So last night I was part of (I listened to) a webinar by Author Keith Ogorek and it was really very good. But one of the Questions before you write a book, you are supposed to ask yourself, is who is my audience? And the answer can't be, Everyone! So Obviously, I have done this a little backwards since I wrote the book or it wrote me, before thinking about this. So... Who is my audience? My audience is obviously any one interested it things related to witches, but beyond that who is my target audience. So I thought about this, why did I write this book. Other than the fact that I just felt compelled. When I wrote it I remember thinking that there are many, many books out there on the mechanics of Wicca and Witches, but not so many who shared their heart. What was it (the journey), emotionally for them. I thought maybe someday, someone would read it and perhaps understand that my journey was only one of many on a spiral path. And that sometimes you have to step away from the "publically acceptable" and follow your own path. That you have to follow your heart to find fulfillment in life. That it is okay to question the status quo, and while it works for some, others of us just need more. That spirituality and religion are sometimes seperate things and that we all need to find our spirit.
So, in answer to the question...Who is my audience? My audience is anyone seeking, seeking to understand that there is more than one way to journey. That if you want to walk a different path it is ok. My Audience is those who want to knowthat no matter what path you walk there are rules and guidelines. some are just more personal than others. My Audience is those who are seeking Spirit and that need to know that you have to find Spirit in what ever form works for you and embrace it!
Walk in light my friends!
