My Self Publishing Journey Starts Here πŸ“–


πŸ“–πŸŽΆ PURCHASE MUSICAL AWAKENING HERE! πŸ“–πŸŽΆ

I just finished, Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert, and it completely inspired me to go back to one of my old manuscripts.

100 Cups of Coffee is done and I’m feeling pulled back into a project I started in late 2014: Musical Awakening

I stopped working on it in 2015 when 100 Cups of Coffee took over and honestly, that made it really easy to walk away.

But this past week I opened it again and…
I don’t hate it. LOL.

And like Elizabeth Gilbert says:

"Done is better than good."

So that’s the plan, finish it. My goal is two weeks. To re-read, re-edit and add to it.

Because let’s be real:
a lot of people start things…
very few actually finish them.

So I’m finishing this one and self publishing it. Click here to read a sneak peak!

What Musical Awakening is About? πŸŽΆ

June is a concert photographer building her career, her identity, and a global music community on her blog.

Her musical awakening begins the moment she hears an up-and-coming British artist—Richmond Adams—for the first time.

What follows is a will-they-won’t-they story told through:

  • blog posts

  • social media

  • and music

It’s about timing, creativity, and taking chances. For readers who miss tumblr-era music blogs and late-night playlists!

πŸŒ™ PREFACE

Hey Music Nerds!

I didn’t mean to turn my life into a record.

It just happened.

It started in fragments, blog posts I wrote too late at night, concert photographs I poured my life into, text messages I almost sent and then didn’t.

And then he entered. 

Which is where things begin to get complicated.

So instead of living in the unknown, I wrote it all down instead.

Not because I knew how it would end. 

But because I didn’t want to forget how it started. 

I told myself it was just music.

Until it wasn’t.

πŸ’¬ If You Made It This Far…

Thank you. Seriously.

I know this was a lot but I’m really excited about this project again and wanted to share it with you.

Let me know what you think in the comments πŸ’›

And most importantly:

Don’t let a spark of inspiration slip away.

Keep creating.

x Meg
