Writing a critical turning point in my story I had to slow down, take it in small steps. More thinking than words.
Happy writing exploration!

I shaved off 12 pages from part 1 of my manuscript. That feels like a win.
Ready to move to part 2.
May the words align for you!

The first few drafts of my first #memoir were complete rewrites. This time I’m reviewing what I’ve written as I go, considering how it fits into the whole story I want to tell.
Happy Friday!

True. And sitting with the pain, discomfort, sadness eventually leads to the sweet reward of freedom.
Sometimes, in trauma recovery, getting better does not always mean feeling better.
We developed coping skills, distractions & distortions to feel better in the short term, but they didn't heal. Healing doesn't just mean feeling better, it means becoming better at feeling ❤️🩹
