Bestseller Blueprint: Unveiling the 4 Steps to Literary Success
Mar 09, 2024This newfound realization led me to a significant decision. Despite my initial reluctance, I enrolled in a business program, one that promised not only to refine my entrepreneurial skills but also to venture into an area I had never imagined for myself: writing. The program included a week-long writing retreat in Hawaii—a prospect I found enticing, even if only for the scenic inspiration, since I didn't initially identify as a writer.
Arriving in Hawaii, I made a pact with myself to remain open to the process, to welcome whatever revelations came my way, and to trust in the journey. Through extensive journaling and deep introspection, guided by the program's preparatory exercises, a vision began to crystallize. It was during these moments of clarity and introspection that the title of my book emerged: "When Lions Roar." The concept, the essence, and even the pivotal scenes of the book unveiled themselves to me in a powerful and undeniable surge of inspiration.
The writing process became a floodgate of revelations; it was a journey not just of creating a narrative, but of self-discovery and profound healing. "When Lions Roar" transformed from a mere concept into a heartfelt mission, a story that was not only mine but also belonged to the collective voice of women seeking healing and empowerment.
The time spent post-retreat was one of diligent commitment—filling in the narrative gaps, refining the message, and undertaking the monumental task of self-publishing. This book, born from a journey of personal healing and the desire to echo the souls of women everywhere, became the most significant accomplishment of my life.
Despite launching "When Lions Roar" during the unpredictable times of COVID-19, where what should have been a celebratory launch felt overshadowed by global uncertainty, the impact was undeniably profound. The feedback from women who found solace and strength in its pages confirmed my deepest hopes. Their responses were not just affirmations of the book's message, but beacons of light guiding my continued journey.
The accolades that followed—16 literary awards, including eight first-place honors—were affirmations of the book's resonance and impact. As I prepare to accept the first-place award for Women's Empowerment at the International Impact Awards, I am reminded that this journey is as much about the shared narratives of all women as it is about my own.
In this reflection, I extend an invitation to every woman who harbors a dream, to see themselves as creative beings capable of monumental achievements. "When Lions Roar" is not just my story; it is a testament to the power of faith, the strength of the human spirit, and the boundless potential within each of us. Embrace your journey, trust in your heart's wisdom, and never relinquish your dreams.
