Simply step away from the project for as long as you must, to give your brain time enough to catch up with your thoughts. We know quite well exactly what we want to convey, but for whatever reason, we haphazardly draw a blank, and run the risk of derailing the entire manuscript, unless we see the block for what it is, and remove ourselves respectfully, and return with a better frame of mind.

Hmm, I wish I could say the accolades, awards, Praise and financial benefits, but none of those things have occurred for me yet, and I can say "yet", because I know it's coming! However, for now I'd have to stop short at being ecstatic about the accomplishment, just the mere fact that I can type my book names into Google, and they actually populate gives me sheer joy, and I'd have to admit that this question just made me want to get back to the book, that I've had on hold for nearly 2 years. Thank you for the question!

Welp, to be honest, I'm caught in between two separate desires. I still have several book ideas inside of me, and the book that I've been working on since the pandemic craziness came to be our new normal; ("Alone NO MORE" -title), is a much needed book, concerning mental health, mental health awareness, suicide ideation, suicide awareness and suicide prevention, for many people's current situations and fragile mindsets, and I definitely would like to finish it. But, my other books are merely sitting on the shelf, because I have no clue how to properly promote them 🤪😩😵💫... So, perhaps I'll pursue another of my endeavors, then revert back to the book 💖

My inspiration grew over the years, from multiple friends and family members telling me constantly "Wow, your life story is amazing, you most certainly should write about the things you've endured and overcome". So, once I retired, I went for the gusto, and haven't looked back. I will say this though, I don't know much about the book writing world and how to properly navigate and maneuver, so I didn't promote either of my books properly; causing them to lie dormant for years. But, I earnestly believe I'm back in stride again 😜

The most recent, "Sister Sistah Connection", evolved from my desire for myself and my 3 grown daughters, to have a better relationship with each other, than I did with my mom and my 5 sisters; which was stained and horrible in every arena and aspect imaginable. To add, I have 8 granddaughters, that I'm determined to raise wayyyyyy different than all of us before them were. Thank you for your question, it's greatly appreciated.
