be. was largely inspired by experience. I started writing be. after a time of immense personal upheaval and growth. The leaf on the front cover of the book is the image of a scanned leaf that I found on a walk; it was a major source of visual inspiration throughout the writing process. I suppose the four seasons were also a large source of inspiration for how the book's four chapters are organized as well.

Get curious about your own creative process, and find a process that works best for you. When I was writing my first book post-it notes and visual mapping -- literally pinning things to the wall -- was what worked for me. Notecards, a strategy recommended to me by my mentor, went out the window a few days in. For my upcoming book, a three-ring binder has been my best friend. Don't beat your head against a notecard or notebook. Stay curious, and keep trying new things until something sticks. Happy writing!
