Promoting "The Messenger: A Journey Into Hope" book & CD -- with interviews, social media, and promo tour. I'm having a blast...but it's difficult to always be in promo mode...I'm horribly fearful of coming across like I always want something from people. I believe in the value of these projects, and am so thankful for the launch team that helps spread the word.

There are tricks to stir your mind. But sometimes you just have to walk away. And then come back. Certain things can block us for reasons not always clear. I don't think I can always be a free-flowing creative vessel, as much as I'd like!

Having had written. The process can be horrible. But the end result is incredible.

Don't give up. Don't wait until you have enough time. You're never going to feel like there's enough time. Even if you just write a sentence, you're starting your book. Be patient with the process and allow yourself to be crappy. Edit yourself later...but don't edit yourself before you even start. Try to write something in a way that nobody else could write.
