Love this Bel. Oh sweet, sweet recognition! (Except for the book bit because I always love writing books and they're part of the adventure for me) but yes...phases...it's exciting because each new phase is full of possibility even when you know it'll end too. What's rising up in you now...I'm excited to find out....xx

I certainly understand the ebb and flow of things. Sometimes the ebb seems endless, and out of nowhere, a flow begins, sometimes a trickle, and other times a flow so full of words and ideas that my writing hand and brain can't keep up.

I can’t help hoping to read your book one day, but admire this beautiful acknowledgement of yourself xx

Self acknowledgement frees the ties of inhibition, never clinging, always looking. Enjoy what comes next! Thank you for all your sharing! X

As always beautiful and poignant . Not afraid to open your heart via words to express and admit to yourself when your desires / goals wane .. and to accept this. ❤️

Oh, I feel this so much. I love the way you write and put words to those bittersweet human emotions we all feel, too. Look forward to what comes next when the fog lifts and everything becomes a little clearer! xx

Oh Bel, what a revelation you’ve had and so beautifully rendered here for us. I am such a firm believer that everything has its time, there is time for everything. I can’t wait to see what comes out of this hiatus xx

Love this reflection under the strawberry moon Bel! I can completely relate, I've been reading like a wild woman recently. Consuming novels, articles, audio books: historic retellings, romcoms, memoirs. I can't wait until the 20,000 words is gone and I can read without it side-eyeing me in my mind x

Ahhh Jen! Don’t we all feel this? Can’t wait to celebrate the 20,000 word grand finale with you. Imagine all that time to indulge… and pitch… and indulge!! Xx

Haha I am liking the double indulge there ♥️

You're listening to yourself and that's the most important bit. If only we all had the will and strength to surrender to the phases and flow...

Thank you for your lovely words. I think with hindsight I can see the acceptance of this has taken much time and many drafts. However we look at it, I think we all find the right path in the end.
