I realise I cannot simply pull a load of blogs from this blog site, and shove them in a book. So, I have decided on writing chapters for each main section of my healing journey over the last 4 years, starting at my ‘breakdown’ which was actually my ‘breakthrough’ (after decades of suppression/avoidance etc).
Then each chapter will have a section written, plus accompanying blog posts as diary entries, with relevant poems and quotes I have written. I’ve written over 700 quotes, and over 40 poems, so I have many to choose.
So, hopefully that will flow well and make sense to readers.
I’m concentrating on the first 3 chapters, ready to be evaluated by an author who has agreed to work with me on my book in January.
Plus, my doctor/counsellor has said she’ll read my book and give her honest evaluation, as she knows I only want a book published that will help people. And boy will she be honest! Not sure I’m ready for that lol!
This is how I feel sometimes about writing this book lol!

Excellent! I can’t wait to read it!! I’m sure this book writing journey will be very very helpful to you and your readers when you publish. You already have developed such an engaging writers voice. Be sure to plan on doing lots and lots of self care. Be well dear Lilly. ❤️
