In my goals for 2016, I talked about finding focus. One of the things I wanted to accomplish is working on writing. Last year, I had the honor of one of my stories for Stigma Fighters being published in the Anthology. Writing has been something I have loved since I was a little girl so having the honor to tell part of my story was rewarding. I once saw a quote, “If you are afraid to write it, it needs to be written.” and it is so true. When you write such, you are opening yourself up in a way that leaves you vulnerable and yet, powerful.
This year, I have made it my goal to write my own book. While I’m still trying to find my direction and looking for where to go with it all, it is something I am remaining focused on for this year. Maybe my story can help others who are struggling, be something another person needs to read as they go through their own struggles. No matter what you think, you can create something that means something.
There have been several bloggers I’ve been proud to see their books in stores or published online. This has been something I’ve thought about for quite some time and now it’s time to make it happen. We can’t accomplish if we do not try.
Have you ever thought of writing a book? Have you done so?

I love that quote. All too often I stick with the safe stuff and don’t say anything important. This is excellent to keep in mind.
Good luck on your book adventure. I’ve thought about writing a book when I was teenager and into science fiction books 🙂
Congrats on having your story published! I hope you can find more success this year.
I have thought about it a lot. I have a folder full of poems I want to publish but never seem to get around to making it happen.
I have a book idea that I hope I can write someday. It’s a lot of work. But totally worth it.
I am so going to pin that quote. I have definite writing goals for 2016 and this is a positive reminder.
When I was little I dreamed of writing a children’s book and maybe one day I will but for now I just don’t have the time! LOL!!
I am a food blogger…so I have thought about writing a cookbook one day way down the road. Time will tell.
I have not thought about writing a book because I would not know where to begin. I hope you accomplish your goal of writing your own book.
Congrats!! That has to be an amazing accomplishment! Congrats on your book as well! I hope you go far with the book and the rest of your goals for 2016.
Good luck with your goal. I want to write my own book too, I’m just wondering where to start.
I have not written a book but I want to. Actually, I published a post this morning on what was stopping me. It all comes down to fear {which is a new one for me}. Thankfully, a session with a life coach has pointed me in the right direction. 🙂
I like writing and started self-publishing books in 2014. It has been a rewarding experience.
Good luck with all of your goals. I know writers are always busy thinking and planning and writing!
Congrats on your story being published in the anthology! That must have been exciting. I wrote a book a few years ago and it was scary, but one of THE BEST things I’ve done so far!
This is exciting. Writing is so fun and I am glad things are going well for you!
a book! That is awesome. You will meet that goal with the focus you have!
