If we were sitting together right now and you told me, "I don't know where to start." I probably wouldn't begin by talking about chapters. I'd ask you this: "What experience changed the way you see the world?" 🌍 Because books rarely begin with an outline. They begin with meaning. Start there. Everything else becomes much easier to build around. I'd love to know, what experience comes to mind for you? Share it in the comments! 🤩

For a long time, I thought some experiences in my life were simply things I had to carry quietly. When I started writing , I realized something unexpected: Writing wasn't only about creating "a book". It helped me understand parts of myself I hadn't fully understood before. It helped me solve the problem about stop letting other people´s expectations to define your life. Maybe that's one of the reasons stories matter so much. We don't always write because we already understand the meaning. Sometimes we write because we're trying to understand it. I'm friendly curious: Is there something from your own life that you haven't fully understood until you started putting it into words?

So, behind the scenes my team and I have been working on my website and it's ALMOST complete! 😁 This will be for my business, The Storyteller's Path! But there's still something missing... I want to promote some of YOUR books on my website! Since you've been here in my community and I want to give you support, I thought this would be a great way to get more eyes on your books!

I was thinking about something this morning... I've talked to writers who have been working on their book for six months. Others for six years. Some for twenty. Every single one of them felt like they were behind. 😬 But behind compared to who? 🤔 Writing a book isn't a race. It isn't about how quickly you finish. It's about continuing to come back to the page.📃 ✍️ One sentence ✍️ One paragraph ✍️ One chapter at a time If you've written anything recently, even if it's just a few sentences, You've written. 🎉 What's one small win you're celebrating today?
