Self-Reflect to Self-Correct looks like a great
self-help guide. Can you tell us a
little about why you wrote it?
· Absolutely! I wrote this book because I myself
have struggled with feeling as if I’m enough. I have friends that many would consider
to be highly accomplished and successful, however when we speak behind closed
doors, they each question themselves. I wrote this book to give perspective on
the feelings that many people are afraid to discuss. We all have doubt and we
all need encouragement. As I state in the book, you are not alone!
Any plans to turn it into a series?
·
I’d love to expand on this book. I believe that
my experiences and perspective can speak to many, but my plan is to gather
other’s experiences and the lesson’s they’ve learned and write about those. The
more perspectives that I can gain, the more people that may be able to relate
and gain something from reading.
How long did it take you to write Self-Reflect to
Self-Correct?
·
This was a year long project. There were many
early mornings and late nights as I tried to balance my life with completing my
first book. It’s been a great journey!
What inspired you when writing Self-Reflect to
Self-Correct?
·
My support system and my readers and followers
on my blog “Thoughts of a Normal Guy” were big inspirations. The messages and
comments that I have received when people read my thoughts acknowledged my
assumptions that what I had to say was needed. I had a message to communicate
and those individuals pushed me to do so.
What do you want readers to get out of your book?
·
More than anything I hope that readers will give
themselves “permission” to be themselves when reading my book. I want anyone
who reads from cover to cover to be inspired to be themselves, and not to
apologize about it. Once they’ve accepted the fact that their thoughts, doubts,
feelings, and actions are perfectly normal, I want readers to commit to using
that mindset to go out and achieve their goals. We are capable of accomplishing
whatever we set our minds to if we align our actions with our belief.
Did anything stick out as particularly challenging when
writing Self-Reflect to Self-Correct?
·
Writing this book required me to be vulnerable
and that was hard. I had to get comfortable opening up about feelings that many
people, especially men, don’t like to talk about. It was quite the challenge to
open up about some of these things and share those experiences from my past but
after seeing the finished product I think it was worth it.
