A Writers Journey✍️

If the only reward for the race through life is death, then may I forever enjoy taking the long, slow way to the end—leisurely navigating every detour and taking endless country roads. Because if our destination is ultimately the same, at least the journey will be interesting. There are many wonderful aspects of our time on earth, such as growing older and understanding what truly matters.

Over the past decade, I have dedicated myself to researching and writing about the untold stories of women—their struggles, victories, and relationships. It has been an incredibly captivating journey. I find inspiration in every woman, both historical and present, who bravely pursues their dreams, advocates for themselves, and overcomes immense challenges. In a very real sense, my upcoming novel, titled "NINE HUSBANDS of Aunt Ida," explores this theme.

Our connections with others, whether male or female, can lead us down unknown paths. Aunt Ida walked down that path with nine husbands. It serves as a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to pursue our dreams and passions, stand up for ourselves, and never give up. It’s time to think about the people we follow down the path. We should never allow someone else to dictate our path. Your destination is always a choice. It may not be easy, and we may not receive all the support we desire, but it is important to connect with people through stories about life. The only people who count will always be there with support during challenging journeys.

Today’s dose of inspiration comes from Steve Jobs, who said: "The most powerful person in the world is the storyteller. The storyteller shapes the vision, values, and agenda of future generations."

While the writer sets the stage for the journey, future readers keep the story alive. There is strength in numbers, but a writer’s journey typically travels alone. That path is between your fingers and your brain. It’s a writer’s journey.

Follow me on my journey. I love stepping out of my comfort zone, and this story has taken me to places I never dreamed of. The research and time it took to write this story about a female spy have been a challenge I won’t back down from or shy away from. My readers have waited long enough to get this book into their hands, and I pray—no, I know with every fiber of my being—it will be a journey they’ll enjoy.
