I know I said that I was ready to write a series of topics that interested me, but there’s been a slight change in that project.

For the last month, I’ve curated a new blog that’s inspired me to extend writing my thoughts in a poem format.

It’s with great excitement that the work that I’ve been putting into these poems will be part of my new project of self-publishing my first book.

This has been a long time coming. I’ve had so many people saying that I should write a book, I just didn’t know how I’d go about writing one. In the past, so many thoughts had run through my mind as to what I’d write about. I’ve considered writing short stories, children’s books, and memoirs. I knew I could write them, but I wanted something I could resonate with, what I believed to be as genuine as I could be. It struck me that poems would be the best format to express my feelings creatively.

For the last three years, with everything going on, especially being diagnosed with Epilepsy, I went into a confusing place. It was a dark place, but I was also hopeful and felt a sense of freedom.

Doing therapeutic things like running, listening to music, and journaling spurred a need to expand my creativity. I expressed this beyond writing. As I became vegan, my interest in baking came about. I even dipped into playing the keyboards( it’s an ongoing process); all of these things helped my journey toward getting into a place of clarity. I can’t stress enough how journaling has inspired me to write poems.

My choice in going towards the self-publishing route was already a plan that I made even before coming up with a full plan as to what I’d write. I’m just ready to display my work out to the public… big or small.

This is all in fun for me, not something where I’m considering to be famous…it’s a creative project of mine.

On this blog, I’ll be sharing my journey in the stages of the process of writing the book.

The other topics that I’d plan to do will be in pause, as this will be taking up a lot of time for me. I need to focus.

Get ready for this journey and also what I plan on writing: the themes, how long I plan on writing this, and also the title.

Let’s get started!
