When The Words Are Emotional – Writing My Book

Last night, I started writing a rough paragraph for my novel and I got all emotional. To me, it’s not just a story, the story is me. I cried and I cried and I still want to cry.

Here’s the thing… I want to write, write, and write until my book is finished. But, sometimes my focus is on things like going back to work after a long weekend—when I really want to write my story.

How do I write when there are financial burdens and expectations? Paying bills? Going to work? Making the money to feel safe enough to write? I don’t know.

Of course, every night, I step outside to see the stars; especially Vega. Most days, I take a walk in my local park—like I did today. That helps me ground myself…

Now that my weekend is over and work looms tomorrow… How do I write in stillness? I feel if I had more time off to focus on my book, then I could write.

Maybe I will only write a page today? Or maybe I won’t at all. But I know this—I will write my book and it will be published and people will read it. And they will say, “wow, oh wow!”

Part of that is finding a graphic designer to design my book cover—more “wow, oh wow!”

So what can I do now to feel calm, safe, and steady? Maybe its reading a book? I’m looking at you: The Woman and Her Stars by Penny Haw—sitting on my desk. ✨⭐️

Honestly, I don’t know and that’s okay. I will sit with the quiet and wait for clarity.

That’s all I got for now…

Until next time… Find your joy within. You are loved, you come from love and you are nothing but love ❤️.
