CREATIVE RESILIENCE (PERSONAL EXPERIENCE)

-


Greetings dear earthlings, how are you this fine and sunshiny day, apparently we've another week of this hot weather. But I'm not here today to talk about the weather. I'm writing of something close to my heart and the never ending journey it's taken me on recently.

I never realised what an enormous struggle publishing your book of anything would be. There have be some very lonely times mixed, emotions and moments of praise during this process. I know from fellow writers I'm not alone with these feelings. I wanted to give you the reader the best of my writing heart. My main beating heart belongs to the those I love dearly (two hearts in one).

It has been a real roller coaster, and I don't think anyone can see or know the The phrase "my heart rule my head" means to make decisions based on emotions and feelings rather than logic or reason. It signifies prioritizing intuition and personal desires over rational thought. In essence, it's about allowing feelings to guide one's actions and choices, rather than relying on intellect this creativity. I find it very hard to reign it in, often characterized by the need to tell folk my thoughts of being in the presence of a situation, emotion or feelings.

Recently discovering new avenues in my writing journey. My writing is being recognised and used in different ministries. This year i become a regular writer for a Christian based social media platform. Connecting with other writers across the United Kingdom and beyond. Learning when is a good time to rest and recharge. But most importantly leaning into God more and trusting his will and purpose for me as a creative human-being.


Also having another poem included into the next trilogy of 'Wheelsong Poetry Anthologies. Wheelsong Poetry Anthology six will be coming out in the upcoming weeks. So keep an eye out for details on how you can purchase a copy. Again money raised through the sales of these books goes directly to 'Save The Children Charity'.

If you are a writer or thinking about becoming a writer I'm happy to connect with you. I cannot promise I am an expert but I can certainly, depending on what you need direct you to the appropriate resource. As always thank you for listening to me ramble on. Don't forget you leave me a comment down below if you wish.

Prolific Poetess 


MATTHEW 5:14 -16 (ERV BIBLE)
“You are the light that shines for the world to see. You are like a city built on a hill that cannot be hidden. People don’t hide a lamp under a bowl. They put it on a lampstand. Then the light shines for everyone in the house. In the same way, you should be a light for other people. Live so that they will see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven."

GETTING PUBLISHED WITH KDP

-

Very recently several people have asked me about my experiences and knowledge of Kindle Direct Publishing (kdp for short). So I thought as I'm no professor in kdp we'd explore it together. I realise this may not be a subject for everyone, as most of my other blogs have been. So, Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) is a self-publishing platform that allows authors to publish and sell books on Amazon: There are no upfront costs or inventory orders required to publish with KDP. Authors retain full rights to their books, which is not typical with traditional publishing houses. As the Author can have direct access to their books on Amazon and can create a product detail page. As an Author you can make your books available to readers around the world. You have control over your book's content, design, price, audience. But having said that, please be aware, as I have found, you might have to negotiate book sizes. An author can earn anything up to 70% royalty. Also as an au...

TEN YEARS A WRITER

  T oday I’m celebrating ten years since the start of my writing journey. It all started back in 2015. I had already many years of creativity behind me especially card making and embroidery. I never even considered ten years later I would become the writer I am today. It all started back in 2015, circumstances at the time weren’t great and often my frustrations would often be active or verbal. Several people in my home church including the pastor at the time Derek Hughes encouraged me to keep a written journal. It really helped me pen my frustrations down on paper than outwardly getting my frustrations out on others. During this season I really felt the presence of Jesus helping and guiding me. It was about a year and a half of journaling, that I was unknowingly penning my daily journal in poetry form.  Over the years my poetry has developed: not only writing privately but also getting commissions from the church and other platforms I’m involved with. In 2018 my writin...

THE WAITING

This morning I have been just been reading a friends bible devotion, they were talking about 'waiting and the different aspects of waiting. This reminded me of a time recently when 'God the Father' reminded me to 'wait.' This inspired me to look deeper into the subject of waiting and explore this further both as believers and non believers. Psalm 33:20-22 “Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name. Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you.” The English dictionary refers to waiting or wait as;  • stay where one is or delay action until a particular time or event. • stay where one is or delay action until (someone) arrives or is ready. • Be left until a later time before being dealt with. • A delay until a person's arrival. • remain in readiness for a purpose. Last year God kept telling me to especially at a writers retreat to 'WAIT' in releasin...
