📖 Someone out there will need the exact story only you can tell.

Your words might be the lantern that lights their way. 🕯️

Even when it’s hard, even when you doubt yourself

You are making a difference.

✨ In case anyone needs to hear this today…

Your writing matters.

Even if the draft is messy.

Even if you haven’t finished the book.

Even if no one’s read it yet.

At Divine Feminine Publishing, we believe the most powerful stories come from the wounds we transform into wisdom. 🔥📚

#WritersOfBlueSky #WritingThroughTrauma #PerfectionismRecovery #HealingThroughWriting #FictionWithFeeling #WriteYourTruth #DivineFemininePublishing

You don’t have to “write what you know.”

💥 Write what hurt you.

💥 Write what you feel.

💥 Write your truth—through fiction.

Instead of silencing your voice until it’s “good enough,” try this:

Write a character who struggles with it.

Let them flinch under pressure, revise every word, fear not being enough.

Let their journey mirror yours—or what you’ve never said out loud.

✨ Writers: Perfectionism isn’t just a writing block—it’s often a wound.

A defense mechanism we built as children to stay safe, earn love, or avoid rejection.

That perfectionism?

It’s not a flaw in your craft. It’s a scar from your story. 💔✍️

What’s a first line you’ll never forget? Drop it in the comments. Let’s build a library of unforgettable openings together.

#FirstLines #Bookstagram #HolocaustMemoir #ThroughBulletsAndThunderstorms #WritersOfBlueSky #Writingcommunity #HistoricalMemoir #SurvivalStories #PowerfulOpenings

Here’s the first line from Through Bullets and Thunderstorms: A Holocaust Survival Pact—a story of resilience, chosen family, and the raw truth of survival:

“I learned a long time ago that people show up at their best or their worst when facing the barrel of a loaded gun.”

Powerful First Lines: The Ones That Grab You and Don’t Let Go.

Some stories don’t ease you in—they throw you into the fire from the first sentence. A great first line can set the tone, demand your attention, and whisper “You’re not ready for what’s coming.”

📚 Through Bullets and Thunderstorms: A Holocaust Survival Pact

As we approach the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII, we invite you:
➡️ Form your own survival pacts.
➡️ Stand together.
➡️ Hold on.

You are not alone.
We will get through this.
Together.

Even when it felt like the world had ended, they found reasons to keep going — through bullets, through thunderstorms, through everything.

🌟 Their story is a reminder:
✨ Cruelty ends.
✨ There is still hope.
✨ We can survive — together.

It tells the true story of two young girls during the Holocaust who, on the brink of suicide, chose to make a survival pact: to stay alive, together.

💔 If you’re feeling crushed by the cruelty and pain in the world right now… you’re not alone.

Our upcoming book, Through Bullets and Thunderstorms, was written for moments like this — to remind us that hope can survive even in the darkest places.

Let’s lift up the stories that matter and the shops that fight to keep them on shelves. 📖🔥
