Part 2 of 3.
Book 3 is shaping up to be the most visceral and raw work I have ever produced.
Part of it is a reflection of my general disposition towards the way things are in my life.
It's dark and gritty without trying to be any of those things.
I've never felt this invested in my honesty as a creative. This book isn't about the rainbow at the end...
It's about the reality that pain and darkness and storms are part and parcel of this human experience.
It can't be avoided.
It has to be faced head on.
This work is pushing me in the best possible way.
It is allowing me to ask questions and be comfortable in the reality that the answers may not be ready, yet.
There may not even be any answers.
What do I do with that?
How can I find comfort and peace amidst that reality?
I am so excited to continue working on this piece and at this point, we are entering hyperdrive mode.
The goal is to have this work published by September.
A lofty goal and a tight deadline but why stop now.
Thank you all for your support and I am excited to tap into this darkness...
Tap into this storm.
Tap into the heartache and create my Magnum Opus.
Every time I create, I aim to make that piece my greatest work ever made and I am excited to keep that goal in place with this 3rd book.
I can't wait for you all to share in this work and find your place amidst the chaos with the simple reminder that you are not alone.
Yours faithfully,
Sam Qavah John
