Introducing Shadows That Linger by Bell Landers. The book many other writers wish they had written

Okay, let me just get this out of the way—I’m jealous. And I’m not talking about the “bloodlust angry” kind of jealousy. Nope, I’m talking about the “why didn’t I think of that first” kind of jealousy. I’m jealous because I cant wait to finish and release my book, but I’m so happy to see friends release their books. I’m also jealous because my incredibly talented friend Bell Landers has just released Shadows That Linger, and it’s everything I didn’t know I needed in a book.

After three years of hiding from a past she never wanted to face again, Abby’s world comes crashing down when her father’s unexpected illness pulls her back to the haunted hometown she tried so desperately to escape. Upon her return, she finds that history has a tragic way of repeating itself and Abby soon becomes a widow for the second time, forced to clear her name and divulge more of her precious secrets than she’d ever anticipated in an effort to bring herself and her husband the justice they deserve.

With the help of the town sheriff, someone she shares just as much painful history with, Abby begrudgingly falls head first into the unknown in more ways than she ever feared in the first place to come face to face with all that threatens her life and peace of mind. A story of trust and betrayal, Shadows That Linger leaves you wondering if anyone is truly safe.

So, let’s help her out, shall we? Grab your copy, show some love, and maybe, just maybe, I’ll stop with the playful jealousy and start showing off how lucky I am to know such a talented author. Trust me, you won’t regret it.

Ok, now on with the blog.

The Soul of Writing: A Love Letter to the Craft

There’s something sacred about writing. It’s not just ink on paper or words on a screen—it’s pieces of yourself, scattered across sentences, waiting to be felt by the world. Writing is raw, messy, and alive. Some days, the words pour out like a river, effortless and unstoppable. Other days, they refuse to come at all, stubborn and silent. But even in those quiet moments, writing is always there, waiting for you to return.

Writing as a Conversation with the Soul

Writing isn’t just an art—it’s a dialogue between who you were, who you are, and who you’re becoming. It’s the untamed thoughts, the feelings you can’t quite name, the stories that refuse to stay hidden. It’s a conversation with your past, your dreams, and the version of yourself that only exists between the lines.

Sometimes, writing feels like magic. You sit down, and the words appear, like they were always meant to be there. Other times, it’s a fight—against doubt, against perfectionism, against the fear that no one will care. But the beauty of writing isn’t in how easy or hard it is. It’s in the act itself.

Because every time you write, you leave a piece of yourself behind. And that? That’s something worth showing up for.

The Power of Authenticity

In a digital world overflowing with content, the most valuable thing you have to offer is you. Readers don’t just want information—they want connection. They want to feel something. That’s why soulful writing matters.

The best writing isn’t perfect. It’s honest. It’s fearless. It’s the kind of writing that doesn’t beg for attention but lingers in the mind long after it’s read. It’s the kind of writing that doesn’t chase trends but dares to tell the truth.

Authenticity is the difference between words that are skimmed and words that are felt. So write like it matters. Because it does.

Letting Go of Perfection

One of the biggest traps a writer can fall into is the illusion of perfection. That voice in your head telling you that it has to be better, sharper, cleaner before it’s ready. But here’s the truth: perfection is a myth. And chasing it will only keep you from writing at all.

Your favorite books, your favorite blogs—the ones that changed you—they weren’t perfect. They were real. They spoke to something inside you. And that’s what makes writing powerful. Not flawless grammar. Not polished phrasing. But heart.

The best thing you can do for your writing? Let go. Stop editing yourself into silence. Stop waiting for the perfect words. Write the messy, imperfect, soul-stirring truth.

Writing for the Love of It

At the end of the day, writing isn’t about algorithms, engagement rates, or search rankings. It’s about passion. It’s about turning fleeting moments into something permanent. It’s about capturing a feeling and letting it live forever in your words.

So write like no one is watching. Write like your words have weight—because they do. Whether one person reads them or a thousand, whether they go viral or stay tucked away in your drafts, the act of writing itself is enough.

Because writing isn’t just something you do.

It’s who you are.
