Thank you Angela for this question - it means a great deal to me. I often say that writing transformational novels is an inspired way of being. I needed to express what was in my soul. The Life I Didn't Notice was the result of listening to thousands of women during #whytime - a one on one conversation with their soul. The common theme that continually showed up was: "I want to notice and feel my one precious life - the ONE I'm meant to live."

As a write, I get inspired by movies, films, reading other great writers. It's about listening to your soul, acting on the inspired actions that really light you up. When things get challenging, I challenge the discomfort into writing - BLOGS, supporting other writers or international speaking on stage. Everything is connected. Everything is one.

A reader MO HAGAN recently called me "The Dr. Seuss of the modern age... oh the places Gerry Visca will take us." For me, I love creating powerful and transformative stories of REAL people facing REAL challenges. In 'The Life I Didn't Notice Series' I was inspired by a friend who suffered a near-death experience and I wanted to weave in real feelings and emotions that showed up for her. Writing for me is an inspired way of being. I love all of the many phases from conceiving the idea, writing in Tuscany, the onerous task of editing and personally sketching my own illustrations to overseeing the book publishing process.

I share a course called: "The BIGGER Story" so you can see some of my detailed advice on my website at gerryvisca.com
My top tips are: Go deeper, really connect with your soul. Create the time. To be a serious writer you have to seriously write. This includes creating the time and really devoting yourself to your craft.

I just finished adapting the 2 books from 'The Life I Didn't Notice' series into a 4-part movie series screenplay. This is really exciting as I have been working with film consultants, creating all the storyboards and getting this book series to the film industry.

I read about 4 novels a month ranging from various genres and I retreat to the hills of Tuscany to listen to my soul and write my transformational novels.

It came to me after thousands of #whytime sessions - one on one conversations with women (a few men) and their soul. I realized the themes that were showing up were:
I can't notice my life!
I am struggling with the pursuit of more.
I want to remember who I am and my purpose in life.
