  • Writing My First Book After 12 Years on UA-cam ✍🏾 It was only a matter of time before living on the countryside would transform me into a writer. Writing my first book has been such a process of self discovery, isolation, creativity and all the feels. Here's some of the BTS of designing and putting the finishing touches on my book!

    ⟡ About Shameless Maya Channel ⟡
    "What would happen if I shamelessly promoted myself for 365 days?" My channel started out as a social media experiment, and now it's a lifestyle. I hope my journey from shame to shameless inspires you and others not to be ashamed of who you are and to share and celebrate that shamelessly. Here on my channel, you'll find videos on lifestyle, inspiration, and so much more.

    When it comes to our work, we must surrender the timeline to God. It's hard a lot of the time when things don't end up happening on your timeline. It's hard to not put those parameters on ourselves and our work. There isn't anything wrong with it, but I've noticed a habit Paul used in his letters when talking about plans he wanted to make. He would say if it's God's will for me to visit you, to send this person, to do this, to be here, etc. I'm just a person on the internet who has watched you since your NYC days, so you wouldn't know me from Jane, but... I'm proud of you. I'm grateful that there is literature that is going to come out to help women see the beauty and goodness of motherhood. It's something I've noticed and have tried to create content on for years. As mothers we do die to our old selves, but the new self. She is so beautiful and more resilient than ever before.

    Writing is a lot of work and isolation. I think bc people can read books pretty fast they think writing takes a short time too, but it can take months to years to write. I admire all good writers bc I know it takes a long time. I took. 3 years just to write my dissertation. I can only imagine a book!!

      I was so naive! But I think my naivety has taken me far 😅
      Much respect to you and anyone else writing! The levels!

    Omg great to see you’re still uploading and still have that same positive energy that made me enjoy your content. I used to watch your videos years ago when I was in university and you popped into my head today so I went in search of your UA-cam. Also wonderful to see that you are still so creative. I’m not a mother but I wish you all the best with your book

    Congratulations on your book!! I’m sure it will help a lot of new moms. I also hope one day you might write again about your shameless journey as a whole since you’ve evolved so much over the years just on UA-cam alone and have been a big inspiration of being courageous in life and relentlessly following your dreams

    I'm writing a book too. Mine was also due in May, but I didn't meet that deadline 😅 greatness takes time, though. Just keep doing at least 1% each day. Small efforts build to major progress 🌱

    I just watched the latest video on the Max and Maya channel. I was overjoyed when I saw that you also dropped a new video. Pre-ordered your labor of love and I can’t wait to read it. I’m not a mother and I’m not certain if that is God’s will for my life. Until I know for sure I will continue to educate myself on motherhood and your book will definitely be a resource guide for me. Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉

    Writing a book is no small feat. And designing it??? Congratulations! It does take a while, though. Three months was...a nice thought. 😅 I always say that it takes as long as it takes. Side note: It doesn't have to take 7 years (well, 7 summers really), like my novel is taking me. 😄

    Yes writing can be lonely. It's autonomous work , especially when you're writing fiction of 70-100k words. I just finished the 2nd revision of my book and about to query agents, but it has definitely been a journey. LOL. Good luck.

    birthday is 5/20?? Sooo does that make you a taurus??? That explains the need to control. I was raised by a taurus (I am a leo). And control is a big trait of people with that sign. But it's good that you're learning to "go with the flow". There's a book about this (or several) to put into your arsenal. Shonda Rhymes -- year of yes (a great read) and the surrender experiment by Michael Singer.
