The book that almost wasn’t
Hello friends,
Of all the posts I create, this one makes me the happiest. That’s because my newest book, Dreaming on the Page: Tap into Your Midnight Mind to Supercharge Your Writing, was just published! This book carries the message that we are all dreamers and storytellers–and claiming our creativity (and our dreams!) is as natural as it is meaningful and playful.
But this book almost didn’t get published! Read on to get the full story.

The Dreaming on the Page Origin Story
In an interesting twist, I started Dreaming on the Page online classes and workshops because I’d given up on the idea of writing a book. And then, of course, I wrote a book!
Here’s what happened:
I’m passionate about dreams and writing, and I wanted to introduce people to what I’d learned from my studies of the science, psychology, and spirituality of dreams and writing. But I’d been told by one agent after another that I didn’t have a large enough social media reach (mine was barely in the thousands — they wanted tens of thousands) for them to take a chance on me or my book.
