What’s holding you back?

Someone says to me, I want to write this book. My name’s on the cover. Which I’ve designed.

But the writing? I’m stuck.

I ask, what’s holding you back?

I hear of kids. Parents needing care.

I hear of spreadsheets and redrafts and multiple Chapter 1s.

I’m sad. They’re in pain, yearning to write their book.

I could offer resources, but truthfully? That’s not going to get them unstuck.

I say, it’s normal. I’ve seen it before, time and again.

I’m holding space for you to feel this pain.

And you will find the way to move forward.
