It’s a mixture of adrenaline rush drama and mystery. My heart is in contemporary romance. But this story hit me a little different. Don’t let the tagline fool you! Tagline: Beta Tested. Human Approved. Entirely Stolen. Title: SANITY Author: BY KAIDY WRIGHT Chapter One: The Architecture of a Void (1235) Whoa! Time to get up. The command came from a brain that didn’t recognize the body it was piloting. I rolled out of the heavy, silk-sheeted bed. My feet hitting hardwood that felt unnervingly... smooth. As I stood, a wave of vertigo washed over me. I scanned the room, my eyes darting from the high, crown-molded ceilings to the austere, ivory walls. "I’m awake, right?" I whispered. The sound of my own voice felt thin, like a radio signal losing its frequency. I pulled a plush robe over my shoulders—it was soft, expensive, and entirely... unfamiliar. Groggly... I moved and stumbled toward what I assumed was the en-suite. My mind was a sludgefest of half-formed thoughts. The kind of cognitive fog that usually clears after a splash of cold water. I reached for the handle and yanked it open. What? Only to find myself staring at a wall of empty hangers and built-in shelving. "Wait a minute," I muttered, the fog beginning to chill into a cold realization. "What?" I pinched the underside of my forearm. Hard. "Ouch! Okay... I’m awake." I let out a dry, nervous chuckle. "Foolish me. Get it together, girl. Just... a little morning disorientation. Talk it out." I turned to the second door and pulled. This one led to a long, vaulted hallway that seemed to stretch on with mathematical precision. I looked left, then right. The silence wasn't just... the absence of noise; it felt heavy, like the house was holding its breath. "Where am I?" I asked the empty air. "Why does this feel... Strange and wrong?" I took a few tentative steps onto the landing. My hand went to my forehead, checking for the heat of a fever, but my skin was cool. If anything, the cold was starting to seep into my marrow.

There’s a power to having clarity when it comes to writing a book. 📕 When a writer mapped her chapters this week, her anxiety dropped instantly. She realized where she was going with her story. It began to clear the fog within her head and she understood so much! That’s from her story turning towards clarity. At first, she kept second guessing what to put down BECAUSE she didn’t have a CLEAR direction, a structure to the madness of writing a book! 📖 Structure protects creativity. It’s when we allow ourselves to work on structure, that it makes it easier for us to be creative! Think of structure more as guidelines. They can bend if need be and you can change them if they don’t work with a new idea of creativity that pops in. 💥 BUT, having that at the beginning will lessen anxiety! That’s why I have the Story First method. This is what helps you have that spine of your book, understand where you’re going with your book even before you start writing. ✍️ Comment “Ready” and let’s talk about your next step! ⬆️

@Dani Rosenblad James I’m not sure if it was the inquiry question you did last week about if your book was film or movie; that got me stimulated to start a new project. I have a lot of stuff going on. Mainly my first manuscript is with an editor and we’re pulling out the kinks because it’s a lot of material. Also, I’ve been kind of MIA because of all the other projects that I’m working on with my poetry and some of my community activism. But I had this crazy dream two nights ago and I was telling my daughter about it, and I was trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together to help me understand why my dream was like so chaotic.Crazy and all over the place and it had missing pieces, like a pages missing from a book, or a day missing from your week or a moment missing from the next moment. or before the moments that led up to something. I have this ability to remember my dreams very clearly and very fresh and lots of details. so I decided that I take a moment. Write it to remember what happened. so I said let me just start to write this down. so it end about 24 hours ago. I had an outline of 17 chapters for the bones of the book. Over 8000 word count and now the whole picture is clear on all of the embellishments and angles are sliding in to view.I need to add meat and refine my characters to complete the project and I’m done with first draft revision to the outline. Now diving down to fatten up the chapters with the storyline vision and I’d like to share the first two chapters would love feedback it will be in my next post. Thank you Dani you always inspire me. 🥰

You can write alone. ✍️ But to get it finished, that part can be difficult. On average one book goes through the hands of 5 people BEFORE it even gets published. AND many writers that do it alone get to the editing and end up putting their draft in a drawer to collect dust. 🗒️ Others that get through the editing have difficulty with marketing. ❓❓What makes this easier❓❓ Having a team that is there every step of the way! Inside The Storyteller’s Path, you get more than guidance, You get: 💥 Structure 💥 Accountability 💥 A system that WORKS! 💥 A professional team behind you (editing, cover, formatting, etc) This is how books actually get finished and published. So, DM me and let’s see what your next steps are.
