Book Writing Journey: Why Am I Writing This Book?

The apparent WHY for writing my book about Writing from Source is to share this insightful, enlightening process with significantly more people.

The Writing from Source process is a gift that life gave me about two years ago. It first materialized as three statements I crafted to use in a workshop. Six months later, I used the statements as the writing prompt for a free teleseminar series on surviving the holiday season.

Encouraged by positive feedback, I started offering free, monthly teleseminars using the three statements. Participants’ ongoing comments about the invaluable insights and guidance they received prompted me to continue. These sessions are now in their 19th month.

Several participants have repeatedly told me that I need to get Writing from Source out there in a bigger way. I finally listened, and the idea to write a book took form.

Until now, I held back from talking about Writing from Source except to those who I thought would "understand" because I was concerned that people would find it too spiritual, metaphysical, "woo-woo," "out there," or "touchy-feely." More to the point, I hesitated because I was concerned about what people would think of me. I was afraid of showing my truth.

And, admittedly, I still am. Hence, the deeper reason—the compelling WHY—for writing this book.

Writing a book about Writing from Source and openly sharing my writing journey provide the means for me to step boldly, courageously and transparently into my calling, which is to serve as a catalyst for others to discover the power that resides within them, believe in it, listen intently to what it tells them, and wholeheartedly trust it to guide them.

When I encounter hurdles during the writing process, this is the compelling WHY I will rely on to propel me forward on my book writing journey!
