I Want to Write a Book, But…

Tip #1 Acceptance

You’ve been chosen to tell the story. Not a fluke!

The seed has been planted in you.

Acknowledge & accept. Say, “Thank you.” Embrace it!

If you don’t tell it, the Divine will give it to someone else to tell.

Tip #2 Don’t Panic!

You don’t have to have gone to school and majored in English to be a storyteller/writer.

Writing is a practiced skill.

Don’t talk yourself out of trying to tell the story.

You have a RIGHT to tell this story!

Breathe, breathe, breathe!! Settle into the story idea.

Tip #3 Release

Let whatever is in your head come out in whatever form it takes (i.e., bits & pieces).

The story does not have to come to you intact.

Write down what you see, hear, smell, feel, & taste.

Write it all down in a journal or record it on your phone, tape recorder or computer.

Tip #4 Commit

Find a safe, secure, quiet & private space – go into your closet. Commit to your gift.

Ask the Divine for the rest of the story/direction.

Walking or meditating is a great way to connect to creativity and/or the Divine. You are releasing the distraction/drama of the day.

“Be still and know…” –silence is golden.
