The Flashlight Only Lights Three Steps 🏮
The forest is dark by four o'clock now. 🌲😬
It's November in Sweden, and the path behind my village is all wet leaves and roots that like to grab your boots.
I'm holding a small flashlight.
It lights about three steps ahead. That's it.
For the first few minutes, I hate it. 😅
I want to see the whole trail.
Where it bends.
Where the mud is.
How far I still have to go.
But my feet keep moving.
Three steps. Then three more and the light moves with me.
Somewhere along the way, I realize I've stopped worrying about the end of the path. 🍂
I'm just… walking.
Listening to the trees creak.
Breathing in that cold, piney air.
I get home with muddy boots, pink cheeks, and a thought I can't shake.
That's exactly how writing a book works. ✍️
So many writers tell me they can't start until they can see the whole book.
Every chapter.
The ending.
How it all fits together.
But you don't need the whole trail lit up.
You only need enough light for the next few steps.
The rest shows up as you walk. ✨
What would your next three steps be?
Tell me in the comments.
I'd love to walk them with you, even from here. ❤️
