I saw on
a blog yesterday where the blogger wrote:
‘Ese Walter
Ark’s BECOMING…’
And then she
went on to start her post with the usual old story (that they’ve refused to
change) and write her idea on what she thinks Ese’s new book is about.
As you
have read in the welcome tab, this blog is about sharing true brand experiences
and brand stories.
Sorry. The personal brand story now is that: Ese Ark is an author, writer, lawyer,
media personality, mother of two children (BOOB Man and Boob Girl), wife, left
hand and right hand writer …
And no, the
book is not 'Ese Ark Becoming', it’s more
about Ese Ark becoming NAKED.
The Book
is titled: NAKED.
According
to Ese, it’s not another ‘tell it all’ book or ‘Hate’ book’.
NAKED is
not just a book, it’s the author’s personal map and story as she journeyed from
a place of emptiness, guilt, hate, sorrow to a place of personal fulfillment, forgiveness , joy and much more .
It has
been a long tumultuous three years for the author, but then she has chosen to
find peace and quiet in the midst of the storm. She has chosen not to let her past series of crisis,
that almost engulfed her, go to waste or waste her.
On Writing NAKED, the author
wrote:
“The idea for a book didn’t
come as a suggestion by well-meaning friends or strangers. It came from within
me.
I WANTED TO WRITE A BOOK. I
wanted a part of me to be left in the world, as part of my footprints.
But it
took me three years to do this. I know now that the reason it took me this long
was the fear of achieving that dream of putting my words out in the universe.
The actual process of writing
the book was sometimes painful, tiring and unending. The process of writing
about my life's experiences helped me better understand some of the things I
struggled to understand at the time they happened. Looking back to write about
them painted them in a clear, sometimes bias, light.
During the three years that I
wrote the book it changed tremendously. Initially it was a collection of
memories told from a victim's perspective. Then it became what I call an angry
book aimed at those who I thought had hurt me. Finally it became a story from
birth to death with the many experiences that were my lessons told from my
perspective.
It is my pleasure to share this
process with anyone interested in writing books or creating in general.”
So, don’t
get it twisted.
And if you still don’t get
it, stop twisting it.
The NAKED
book will be available on Okada books on the 29th of March.
