Dear subscribers,
I have something incredibly exciting to share with you today! For the first time ever, I’m stepping into the world of fiction, and I’m publishing my very first novel right here on Substack. This is huge for me, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to invite you to be a part of this.
The novel is called Rewriting the Dream, and it’s a deeply personal story about a woman named Amariyah Clark, an entrepreneur at the peak of her career, who begins to question the very life she’s built. It’s a tale of transformation, self-discovery, and the power of rewriting the dreams we’ve spent our lives creating.
But here’s the thing—Rewriting the Dream will only be available to my paid subscribers. That’s right! As a paid subscriber, you’ll get exclusive access to each chapter as it’s released, plus all the behind-the-scenes insights into my writing process.
This story is a labor of love, and I believe it will resonate with so many of you who’ve experienced that tension between ambition and personal fulfillment. If you’re looking for a compelling story to dive into, this is it.
Here’s a sneak peek at the Introduction to Rewriting the Dream:
Introduction
Success. It’s a word we’re taught to chase from the moment we understand its meaning. Build the career. Earn the title. Achieve the dream. But what happens when the life you’ve built no longer feels like your own? What do you do when your accomplishments begin to ring hollow, leaving you wondering, Is this all there is?
This is the question at the heart of Rewriting the Dream. At the pinnacle of her career, Amariyah Clark is the picture of success—a visionary entrepreneur whose groundbreaking work has positioned her as a leader in her industry. Yet beneath her polished exterior lies a woman struggling with profound disconnection. The relentless pursuit of professional triumph has taken its toll, leaving Amariyah estranged from her creative passions and unsure of the person she’s become.
When a chance reunion with Emma Carter, a friend from Amariyah’s past, sparks a flood of memories and emotions, Amariyah begins to question everything. Emma’s unconventional, free-spirited life forces Amariyah to confront her sacrifices and ask herself what she truly wants—not just from her career, but from her life. Alongside Emma’s guidance and the kindred spirit in Darius Thompson. Amariyah begins a journey of rediscovery, exploring the delicate balance between ambition and authenticity.
Rewriting the Dream is a deeply emotional and modern story about transformation, second chances, and finding the courage to let go of the version of success that no longer serves you. It’s a tale of self-reflection, healing, and the realization that true fulfillment comes not from chasing a dream, but from rewriting it to align with who you’ve become.
