THE EMOTIONS OF FINISHING A BOOK AND MAKING ANOTHER DREAM COME TRUE By Stacy Duplease of Remembering Your Present, LLC
Wow. It’s 10:43 a.m. and I am in tears. But, it’s not probably what you think. Nevertheless, if you read the title of this blog post, you might have an idea. My tears are of the happy variety.
I just finished writing what I call in short, RYP3. It’s the book:
THE TRANSFORMATIONAL TOOL OF CHRISTIAN JOURNALING
VOLUME 1 OF THE REMEMBERING YOUR PRESENT JOURNAL KEEPING SERIES
It’s another dream come true. So, I’m emotional. I feel so unworthy. I also can’t believe that such creativity comes from my mind, down my arms, down my wrists, and into my fingers to the computer screen. It’s still mind-boggling to me.
I put my heart and soul into that book—just like I do with everything this else I write. I sleep on it, I think of it at every opportunity, I take my journal everywhere so I can work on it when inspiration hits or when I have a few minutes of free time.
Writing a book for me is not something I take lightly. No. Not at all. As a matter of fact, I took 7 years to start to hone my craft of writing before I was published. I wrote over 75 novels until I was ready to publish. Yes. 75. I am quite blessed you see to have ideas forever forming in my mind. However, that doesn’t mean the quality of writing is there. I had to write that many books in order to learn the craft and it will be something I study every day for the rest of my life.
That’s why I attend a writer’s conference whenever possible. They help me to hone my craft.
So, you see, publishing and writing is a big dream for me. It’s not something I take for granted or lightly. I know the work I’ve put into the craft and the process.
Why am I sharing this with you?
It’s not to brag—or to show off. No! That’s not the case at all. Rather, it’s to share with you why I feel so emotional every time I finish writing a book. It’s a BIG DEAL. Truly.
More tears flow as I count my blessings and give the glory to the Lord. I couldn’t do this without Him.
I also count my blessings about my biggest fan. My best friend. My hubby. He’s done everything he can to set us up financially so that I can write full-time—even if I never make a dime. He also isn’t a big reader (except professionally) so the fact that he takes the time to read my stuff is huge. Also, if he finds them interesting enough to read says a lot! He’s picky—God bless him. I appreciate it. He also doesn’t hold back on me and tells me when I need to make changes.
Writing is an art and a craft. It’s what turns my crank. It’s what I love to do.
Writing is a very lonely business. It’s also a lot of late nights, sleepless nights, and is full of rejection.
Writing means putting everything you’ve got out there—and risking everything because of it.
So, I sit here in this sacred present moment—counting my blessings—giving glory to the God on High…Staring at two mountain ranges…Listening to my beagle snore and my cat stretching on top of the kitchen cabinets in back of me…Feeling amazed that another dream has come true.
Thank you for reading this blog post and this blog in general. You have no idea how much your support means to me.
Blessings,

THE LATEST: WHAT’S NEW IN MY LIFE BY STACY DUPLEASE OF REMEMBERING YOUR PRESENT LLC
Wow, life has kept me busy. Being a wife, supporting my husband’s profession, being a Christian, being a writer, being an author (more specifically), releasing 3 books, writing 2 books, editing 2 books, running a business, blogging, journaling, eating right, exercising, having time to play, having time to rest, and just plain living means Stacy Duplease has been a busy lady!
Whew! That made me tired just typing it!
Never mind making some major (and I mean MAJOR) live decisions…
So, I hope you understand why I’ve been a stranger.
I hope to make up for that now.
