The book is on it’s way….
I want to share with you that I am finally finally finally writing my book!
This is the first time I’ve mentioned it publicly. Actually only about 10 people know it’s been happening at all, even though I’ve been working on it daily for about 3 months.
Three days ago I finished my first draft. About 53,000 words. I’m taking a break of a few days before I get into the editing process.
I hadn’t mentioned it yet because I have walked away from this project 2 times before, and wanted to make sure that wasn’t going to happen this time too.
Around about 8 years ago I tried to write this book. I wrote the first draft, even getting so far as having 5 people read it and give feedback….then just stopped. I’m glad I stopped when I did. I wasn’t brave enough then. Later I realised that I was so nervous of sharing my controversial message publicly, that not one time in the entire book had I actually said YOU CAN HEAL COMPLETELY AND PERMANENTLY FROM GRIEF AFTER A DEATH IN YOUR LIFE….which is kinda the whole damn point of my message, any of my writing, and all of my coaching work. In hindsight that book couldn’t have been any more watered down than it was.
A few years later I tried again, starting afresh. I can’t even remember how far I got or what happened there now….but suffice to say I am not a published author, so it all went awry somewhere.
BUT THIS BOOK….this book is everything I know about healing from grief and how to do it. No punches pulled, no watering down. It’ll be a book to help those who know healing must be possible, and who want it, and who are willing to do some work for that.
It feels like it’ll be a long process – but it is happening and will be on it’s way. And telling you here holds me that bit more accountable to getting it done (because I fully expect the editing process to be very blurgh).
So watch this space. I’ll keep you posted on progress as I go.
