the journey of my book
About ten years ago I began writing a blog which turned into a memoir. I called it, ‘I Must be a Mermaid (deep fear of shallow living)’ - inspired by Anais Nin’s quote: ‘I must be a mermaid, Rango. I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living’
I had so many emotional reviews and DMs from women who related to my words and were moved by my story, but I always felt the book still had more to give.
Over the last four years (as well as running my art and tattoo business) I editing the whole text, re-writing parts which revealed themselves more and more to me, bit by bit.
Today, it is the book I always wanted it to be.
The text is a bit longer, the ending is a little different, the story is essentially the same. Everything just goes a bit 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐫.
