This Book Started with a Question
This time last summer, I was talking to a new business friend, the glorious Shama Besley, reviewing her Human Design, and she asked:
“What pieces of Human Design do you think most apply to writing?”
Immediately, I had a couple of ideas, but the question sparked a deeper contemplation about the Human Design system and how our unique energies—laid out in our charts—can be illuminated to help our writing process.
So, my mind, energy, and soul steeped on that question for almost six months. Pondering the different things I'd witnessed through reading dozens and dozens of Human Design charts. And then…
An inspiration struck.
I wrote the first half of Designed to Write in one sitting. And I got the outline mapped out, too, so I knew where to pick up the next time I opened that Google Doc.
Title—there. The centers that most apply—done. Variables at play—check!
(Not to mention I had the design of the layout clearly mapped out in my mind, so I wrote it and designed the inner formatting in one fell swoop. Not that I recommend doing the formatting before the editing stages, but still… The vision was just that clear.)
This book just landed in my hands, and I couldn't tear myself away until I felt the channel was done with me.
I never expected to download a book on using Human Design to create your ideal writing routine. It took me forever to figure out I wanted to pair editing with Human Design services in this soul-led business of mine!
The spark and information were simply there that day, so I sat and wrote it.
(Not unlike how Ra Uru Hu, who originally downloaded the Human Design system, channeled the whole science of differentiation over a week, now that I think of it!)
And I'm so excited that Designed to Write will be available next month!
September 13th to be exact. To start, it will be a book you can download right from my website (physical copies TBD!).
It's gone through several rounds of self-edits as well as two rounds with my own editor. Even she commented, “I'm learning so much!” 🥰
And I hope it will be a valuable resource for you to learn how to optimize your own creative energy and writing practice for how you uniquely operate.
Want to read the first few pages before anyone else?
Preorder your virtual copy here, and you'll get the first several pages immediately—from before the main editing stages started, so you can witness the transformation that editing can provide (and get some details that may or may not survive the final cut)!
