What is it like to be a new writer?

If someone had told me how challenging writing a book was, I think I might run! No that's not true. My journey started many years ago and I knew that I needed to write my book not only for my own cathartic reasons but also because I knew in my heart that I could help others that were in their journey healing from trauma. Putting myself out there and being vulnerable and raw was scary, but I knew that it had to be done, so I pushed forward. No matter how hard it gets as a new author, keeping pushing forward!
