I didn’t expect indie publishing to feel so lonely. I thought finishing a book would be the hardest part — not launching it into silence, and then just watching others succeed while I stare at the void, or even wondering if anyone even noticed my work.

So many writers give up — not because we ran out of stories, but because we ran out of support.
So let’s change that. Read the full piece — it’s a love letter to every indie author whispering, “Is it just me?”…

Tarot isn’t about seeing the future — it’s about finally seeing yourself. It’s that quiet moment between chaos and clarity, where you pause, pull a card, and realize your feelings have a shape. That shape might be a sword, a star, or a woman standing in the rain. But suddenly, you’re not lost in your head anymore. You’re here. Feeling. Reflecting. Breathing.

That’s not magic. That’s presence.
And sometimes, that’s everything.

Feeling drained by writing, marketing, and trying to “do it all” as an indie author?

You might not need a productivity hack. You might need real self-care ideas by someone who has been there.
