When I first met my writer Rosalie at Finally Get Your Book Done, I didn’t know what to expect. I’m a married mom with children and thought it would be nice for my family to one day know my life story. Of course I’ve shared bits and pieces of my life through casual car rides and conversations… but as I’m aging I wanted my life more documented so that it would not be forgotten. I was interested in having my story actually and factually written out.

I had no idea I needed to tell my story… but now that I am I find it to be one of the most valuable things I’ve ever done.

I’d consider it a form of therapy in that it helps me to look back at my life and instead of keeping it inside my head… it feels great to say it out loud and get it written out. I’m shocked at how much it helps me process things that have happened to me without any judgement or any kind of pressure to work through something. I simply share whatever I want to talk about and then Rosalie listens very carefully and writes it all out.

I’ve tried keeping journals and diary entries to no avail and I always get stuck because it never lands on the page the way I’m thinking about it. But this is different… Rosalie captures what I want to say without me struggling to do any of the writing myself. In fact I’m finding it both invigorating and healing to tell someone my story. I’m getting much more value than I ever expected and would recommend Finally Get Your Book Done to anyone who has even the smallest thought about a story or an experience they want to tell.

Rosalie brings it to light all while I’m sitting with my dog on my lap in my own home.
