From Stuck to Started: A Behind the Scenes Look at Writing My Book

For the longest time, I thought that before I could fully dive into writing my book, everything had to be just right. The house needed to be clean, my workspace perfectly arranged, the timing ideal—free of distractions, interruptions, or anything that could throw me off my creative flow.

But here’s what I realized: waiting for perfection was stopping me in my tracks.

Perfectionism wasn’t just about the book itself—it showed up in sneaky ways. I told myself I couldn’t start writing until I had the perfect opening sentence, the perfect outline, the perfect block of time. And you know what happened? Days turned into weeks, and my book remained unwritten.

The truth is...creativity thrives in imperfect conditions.

Some of my best ideas didn’t come when everything was in order—they emerged in the chaos, in the messy middle, in the moments when I let go and simply wrote.

So, I made a shift. Instead of waiting for perfection, I embraced taking one small step a day.  I wrote when I could, even if it was just a few sentences between other tasks. I reminded myself that a messy first draft is still better than a blank page. And most importantly, I stopped letting perfectionism have the final say.

If you’ve ever felt like you can’t move forward because things aren’t “just right,” I invite you to take one small step today.

Progress isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up, doing the work, and trusting that the magic will come.

Empowerment. Forgiveness. Personal Responsibility.

The Message:  
Some days I beat myself up.  Stories play in my head like old TV reruns.  I…  

• Compare myself to others.
• Focus on everything that is “wrong” with me.
• Focus on the past and how it might happen again.  
• Dwell on my mistakes.
• Continually second-guess my choices.

When I catch myself in this pattern, I step back, become impersonal, and ask myself…


What am I dwelling on, and why am I beating myself up?


I write down the situation so that I can free my mind from replaying the situation.  I step back and deconstruct the issues.  I examine my history objectively and see if I reacted differently this time.  I applaud myself for being observant and taking steps to grow.  I let myself off the hook, open the cage, and free myself.


What old story is keeping you in a cage?
Can you stop beating yourself up for not being perfect?
Are you ready to open the cage and let yourself out?
