When you can't find an image online, you make your own!
Doing the right thing backfires in a good way sometimes.
i wrote Rage Rising: My Walk Through the Dark Tunnel of Anger just like you would.
You are writing along, (yes I said you!) and certain memories are triggered. Or on a break when you are out-and-about, you see a billboard that reminds you of your writing topic.
“I just wrote about that this morning!”
Happen to you?
Me too.
In Rage Rising, there are several of those events: a book I read years ago, counseling I went through, podcasts I listened to, a new book out.
I referenced those in my book and linked to the websites.
In each case, although I clearly had given the people credit, I emailed each one explaining what I was doing. I asked for permission to use their work.
Each one emailed me back with very encouraging comments. And permission.
Orna Ross gave her go-ahead but added a sweet invitation.
Now I didn't have that planned when I wrote the book.
“Let's see who I can USE to gain notoriety!”
No.
She wrote back: “Yes, of course … Love to spread the power of these simple techniques. Thanks for the credit. Also: If you'd like to write a short post about it I'll feature it on my blog with your book launch news.”
Go here to read it and explore her website!
Blessed!
Grateful.
