Aspiring writers need to write. The best way to get good at this craft is to practice. Have people read your work, listen to what they have to say, and write it again.
Also, ask yourself why you want to write. If you enjoy writing, then write! Not everyone has to publish to be a success. If you enjoy writing, then write!
My grandparents each wrote stories of their lives for the benefit of themselves and their families. They never sought to publish their work because that wasn't their interest. Sometimes we get locked into thinking that writing means publishing and that's not always the case.
Just like fishing isn't catching, it is perfectly acceptable for you to write for you own reasons and not anybody else's.

My second book is called FLOURISH, and I cannot wait to birth this book out into the world because I know it will change lives.
While the premise of FLAUNT! is "know thyself," which is the ideal place to start, the premise of FLOURISH is to "choose thyself," which is the logical progression and the most immediate next step in the self discovery journey.

As a former attorney, I am partial to researching. As an author, I get to dive deep and research many different topics. I am always learning, growing, changing and discovering. Then, I get to share everything that I have learned with you, the reader!
What could be better than that?
Another magical bonus is getting to meet so many people that I would otherwise not be able to meet. I'm an extrovert, and I love meeting people all over the world.

I would love to visit Harry Potter's world, teach burlesque at Hogwarts and perform at the Leaky Cauldron.
To me, that kind of magic feels so normal and real and I would love to live in a world where magic is just a part of life
