My New Author Journey

our work should equip
the next generation of women
to outdo us in every field
this is the legacy we’ll leave behind

progress – rupi kaur

There’s nothing more relaxing in life to me than sitting outside, surrounded by nature, reading a good book. I’ve been forever obsessed with books ever since I was a child. I dreamed of becoming an author someday.

My first book titled Divorced: The Beginning of the End, took roughly one year for the entire book publishing and writing process. However, telling my story, actually putting pen to paper, took me seven long years. Seven years to gain enough courage to finally draft this particular story…

I’ve always written in a diary and travel journals growing up. I’d end up sharing my travel stories with my family and friends because I always had a natural written comedic spin that everyone seemed to thoroughly enjoy! I loved writing these true tales of mine, always adding a positive spin on them…I have a passion for writing, telling stories. Even the hard ones that hurt your heart and open yourself up to a world of judgement and criticism.

Any human who creates entertainment for the world is bound to be harshly criticized, especially by people who sit back and don’t create anything for themselves. I’ve been in a place in my life for a long time now where I truly don’t care about people’s negative opinions or perception of me. Unless these authors can show me their best-selling novel…I’ll be comfortably sitting over here reading my books and not giving a single f***!

I’m not afraid of failing
I’m afraid my potential
might set the world on fire
