@Tracy Stewart Fabulous idea! Thanks Tracy.

Great question to begin the new year with! From a writing aspect, joining Substack in 2025, and publishing posts has been, and continues to be a win. Substack is proving to be a great place for developing my writing, and meeting other creatives. Prior to joining Substack, joining the W.R.I.T.E society in February 2025 has also been a win - enabling me to connect to fellow writers. l am gaining a wealth of knowledge from both platforms.

Great question, @Tracy Stewart ! When l first started out on my non-fiction writing journey, l constantly asked myself, 'Who am l to write a book, you're a graphic designer, not a writer' . Yet walking along this path, and with Tracy's support l have gained, and continue to build confidence as a writer. Life experience plays a fundamental role in my expertise. Seeing The Invisible Line - Creatively Connecting To Your Life's Flow, stems from a place of (creative) healing. l truly believe, only through experiencing such a transformation, could my personal growth book, (a blend of personal stories and creative healing tools), take shape, take flight in the way it has so far... Having the courage to step out of my comfort zone, and lead people in workshops and courses is incredibly rewarding and humbling. l am always touched by the ways participants interact with the Seeing The Invisible Line content, and how it is having a transformative impact on people's view of their own unique life path. People ask me all the time about the Seeing The Invisible Line's backstory...writing this piece (alongside Tracy's encouraging words after she had read it), wondrously led me to believe in my writing potential...'perhaps l can write after all'. Truth be told, moments of self-doubt do continue to creep up on me, yet when l look back on how far l've come, the pang normally subsides. Hopefully over time, building upon the workshops/courses, along with writing on Substack, IG, blogs, and talking on podcasts will lead to a publishing contract...or possibly the self-publishing route...let's see what happens - l choose to stay open to creative possibilities. On a closing 'who am l to write this book' note...it has been said 'there is nothing new under the sun, yet your life experience, your perspective, your story is unique'.

@Sandi Marsh thank you Sandi! l appreciate your kind words of encouragement. and support. It was a fun and enjoyable experience, one which gave me much insight into the podcast world - l could get used to this kind of energising and creative exchange.

@Sandi Marsh great question, Sandi! l was invited to be a guest speaker on The Wilderness of Creativity podcast, via a Substack connection, and it was my first podcast experience. Currently don't have another podcast project on the horizon, yet l am always open to guest speaker opportunities. So please feel welcome to share possibilities.
