I love that you are sharing what I’ve had term as “the book before the book”. The book that is for us. The book that comes first to help us process whatever is inside of us and acts as our own kind of therapy before we move on to the book(s) that is meant to be published (for others).
I’ve just come to realisation that the boom I’ve been writing is my book before the book. It has been the therapy for me that I needed. Before i go on to write the book that I was born to write (for others). I had and still have resistance to this process. I wanted to be the exception and bypass this stage. I am deeply confused now by what it is I’m meant to be writing as “the book”. It’s a tricky time whilst I give space to what it meant to be and what will come to me. And it trust in that (when the illusion of needing/wanting to know now is trying to take over).
The one thing I do know is that what I have already written will be repurposed in some other way. And to me, witnessing the repurposing of yours is confirmation of that 🙂
ooh that is so interesting. I always thought this would be my first book, but like you say, it is being repurposed here, and my book is about something else. The one that's being published is influenced by all the previous writing and all the previous experiences - that will come through whatever the subject matter.
Perhaps my therapy has been searching for the beauty in the world after a prolonged period of pain... It's also interesting of thinking of a book as 'for you' and/or 'for others'.... it's making me reflect on the book I'm writing now, thank you!! x
What a magical experience 💜
thank you, it really was x

Just gorgeous 😍 Why is it that the ones who have the least are often quickest to share what they have (and vice versa)?
