Working on the intro to Split and rereading some of the chapters is bringing tears to my eyes. An idea that was a tiny seed two years ago is going to be a baby book in the world very soon. 💕

I posted my first two paragraphs on TikTok and Ive received a pretty good response so far. What are your thoughts? Is this a good start for my memoir? 🤔

I never go on Instagram... But this is good. Gives me chills. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMI0IPdNxuM/?igsh=MWN6bTEzY3Zoajk5ag==

Raise your hand if the thought of sharing your draft for peer review makes you a little nervous. I know that feeling well. I recently had that exact feeling when I submitted my chapter for a collaborative book. But the feedback I got was truly incredible. It wasn't just a few grammar fixes—it was thoughtful, honest, and made my chapter infinitely better. I actually feel like a better writer for it! It was a reminder that writing doesn't have to be a solitary journey. The collaborative book writing process has enriched my own writing so much. It’s been an opportunity to grow, learn from others, and now my words will make a bigger impact as part of a collective voice. If you’ve been on the fence about sharing your voice, I can’t recommend contributing to a collaborative book enough. Seeing your words on the page and getting published with a team is an amazing feeling. What has been your most valuable experience with peer review, or what’s one thing you hope to gain from sharing your work with others?
