Love this! I think I would (will, hopefully) need to do the same. I love what you said about writing Create Anyway being an act of obedience and faith. I can get so muddled up in all the mess of the other stuff, but that’s what my book is for me too.
Confirmed my plan to not read my own reviews when my book publishes in October! My enneagram goes to 3 in stress and I KNOW that stress arrow will be very strong! Thankfully like you said, God has done a lot of work in me to excise my performance-based worth and replace it with his grace. And still, no reviews for me.
Remember when I reviewed the book via email, and then apologized for reading it?! 😆 Still can’t recommend it enough and plan to read it a THIRD time this year! ❤️
So cool to see what the Lord was doing in your heard during that year of waiting. I, too, majorly struggle with fear of man and seeking approval from others!
If you avoided the Goodreads reviews forever, I wouldn't blame you. That place is worse than Mordor.
I'm *finally* getting the book this mother's day as a present from my kiddos, bought by my husband at my own instruction 😂 can't wait to read it!

True story: I just read Amazon reviews of Start with Hello for the first (and only) time last, 17 months after release. 😂 I stand by it!

I did audio through my library and now I want it (it’s on my list to buy) I’m excited to work on all the creative prompts and ideas you had. ♥️
Being on your book launch team was one of my favorite experiences of 2023. ❤️ Create Anyway is such a gift, as is your authenticity!
