I shared a post a few months ago about embodying your book<\/a>, after my inner Muse had told me to, “Be your book,” and “Write from your magic.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some more musings about embodying the book, a rough excerpt from the book I am writing for you!<\/p>\n

Your Book Breathes<\/h2>\n

See your book as alive, as a breathing being, radiant with life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ask it questions, preferences. Ask for support and advice from your book.<\/span><\/p>\n

 Trust it.<\/span><\/p>\n

 Love it.<\/span><\/p>\n

 Feed it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let your book answer this: If my book were alive, which it is, it would say ____________________________.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you are  writing a book, a blog post, a poem, an essay, a journal entry, a letter to the editor, a short story, a personal letter,  or even an inspired email you can embody your book.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your Book Speaks<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Look at me\u2014I am so beautiful\u2014a living, breathing part of you. I live in a library of possibility and I am changing, growing, becoming more and more me, as you write, ponder and edit. I am your Pinocchio\u2014only, I won’t lie. <\/span><\/p>\n

Breathe with me.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stay with me.<\/span><\/p>\n

Breathe your life into me.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, I come from your heart and you fashion me from some alchemical mixture of heavenly orb and Earthly qi. <\/span><\/p>\n

Let these energies connect in your heart. Breathe into me, your open book. <\/span><\/p>\n

Watch me grow wings and fly away and return, bringing you the nectar of some sweet flower whose neck is too deep and narrow for you to travel without my butterfly-like antennae. I gather nectar for you and return.<\/span><\/p>\n

 Breathe it in.<\/span><\/p>\n

 Smell.<\/span><\/p>\n

 Taste.<\/span><\/p>\n

 Open.<\/span><\/p>\n

I come from a magical place within you, deep as the flower\u2019s neck and vast as the night sky with a splash of stars twinkling in the dark.<\/span><\/p>\n

Write from your magic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, Write From Your Magic [bctt tweet=”Write From Your Magic” username=”LisaTener”]<\/h2>\n
