What would you like your readers to know about this book or you in general?
It is full
of resources and everyone who has read it has gleaned new nuggets of knowledge
from it. Many women have thanked me for
sharing unknown alternative health choices, easy ways to be creative, parenting
tips, and also for the personal development exercises. It’s a great book to
give as a gift too!
What time of
day do you write?
I wrote No
Ordinary Woman between the hours of 9pm to 2am for a year. At that time my child was a toddler and I
stayed at home with him so writing during the day was out of the question. But in the dark, late hours of the night, all
is quiet and nothing needed my attention accept my keyboard. Was I tired? Well, yes and no. It’s hard to describe what was driving me to
complete the book. It just had to be
done so it feed me and kept me motivated.
What advice
would you give to aspiring writers?
Know
yourself on a deeper level and understand all your layers. This information will help you avoid
confusion and frustration, so your work can be authentic. One of the best ways to do this is by knowing
your guiding archetypes. Are you a
Warrior? Detective? Goddess? You can find more info at www.KnowYourArchetypes.com
Once you know yours, you’ll be clear on your voice, genre, and writing
strengths. A couple of mine are
Liberator and Pioneer, thus, my book’s purpose is to share life-changing
information which can liberate someone from outdated thought patterns. Also my pioneering spirit, one that is a
risk-taker and adventurer, looked at writing a book as an adventure…something
that hasn’t been done yet.
What do you
like to do when you’re not writing?
As The
Artist and Mother Archetypes (see question #3) I love to create and raise my
child when I’m not writing. I’m an
abstract painter but I also create videos and workshops. If my hands aren’t art-ing, they are building
with Legos or crafting car tracks.
If you had
to choose, who would be your author mentor?
As a
non-fiction writer, I really enjoy the writing style of Jonathan Fields author
of Career Renegade: How to Make a Great Living Doing What You Love and
Uncertainty: Turning Fear and Doubt into Fuel for Brilliance. As a former yoga instructor, his writing
style is just as relaxed and thoughtful as the man himself. Even though he is approachable, he is also
very passionate about writing, marketing, and human relations. His broad knowledge is beneficial for
authors, solopreneurs, and anyone who wishes to live a more mindful life.
