Patterns 🍃

Kia ora, 

It’s good to tune into your world today.

How’s that story of yours coming along? 

I’m editing a life story/family history for someone who is writing it for future generations, including for those who she might never meet. This makes me very happy. They will get to know her well through her stories and her photos. It will be as if she’s right there with them as they read her words. What a gift. I encourage you to keep writing so that your family, including those who never get to meet you, might one day enjoy the same experience.

This person has shown me a very cool thing for her future book cover: leaf patterns. I really like this idea. There are patterns everywhere, in art, in nature, in curtains, carpet, on wood. If you’re contemplating your book cover, add that to your list of options!

I’ve run out of 100 word snippets of your stories to share! I know people feel inspired by these. If you haven’t yet, would you like to share yours? If you would, just reply to this email with your 100 word story, and tell me your name, what exactly you’re writing and where you’re based. 

Write on,
