High five for all your reasons.

Who am I? And why am I writing this book?

I have been a teacher of English for more than 20 years and started writing and going to creative writing classes from the age of 16. I wrote and gained confidence with time. However it was not easy. Being French, writing a novel in English was not only a challenge for the structure but also from a stylistic approach. In France we are much more poetic and symbols take a great place in a novel. In England, if it is not clear, we have to remove it. Simple enough…well not that simple…Anyway after a few years, I started to teach creative writing classes with success. That is why I am here.

But not only that,  I also have a passion for helping people. When I was 7 my parents could not handle me so they put me in the hands of a psychotherapist. I gained a lot of analytical skills and reinforced these skills with different trainings. One of them was EFT. A revolution in my life. Beliefs can keep you stuck or empower you. So if you change your beliefs your emotions change too and the flow of life will once again run through you. Things you want will happen. People you want to meet will speak with you. Situations you thought were dreamlike will materialise. Everything falls into place when you have altered the beliefs that were causing issues.

So I decided to combine the two of them and help you write YOUR novel.

Let us define Novel. A novel is a long piece of fiction writing that transports your readers into another world. A novel aims to entertain people and make them feel the emotions of the characters, to make them discover “under cover “ a new world.

The aim for the writer is to create a world that is so believable that readers don’t see the time of the day nor be  conscious of the reality they are in: reading a book in a chair or in bed or on the public transport…

I will be your guide, I will tell you what to do, I will be there for you but I won’t write your novel for you. I won’t make you wake up early to write. I won’t decide for you. YOUR novel is 100% your responsibility, you are the little god creating a world that will be liked by many.  YOUR thoughts are yours. YOUR ideas are yours. YOUR imagination is yours. YOUR universe you made is all yours. YOUR past is your past. YOUR experiences are yours. YOU ARE THE SOURCE OF YOUR HAPPINESS. I will help you achieve your goal. Give you the tips and knowledge you need to make it easy But I repeat I am empowering you, not writing for you or ruling your life. You do what feels right. If You want to make it happen we will make it happen. But I repeat commitment and dedication are needed even with my help.

If you follow this book, your style will improve, your story lines will improve, your characters will be believable and most importantly the writing will seem effortless, manageable and professional.

So are we ready?

Whoops! I almost forgot to tell you about Tapping.

Before that let me explain about EFT also called Tapping.

Everything that is causing you emotions-a reaction from something or someone or a situation- can be replaced by a positive feeling and a positive belief. A belief is an affirmation that became true for you. You substantiated the fact, for instance that all blind dogs bite, you heard it from your grandma and you had the experience of these bites. But that is now a belief that can stop you adopting a blind dog or just petting a blind dog. The same goes for everything in your life. You are not conscious of everything your brain has picked up to make you happy, to keep you safe, unhurt. Your body is a neuro-transmitter of energy and everything works as one. When you tap onto your body you actually facilitate the way your body and brain is working. It is a little bit like sport. It works the same way. You feel better doing sport because your body strengthens itself and it works better as a result. Sport is the movement you make your body do.

A gentle tapping won’t give you abs but will make the emotions you associate with doing the abs disappear so at the end of the day you will be able to do the exercise without the extra beliefs you have carried with you all along conscious or unconscious ie I hate exercises, I hate the pain the effort, the time it takes, doing abs serve no purpose, it won’t show on me, I am too fat for it to show….

READY?

I shall see you in chapter 1.
