Embracing the Messy Middle
|
|
|
Writing my second book has led me into the messy, tangled middle where stories truly come to life. The initial excitement has worn off, and the path forward feels murky.
|
Kelsey's journey is unfolding in unexpected ways—she's making choices I didn't plan for, and that's both frustrating and wonderful.
|
I've realized that embracing this uncertainty is essential. Instead of fighting the messiness, I'm leaning into it.
|
Kelsey's struggles mirror real life—navigating motherhood, career challenges, and personal desires that don't fit neatly into a box.
|
So, how do I navigate this phase?

A Kindle Milestone
Readers have devoured over 10,000 pages of Painting Celia on Kindle Unlimited! This warms my heart and keeps me writing.

My First 2-Star Review
Another author first! Not everyone will love every book, and that's okay. Painting Celia has no 1-star reviews yet, and that's a win!

Fall is here and the rain hasn't deterred Dory from living his best life out on the river deck.
|
The weather has turned chilly enough that we won't leave the door open for him, and we're not putting in a cat door either. Poor Dory has to ask to be let in or out.
|
He does this by sitting directly in front of the door and resting the top of his head on it. Then he waits until he is noticed.
|
Luckily for the little prince, we're always watching. He gets personal door service a few times an hour!

WILL YOU HELP ME?
|
If you have read (or listened!) to Painting Celia and not yet left a review, would you please write a quick one for me? Reviews are what lead other readers to the book. The most valuable places to leave one are Amazon and Goodreads.
|
I would be so grateful, my friends!
