I wrote a fiction book & it started coming true

Hi beautiful friends,

I have (another) crazy story to tell you today! What can I say, I’m on fire.

And being a storyteller is one of my favorite things…

So much so that I decided I would try my hand at writing a fiction book for once.

If you’re new here, hi! I’m Natalie, a multi-passionate artist & spiritual entrepreneur on a mission to bring all of me into all that I do. I’m also an author of 4 nonfiction books and counting (with another one coming later this year!). I also coach other spiritual authors to write books, too.

As many of you know from previous posts, I’ve also been on a mission to be more in the heart than the mind.

And as much as I love reading books, at the beginning of 2025 things began to change.

I couldn’t listen to podcasts AT ALL anymore, and I didn’t want any more advice - not from a book, a course, or any other form (unless maybe it was a coaching call and it was ultra specific to my life and my focus).

I just wanted to be present with myself, my own guidance, and nature.

I honestly just wanted to live my life without thinking so much or always being told what to do. I just wanted to learn through stories, symbology, magic, my guides, and pure life experience. Can anyone relate?

So, I was doing my light practice one morning when my angels suggested that I should consider writing a fiction book.

With fiction books, they showed me, we learn and grow through witnessing another’s experience and emotions - we learn through the heart more than the mind.

Through storytelling rather than being told to do more things we don’t even have the capacity to follow through on or fully consume anyway.

It sounded like a really exciting idea, even though I had barely read any fiction in a long time!

So I started to think about what I would want to write about…

I knew from experience that it was always difficult to find books in bookstores about creative entrepreneurs and psychic women, not to mention them being the same thing.

I have read a lot of fiction books about artists & strong women, but I never quite saw myself reflected in them.

I could empathize with the self-doubt that they faced (and we all face), and enjoyed reading about their process in creating their work, but it’s a little bit different when you’re someone like me who also channels spirit guides and gets divine downloads in my dreams (and waking life) about what to create or work on next.

Not something that gets mentioned much - but if you do have any book recommendations, DO let me know!

I want to see more books that mirror my unique lifestyle - about someone who creates what they love for a living & the challenges and magical happenings that occur as they follow their ever-deepening intuitive path.

Like the modern version of Rey from Star Wars if she ran a business and needed to pay taxes. Seriously, is that too much to ask?

Often, when we don’t see what we want in the world, we’re meant to be the ones to create it.

So, I started plotting out my fiction book. Actually, I plotted out FIVE of them, because I learned that series do the best! Plus, I love the idea of staying with a character over many years and seeing them develop, change, and grow.

And without giving the whole plot away or letting you in on what kinds of things my main character will create, I do have to tell you that something amazing began happening.

The more I started thinking about the book(s), plotting them out, and deciding on the locations and themes, the more what I was plotting began coming true… IN MY LIFE.

Like I said, I really don’t want to give the whole plot away because I still want to write these books (eventually), but it was pretty eerie how…

• For the first book in the series, I had planned for my character to go on a road trip to the desert, where she’d have a spiritual experience with a healer that inspires her to embark on a creative project.

  Not long later, I got the opportunity to go housesit in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the desert, where I also worked with a healer and had a huge healing breakthrough for myself that will most likely change the course of my life and my creative projects going forward (more on that later). A place I had never been before and never planned on going until it just serendipitously came up.

• In a later book in the series, I planned for my character to spend time in Switzerland. Even deciding this was totally random as I was looking for a place that was really expensive to immigrate to - but wasn’t Australia, because that would have been too close to my actual life experience. :D

  I also wanted a place that would work well for my character’s interest in studying dreams in that book… and Zurich is where Carl Jung pioneered a new view of dream studies. Other than that, I had no connection whatsoever (or so I thought)!

  Shortly after I made the decision to choose this location, one of my past clients reached out.

  She said, “I learned that you’re house-sitting. We’re traveling this summer, and we’re looking for a house sitter to stay with our cat. We live by the lake in Zurich in a really, really cool area.”

  I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. Sadly, I couldn't go because it didn’t work with my schedule (I was going to Australia instead!), but I sure was tempted to see what else would’ve happened if I had.

There have been a few other eerie instances, too, but I definitely don’t want to ruin the story for you because I do intend on actually writing these books at some point and I hope you will get to read them. ✨

So, I’m not going to say this is something that happens for all fiction authors (because how would I know! Up until now, I’ve mostly coached nonfiction authors!).

But it did make me realize how incredibly potent we are at manifesting when we continue to FOCUS DEEPLY on the same things over and over, whether we mean to or not.

I was opening up my notes for the books almost every day, thinking about them, brainstorming, and tweaking things! 📝

But I wasn’t wishing I could go to the places in the book. It was an experience I simply wanted my character to have, to support the emotional & creative journey she was going to go on in the book! I didn’t intentionally try to manifest anything.

Still, my attention was ultra focused on it.

I was imagining it in my mind’s eye. Picturing myself there as the character. Thinking a lot about what would happen in these places. What would go wrong, what would go right, and how things would shift as a result of that.

My attention was so focused upon these visions that I began manifesting it!

I suppose you could argue that maybe the universe knew I was going to get these invitations, and that’s why the idea dropped in for me in the first place, but I really don’t think that is what happened???

Now, I’m also the kind of person who has a million projects going on at the same time, so I haven’t gotten too far with the first book (yet)…

But it is certainly making me think differently about what I am going to write next.

If words are like spells, then maybe I should be writing the ones that quantum leap me into my best reality.

If not in this book - because we’re obviously still going to need some drama & high stakes to occur to keep things interesting - then…

In my journal when I’m writing about my life & the story I am telling about it.

In the text messages I write to friends & loved ones.

In what I say when people straight up ASK me to talk about my problems (such a test!).

When I tell myself the story of my own life and envision what comes next for me.

Whatever you are envisioning all the time, you are creating!

So, if you’re obsessing about money problems, relationship issues, being confused about your career, stop that.

If people ask you how you’re doing, and you often use that as an opportunity to vent and complain, that’s enough.

I’m not saying to lie to yourself or others, but perhaps you can be more careful about how you frame it so you are speaking what you want into existence.

For instance, instead of, “My business is a complete disaster right now!” it could be “I’m gaining more and more clarity every day.” Talk about what you do want to happen, not what is happening (if it’s not what you want) or what is wrong.

Or maybe you could sit down and write a long, detailed story about the life you want and spend time imagining it every day…

There are so many places you could go with this!

It might feel weird at first, but see what happens when you start thinking, writing, and talking about the story you DO want to see manifest in your life… and doing so obsessively.

All the best,
