Writing Through My Grief
Life has a way of changing in the blink of an eye.
That's what happened to me on the 13th of May.
I Ioss my first love, my mother to pancreatic cancer stage four.
The emotional, mental and physical pain that I'm enduring is unexplainable. I have deadlines that need to be met for the second series of my book "Caustic". I need to get prepared for upcoming book events and I am in the grieving process of coping with the understanding that I will never see, hear, talk and touch my mother again.
I decided to write... Not the follow-up to my book. Channel those thoughts that I have inside, and put it on paper. Write about the good and the bad of my experience with grieving my mother death.
Honestly, this is the best writing that I have ever written, as a writer....

How did you decide to start writing your first novel
All authors will give you various types of reasons on how they started creating their literary work.
I start from a dream, that I received. Instantly, I start writing down every detail and character dialogue that I remember from my dream.
Everyone has a process, what's yours of starting the novel you never completed, and or need to complete.
Quick suggestion, whatever started you to write, use that energy to finish your novel or start a new novel.

Self-care for Readers & Writers
Have you found yourself as a reader or writer, consumed by the literary embodiment of work, you decided to read or write about???
If so, it's imperative as a reader and/or writer, to acquire a moment of silence; from the stories that we've let occupied our mind.

Stay Encourage
Do you ever feel like giving up?
Well I'm here to tell you a little secret that keeps me motivated.
I was once told, "No one is going to buy a black girl book". "You're going to be writer"? "Who told you that you can write"? "You're not a part of any major book club; you do not have a large following on social media and you want to become a author"? "You should change your book cover"? "Do you have a celebrity who can endorse your book"?
If I would have listen to the "nay sayers", I would have never stepped out on faith and completed my trilogy series first book titled, "Caustic".
I have went to book events, and only sold two books, and I have went to events and sold fifty books. I am encouraged by the readers and those who are willing to be engulfed in the characters that I have written about.
Stay encourage and follow your passion. You have the tenacity of courage; so encourage yourself.
