    Dear Kristen:

    You mentioned traveling, writing about traveling in your book. I wonder if a career in the traveling/ tourism business (so much of it in London) may interest you. Writing about traveling can be a career.

    Your book, you stepped away from it because it triggered you. What is the status on that?

    At 33, it is not too late to pursue a career. Lost of people start at this age and even later. I hope to read more from you.

    Hi Anita,

    Thanks so much for your reply.

    My book is currently on hiatus for the foreseeable. That’s fine – for now. But I know I will want to return to it soon. I think I just need to go off what feels natural.

    regarding work; I guess I’m a bit concerned by my age and where I’m currently at in my life. I feel I should have done more. Salvation lies within and all that, so I guess I’ll try and listen to my intuition more.

    Thanks again for reaching out x

    Hi Kristen,

    Your passion for writing your book is praiseworthy. If you have spent nearly a decade on the book, it’s obvious you have a special message for us.

    As it usually happens with writers, we just know we want to write, but the idea is not clear. Moreover, whatever we have in our hearts, doesn’t easily flow in words.

    I should know. I had the same problem. I was writing a book (in my head) for almost 20 years. I just couldn’t bring it out into its physical form.

    Then I joined up some content writing classes (you can find lots of them online like udemy.com or just join a local trainer like I did). This improved my content so that it became readable. I could convey my ideas. My book started taking shape and it became a page turner. Finally, I did an online course that was about how to write a book, how to arrange them in chapters, how to find publishers or self-publish and make it a best seller. (these online courses are quite cheap. It costs a lot less than spending years in depression feeling lost and feeling as if you have wasted your life.)

    Just look at your writing style. I feel you just need a little bit of a push in the right direction. Your writing style is good. And just look at the headline. With a title like that, you are bound to attract a lot of people. Try using that as chapter headings or title for your book and see how many readers you get…

    Kristen, don’t give up on your dreams. I’m sure you will find a way.

    Looking forward to buying your published book very soon.

    -Jasmin
