## Resource

Welcome back to B is for Book Coach . Today, we’re making space for weirdness . Raise your hand if you’ve heard yourself say any of the following things about your book: I don’t know if it’s the RIGHT way to do it, but…there it is… It’s a little bit of X and a little bit Y… It’s complicated. It’s complex. It’s weird. Can I tell you a secret? All the best books are. - Why we're good with weird - What it really takes to make the weird work - A framework you can use - A reminder you can keep Enjoying this space? It takes all of us to create it together! When you become a one-time or ongoing Momentum Partner , two things happen. First, you get to join a small but growing group of folks who pop in for Office Hours twice a month to sort out their content and travel this journey together. Second, you add to the Mutual Momentum fund , which helps to bring deeper development support to authors who need more than just space to get started. You can create a one-time boost of Momentum here by clicking the button below, or subscribe to keep the forward movement going for us all. Whether or not you’re ready to dive into writing just yet, remember that the best authors show up fully, just as they are. That’s all it takes—and you’re already doing it.
