Writing a book or wanting to write one?

Book-writing can be a truly life-changing experience (if you allow it to be).

Recently I invited 31 inspiring authors to share  their wisdom about how writing a book has changed their lives.

And now I'm sharing the juice with you!

After writing two transformational books myself, and supporting many other women to do the same, I’ve become enthralled by the deep and mysterious magic that’s activated when we choose to say, ‘Yes’ to ourselves and commit to writing a book.

Of course, we want to inspire change and new perspectives in our readers. But the transformation that happens as an author, both throughout the writing process and by actually releasing your book into the world, is surprisingly potent.

I know I’ve been blind-sided in the most disruptive and delicious way by some of the changes my books have brought into my life.

Writing a book is like casting a spell. And although we can never be completely sure what’s going to be unleashed during the process, we choose to do it anyway.

This, unbound one, is a heroine’s journey.

Each book has the potential to be a magical portal; a doorway to a new world - both for you and your reader.

Each book has a very specific medicine that it’s here to share with us.

And each book gives us the opportunity to alchemise the magnificent imperfection of our experience into gold.

The truth is that anyone can write a book. You might disagree, but we could all get a few thousand words down and put them together in a book.

What fascinates me is what happens when we allow the book-writing process to go deeper, when we say, ‘Fuck it!’, get naked and dive way down beneath the surface, letting go of the shoulds and any need to be acceptable, sensible or approved of.

What fascinates me is what happens when we make ourselves fully available to being transformed by the very act of writing a book.

You see, at its heart, my work is all about transformation. And I’m pretty certain your’s is too. Whether you’re a coach, a healer, a therapist, an artist, a channeller or an activist, your aim is to create space for others to access some kind of transformation; for them to move from one place to another.

And when you see book-writing as an alchemical process, when you allow yourself to be transformed by the process of writing, you make space for your reader to experience the same.

Writing a book can change your life.

It can open you up to experience more of yourself.

It can take you in new directions.

It can call you to embody your work and your message at a deeper level.

And it can put you in the way of unexpected and expansive opportunities.

Believe me, I’ve experienced ALL of the above through writing my books. And in this community project I’m inviting 31 magical writers to share how writing a book changed their lives.
