My debut novel, AFTER THE DANCE, will hit the market in April of this year. In my case, the answer is yes, the book chose me. As too, did the current book I'm writing. Personally, I do think it (the writing journey) is a divine process and we only think (or would like to believe) that we're in control. Bottom-line in my book (pun intended), we're always doing what we are supposed to be doing. Once we give ourselves over to the idea, we are relieved of a lot of the stress constantly trying to be in control brings. I too am an author.

I never thought you may have some issues but then we all do. Writing has always been scary for me to even think about seriously as a profession or even blog. Why? I dunno. Scared of what people think or if I do not write how I feel at that time. But, then I kinda just said screw it when I started blogging and said this is just me - take it or leave it. No one is perfect. As an English major who even tutored people in writing, I have many fears of my own written word but then I realized that I am not the best editor when it comes to my own writing. Once I got over that fear, writing is not as scary as I thought it would be but I always have reservations. Oh well.. Great entry! Writing seems so easy for you?! I never thought you may have some issues but then we all do.

That which touched and impacted us the most in life inspires the most poignant writings. Thanks for sharing Solomon's essay. I think our best writings are those born from the heart.
