I’m doing it!

I have been wracking my brain for months trying to think of some undefeatable idea for a book to write. Anything from Science Fiction to romance to Nonfiction. However, today it hit me. I have to start by writing what I know. And what I know is something that can help millions of other people. I have decided to write about my journey with depression and self harm and how I powered through it and defeated it. I am now coming up on three years of no self harm. Self harm is a lot like a drug. It becomes an addiction and it is honestly one of the hardest things I have ever had to kick. I have gone through many heartbreaking endings and changes in the past three years but have still found the strength within myself to not ever do that to my body again. I started getting tattoos and I saw the beauty that I could put on my body and promptly decided to never, EVER do anything ugly to my body again. I also know that if I can make it through something as terrifying as depression and the affect it has had on me, anyone can. I am the weakest person I know and still I found a never ending supply of strength. I am so super excited to get going on this book and start my legacy.

They say you just know when you find your purpose, and I do. I found this idea and suddenly everything came into view. I can and will change the world with my words.

Let me know if you would like to be a part of the process and possibly input some of your experiences with depression and/or anxiety. I love you all!

  1. Go for it! Are you in Oregon? There is a wonderful women writers group to join for workshop help with writing every Weds from 12-2 pm at Clackamas Community College and a number of published writers!
