Writing a book is one of the hardest (and most meaningful) things you’ll ever do.But if I could go back and talk to myself before I started writing, these are the three things I wish I knew:1️⃣ It’s much harder and takes far longer than you think.This ISN'T because you’re “doing it wrong,” but because writing a book is a big, beautiful challenge.2️⃣ You grow more than you expect.The writing process reshapes your confidence, your creativity, and your clarity as an author.3️⃣ It’s unbelievably rewarding.Finishing your book (the book that only you can write) is worth every minute you invest. Every. Single. Minute. If you’re a new or aspiring writer, I hope this encourages you to keep going.Your story is worth the work, even if it takes longer than you'd hoped. Keep going! You've got this, writer.
