It is a novel, but seemed like based on personal experience. It intrigued me and now your guides advice intrigues me. I am going with your takeaway, to just keep writing.

Who cares if this box is labelled "memoirs", "novel" etc.? I feel that you should trust yourself that whatever flows out of your awesome heart and beautiful fingers will be simply RIGHT and will once again touch all of your readers who are suckers for anything your write :-) me included :-) "Just do it", just "let it flow" and "let go of the outcome".

Sounds like something the world is waiting for and don't believe you would be getting the nudge and guidance if it wasn't worth it. <br /><br />I love your poems and writing (especially, the realness and authenticity of "The Invitation") and have faith this will open something up you've been longing for all along. God bless on your new journey.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14342681914492890553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524364334037666877.post-67261214700321873912019-01-07T18:45:43.250-05:002019-01-07T18:45:43.250-05:00Thank you Merrikate! :-)Thank you Merrikate! :-)Oriahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13153842083329682011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524364334037666877.post-42062561506611825382019-01-07T16:33:03.425-05:002019-01-07T16:33:03.425-05:00What a gift your openness is to us, always, dear O...What a gift your openness is to us, always, dear Oriah! YES to this 'beginner mind' affirmation above: <br />" So there we have it: the shining star of my own longing to tell a story appearing in the dark night of not-knowing how. So, I gather my provisions (silence, solitude, and the quiet company of fellow travellers) and step into the journey, not knowing where it will take me. That's the thing about creative work of any kind- it's a lot like life: unpredictable, sometimes scary, and filled with dark nights and shining stars."<br />And a warm hug of thanks for it. May we all on our respective thresholds now relax and follow the adage *Trust The Process*. Here's to freeing fears and expectations and to keeping a happy hopeful eye on those night-framed shining stars!
