I have an announcement to make 📖✨
This is sudden, but...
I am going to publish my first book!
After suffering from a serious illness about two years ago, I started writing on note in earnest.
I've been bewildered, flustered, and had to make major decisions regarding the various things I've experienced since entering my 50s... Triggered by the many things that happen in my life, I've looked back on my life so far and thought countless times about how I want to live from here on out.
I have written about this and that, and trivial matters, on note each time.
However, I began to think that the experiences and events that felt so special to me might actually be paths that many others walk as well.
I've received messages from people my age around me, such as:
"I'm having similar experiences"
"I totally understand"
"You gave me courage"
And so... I began to feel that perhaps my experiences could also provide comfort or strength to someone else's heart.
With that thought in mind, I decided to put it into the form of a "book".
I thought that if I could deliver it to even one person who feels the same way, and have them think, "I wasn't the only one. I'll do my best too," that would be enough.
Through "writing" on note, I've been able to organize my feelings, see myself objectively, and keep important thoughts and realizations fresh so I don't forget them. Despite these being personal matters, I've felt happy when others empathized with them... I feel like note taught me the joy of "writing."
About six months after I started writing on note, I began working on the manuscript in earnest, and looking back, it took almost two years.
I refined the plan many times, rewrote it many times, and almost gave up many times...
Honestly, until just recently, I was anxious, wondering, "Will this really become a book?" and couldn't bring myself to tell those around me, so it ended up being this last minute.
My editor also urged me, "Please announce it soon!" so I am finally announcing it now 💦 lol
