Hmmmm....Coming home late at night, the house is dark. You reach for the light switch and feel another hand is already there.

Everything and anything! Since I finished writing and publishing my own book, I've had a wee bit more time for pleasure reading but I'm also delving head-first into business and self-improvement books. Currently I'm reading a difficult read about post-partum psychoses that a friend wrote. It's called The Masked Smile.

After my daughter Katie died in a car accident, I found myself terribly lost and alone and looking for books and resources that would tell me how to cope. I found great books about the theories of grief and inspiring stories about mothers who had endured child loss but could not find a book that told me HOW to move forward with my grief, so I decided to write one.

My inspiration was my daughter so it was easy to feel inspired. I think we ALL have a story inside of us and when we are ready, the writing becomes easy.

I am now working on a supplement guide for my book that will be available for free to readers and will be part of a book club which I will be running in a private Facebook group.

Get crystal clear on what you are writing and for who. The preparation phase of writing a book was KEY for me. I invested 3 months into creating a proposal that completely changed my book and took a so-so idea to something that I am so proud of. Get some help and direction if you are new to this kind of writing.

I have to say that I was very lucky - this is something I never ran into. If anything the words came so fast, I had trouble keeping up! When I needed a break, I would go back and edit what I had already written. I didn't realize how much I loved writing.
