting that the book is a living work, open to future editions and improvements, helped me push through the final steps. Finally, sharing the book publicly, from the announcement to launch, has been a thrilling experience. It brings a sense of accomplishment and opens new opportunities for connection through readers’ feedback. If you’re considering writing your own book, remember that the journey is just as important as the destination—immerse yourself fully, allow your passion to guide you, and celebrate every step along the way.

I wrote this for the Christian girlies going through the storm. The ones still praying but barely hanging on. The ones who feel called but also kinda crushed. This isn’t just encouragement—it’s a battle plan. It will help you: • Hear God clearly in the chaos • Pray with po

I wrote a book… and it flopped
This might be the realest thing I’ll ever post on here but I’d like to talk about it. In April 2023 I published a poetry collection and it flopped. I had been working on it for years and put my heart and soul into it. It was always my dream to be published author and poet and I hoped someday I’d be

Why I wrote a 📚
"You're not good at writing, you're not good at research, you're only good at filling out forms. When the interns start, they're going to push you out because everybody wants to work with the best... And that's not you." 😬 I actually couldn't talk about that lunch
