Interestingly enough, I am still working on my book. I should have been finished months ago but I am realizing that it is really hard to write out difficult things about your life.
I wrote about my bankruptcy process backwards. What I mean is I wrote all the easy chapters first and I am down to the last two chapters which are, “What happened” and “The Journey” and I keep procrastinating. These chapters have been the most difficult to write because I have to go back to that time and place when I was going through the initial stages of my bankruptcy. I’m digging deep down inside my inner, core being and feeling those feelings that I felt back then….feelings that I thought I had buried and were over, and to drudge them up has really taken a toll on me emotionally. Because I’ve always been such a stickler on my credit and always had such high standards, filing bankruptcy really was a life altering and difficult thing for me to do. I truly kicked and screamed and fought filing for as long as I could. I just couldn’t fathom going down that road.
At any rate, I’m at the home stretch of finishing this book and it truly has been a struggle. These last two chapters have been a challenge to say the least and I am just hopeful I can get through them by the end of this weekend. I’m anxious to get this book proofed and published but it has to be the whole story, the entire story, the real story in order for it to TRULY help someone going through this as well.
Keep me in prayer. Writing about your life, really isn’t as easy as some may think……..especially when it is a difficult topic.
I will try to update my blog more often. I’ve just been very busy with a conference and it has taken up a lot of my time. I will now be able to refocus for awhile and will be more diligent in updating my blog.
Stay tuned………. Theresa
