My book (about spinning wool from Swedish sheep breeds) will be published in six months. It started at least eight years ago, but I always prioritized blogging, making videos, creating online courses – things that would get me readers and students. So the book was always the dream that got pushed aside for reality. Then a book proposal masterclass came along and I decided to dive in head first. I stuck to it and got an agent and a book deal and YES it is exhausting! But I couldn’t not do it. Meanwhile, one and two book ideas are hovering in my writing heart, and yes, there are always parallel projects. Sometimes they overwhelm and sometimes they complement each other beautifully. But the ideas will keep coming, poking me in the head until I pay them proper attention.
Thank you so much for sharing this journey Josefin! My cousin is spinning wool from Swedish sheep too and sell her wool from her farm, what a coincidence 😍
I hear you on the timeline and order of things - so excited for you for this dream coming into fruition, well done! And the other book ideas will be born when the time is right ✨
THIS IS BIG! I’m so excited for you Elin and hope you celebrated a little or lot!
Don’t forget that after carrying out a book baby, the forth trimester is also key, aka making sure the exhaustion isn’t taking over ❤️thank you for always staying honest about what it’s really like to walk the walk!
Congratulations Elin , I agree we rarely consider how much time and commitment large projects take - and at the end we are exhausted. But well done on publishing a book!
What an amazing accomplishment! The book looks beautiful and your creative journey and insights are always inspirational. Congratulations and please share information when hard copies are available.
Well done! It looks beautiful!

I’ll remember that fourth trimester analogy… would’ve needed the reminder after my human babies too 😅 thank you so much for cheering me on 🥰
❤️ forth trimester is a real thing. There are even books and theories on the importance 😂
Congratulations Elin , I agree we rarely consider how much time and commitment large projects take - and at the end we are exhausted. But well done on publishing a book!
