The Gemini: update

Happy Wednesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :):):):):)

Doubt thou the stars are fire; Doubt that the sun doth move; Doubt truth to be a liar; But never doubt I love. – Hamlet

I think it needs to be said that the past few months has been a whirlwind. Sometimes I feel like a fish out of water or a mermaid who found themselves having to navigate the world (from fins and tails to legs kind of thing). I'm unsteady on my feet and I'm terrified most of the time, but some of us are attracted to the thrill that comes with danger ;). But I think it's like that with any dream that we follow as a people. Someone once said, "if it doesn't scare you, it's not worth it" and no truer words have ever been said.

There is something to be said about persisting through, choosing to fight instead of fleeing, for something you truly believe is worth it. Being the knight in shining armor of your own story. Fighting the dragon, yourself to save the princess (the princess being your dreams and aspirations in life).

Through 'The Gemini' I have become my own hero, I have rewritten those tales' old as time. No longer am I a damsel in distress, I am the Dragon Slayer.

And since this isn't your average fairytale, the dragon doesn't stay down. Every day I fight the fears, the insecurities, the uncertainties. Sometimes I wonder when they will go away, I wonder how other authors do it, do they just not have the fear?

I'm sure they do, or did once or twice in their careers. They found the remedy, they know the secret. Perhaps the secret is different for everyone. It sure seems to be like that for every other thing. There is no one remedy that works for everyone all the time. So like with everything else, finding your feet is a journey. Don't be in a rush to be rid of some of the feeling, of the stress and the anxiousness. It all one day becomes part of your story.

These moments are what you're going to remember for the rest of your life. This is the part of the story you will be telling your nephew and nieces ten years from now (or kids and grandkids). They'll surround you as you exclaim about how anxious you felt, how overwhelmed you were.

That's what they will takeaway. When their time comes, they will remember that mommy, daddy or auntie also felt like this and they prevailed. Your success is not worth much without the memories of how you got there, not to you anyway. So take a moment, soak up that panic. Laugh while you feel as if you've bitten off more than you could chew. Dance when you cry because you are too overwhelmed.

Those memories will not die with you, they will live on even after you.

I don't know what I had planned for this week's blog. But I guess since the week's theme is love, it was important for me to write how I did above. And the Shakespearean quote (hope you enjoyed that too :)).

With all that has been said, I am more than happy to announce the release date for 'The Gemini' which is officially 20 April 2024. Pre-orders are accepted as of today. Order your copy ASAP. Be part of something great. Buy a book, read it, decorate you bookshelf with it, swat your unruly neighbor on the head with it or hold a bonfire(Kidding, The Gemini is a respectable book). The cover is really beautiful, it goes with every aesthetic and the writing is quite great too, if I may say so myself, you won't be bored but you might slip and fall between the pages. It's that great. Like a slippery slide. You could also order 'The Gemini' merchandise, limited stock only (catalogue will be available soon)

Feel free to review the book on Amazon.com and/or goodreads.com after purchasing and reading. Positive lies are always welcome, but truth will set you free :}. Please note that the book will only be available to buy on Amazon on the release date and before that you can still order from me on any of my social media accounts, email or here on Write Trix blog. Bulk orders are also appreciated and accepted.

Have a whimsical week and a happy Wednesday.

Lots of Love
