As you already know, I’m alllll about intentional manifesting! But what you might not know is that I use intentional manifesting all day every day, with everything from front-row parking spaces to book ideas and more.โฃ

Here’s how I did it:โฃ
๐ : ๐ ๐ฎ๐๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐น๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐–It was the Fall of 2022, and I could feel a novel coming through me. I wasn’t sure which story I wanted to write (I have a whole list of ideas I’m sitting on), but I knew I wanted to write one. So I went through my list of ideas and just chose the one that stood out to me in that moment.โฃ
โฃ
๐: ๐๐ฑ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐๐๐ฑ๐ฒ–I thanked the Universe for sending me everything I needed to know to bring that story to life. This or something better!โฃ
โฃ
๐ก: ๐ก๐ผ๐ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐’๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ต๐–Storytelling and writing fiction (novels and screenplays) is my purpose in life, so I already know I’m worthy of it.โฃ
โฃ
๐: ๐๐ป๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ–Since I already felt worthy to write another novel, there wasn’t much inner work for me to do, other than just continuing to believe that I have what it takes and that the Universe would support me in making it happen.โฃ
โฃ
๐: ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐น ๐ถ๐–I started to imagine what it would be like to write another novel. I imagined how it would feel to bring that novel to life and publish it (something I hadn’t done since I published my debut novel in 2015–since then I’ve only published novellas)โฃ
โฃ
๐: ๐๐บ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ฑ๐ ๐ถ๐–I began to work on the story idea I chose from my list, like I would be if I was writing a novel. I acted as if I was writing a novel and made working on it a daily habit. I also started carrying a notebook around with me wherever I went, so I could make notes anytime an idea came to me.โฃ
โฃ
๐ฆ: ๐ฆ๐ต๐ผ๐ ๐๐ฝ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐น๐ถ๐ณ๐ฒ–I continued living my life while I allowed the story I was meant to write to show itself to me. I wasn’t 100% feeling the idea I originally chose, but I continued working on it a little every day anyhow.โฃ
โฃ
๐ง: ๐ง๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป–Since this step is made up of two parts, doing what you know to do plus allowing yourself to be inspired, I didn’t wait to take action. I chose a story idea to start working on, even though I wasn’t sure if it was the right one. I worked on that story idea for about a week, and then BOOM! One morning, as I was making notes, another idea that I’d had years ago but never did anything with came back around and smacked me in the face. Not only that, but when it did, it came with the complete story structure, plot, characters, and more.โฃ
โฃ
The BOOM story idea that smacked me in the face is now my brand new romantic suspense novel, ๐๐ ๐ช๐ฎ๐ ๐ฌ๐ผ๐!! โฃ
โฃ
I know this idea never would’ve come to me the way it did if I had just sat around waiting until I knew which story I wanted to write. Instead, I took action right away by choosing any old idea to start working on, fully trusting that if it wasn’t the right one, another idea would be presented to me instead.โฃ
โฃ
And here we are, two years later ๐
