Inspirations Behind Writing A Book On Manifestation
Hi angel,
How are you? :)
A hiatus on content creation continues, but only to create space for continuing writing a book on manifestation! I am currently writing a refined draft of Chapter 1 (with first drafts complete up to Chapter 10, out of 12 planned.) I felt that to finish this book on the high note I wish to, I had to begin it, too, on the note that could make that met, later on.
My estimated time of release is late 2022, or early 2023 (with my focus being the quality of the book, over a speedy release!)
What I've been up to:
learning about the art of writing (watching some lectures on analysis of prose etc!)
understanding the work of lovely writers from the past (my two favourites at the moment are Jane Austen and George Eliot!)
writing the manuscript (with lots of editing involved)
reading many books to expose myself to a range of writing
My favourite odd thing to do: audio record a section of a chapter I have written and listen back to it whilst on a walk with Blue. I'll often then make notes on word changes I want to make, and structural edits! I kind of like to imagine what it might be like once the book is also on Audible! :)
Also: I love to do handwritten mini analyses of books that I enjoy — describing and breaking down why I might specifically enjoy the writing style! Once I do this, I entirely forget what I wrote and focus on writing for the enjoyment of writing.
I prefer to use plain paper because I think it’s prettier, but also because it helps me feel like there are no limits within the mind, and thus no limits on what can be explored in words on the page.
How would I describe the vibe of the book so far?
So far, I would describe it as conversational, friendly, a sense of deep exploration of manifestation in a cosy manner, a little poetic but also grounded? Tinges of nostalgia, and hopefully a book that one can read many times over in different parts of their journey, with many more lessons to be gained on every read.
What do I currently hope to aim towards in writing this book?
I created a prose style that I would love to reach... at least at this point of the journey. The words I have used to try to describe the writing style I’m aiming for are:
Calm and collected
Softening, gentle, inviting
Smooth and balanced
Vulnerable, heart opening
Secret-like, revealing things we rarely say, describe or confide
Casual preppiness
Relaxingly alert
Suggestive and conversational
Sophisticated yet casual
Artful, poetic, colourful
Succinct, concise
This is currently personally what I would love to read, and so is what I am currently aiming for :)
Why is Kimberley writing a book on manifestation?
The long story would be... that I felt as though digital content has been amazing to create; to be able to reach people all over the world by the click of a button has been incredible, but with that also comes a sort of transiency to whatever goes out. With the idea that online content is most likely going to be quickly updated with something more immediate, it got me into the habit of creating content without having to think of how a piece of content might age down the track.
I think that when each of us has a mission, some part of us wishes for our work to have a sort of 'lasting-ness' to it. We sort of want to make an impact that isn't too quickly forgotten, or at least that's what I began to experience.
I feel like books are a type of medium that ask the writer to think more carefully on how things will be taken or perceived later down the track, and so I found it an exciting and inspiring challenge to take on: to write something I would enjoy myself, but also that might leave a lasting impression and be remembered for a time longer than that of an Instagram caption read on a Wednesday afternoon.
I felt as though I really wanted to create something that hopefully has a sort of lasting impact - something that most likely would need a lot of time put towards it, and in a way that is accessible for most people.
I found that when I first began my manifestation journey, I didn't have much money but was hungry to know as much as possible on manifestation. As a result, books, for me, were the number one option; but I still couldn't find one that contained all the things I wished to experience in a reading journey.
I guess, this book is all the things that I wish existed, written in a form that hopefully, I'd personally enjoy the fun and depth of reading even thirty years from now.
I also just love writing, reading and the art that goes into books, from the children's and young adult books (Harry Potter, Lola Rose, Deltora Quest, Fairy Realm, Princess Diaries, Vampire Academy...) that I've read all the way to classics like Pride and Prejudice, Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer's Night Dream. I love holding a bound book and turning each page; not only is each page turned an indication of our knowledge expanding, to me it's also a gentle sign to the perseverance we may have to learn more and do the best with what we have.
I truly am so excited for this project to be out, and am putting all my love into it!
Writing this book was honestly the main mission that I set out to achieve this year. It has superseded any other want or desire for money or life upgrades (which are typically aimed towards when someone is in the mind of succeeding in business) and has truly brought a whole new level of fulfilment to my own everyday life. I honestly wouldn't change a thing in my current daily schedule, for putting this work together in itself has felt very rewarding -- and if just one person was to read this book in its entirety once it is released, you would very much be met - still - with an ecstatically happy girl (the same one writing these words).
Of course, I would not have the chance to put the time into writing this book if it weren't from all the support that I have already grateful received from each of you <3 If you have bought something from KW in the past, I am ever grateful :) Thank you so much for this opportunity.
If you'd love to support the quality of the book as well as be a part of the journey of its creation, every single membership to Manifestation Monthly does not go unseen, and my heart-felt thanks goes to every angel: it's because of you that I'm able to take the time to put all the quality I wish to be in this book <3
This month, we are studying the topic: The Power Of Positive Thinking! This is perfect if you feel like you've fallen into a bit of negative rut, and would love a bit of positivity in your life (without forcing it!)
Along with this month's exclusive podcast episode and masterclass + challenge and meditation, you'll gain access to over 50 other masterclasses and magical topics to study and embody to create your dream reality! Once again, perfect if you've been searching for more manifestation content whilst we're on hiatus, otherwise, for the book!
Wishing you a beautiful day :)
Big love,
Kimberley x
