When you're working on a book and a new idea pops up, should you pursue it immediately (also known as 'UP syndrome') or finish your current project first? What do you think is the best course of action?

When inspiration strikes, take action, always!

Write some notes, write a plan, an outline, a draft. You don't need to complete the project all in one sitting.

You can always go back to work on it again later.

As an author, what critique has been the most challenging for you to receive? On the other hand, what compliment has been the most rewarding?

I have not really recieved any negative feedback regarding my works.

The most flattering review was as follows.

"**Review of *Finding Truth: Let the Truth be Your Guide* by Philippa Sue Richardson**

*Finding Truth: Let the Truth be Your Guide* by Philippa Sue Richardson is a life-changing book that shines a beacon of light for anyone seeking clarity, wisdom, and personal growth. Richardson’s writing is heartfelt and profound, blending deep insights with practical guidance in a way that resonates deeply with the reader.

From the very first page, you are drawn into a journey of self-discovery, where the importance of truth—both in the world around us and within ourselves—is explored with compassion and honesty. Richardson masterfully balances philosophical musings with tangible advice, making the complex concept of truth feel not only accessible but essential for living a fulfilled life.

What sets this book apart is its ability to inspire genuine transformation. Richardson’s words do more than offer guidance; they empower readers to re-evaluate their perspectives and challenge their assumptions. She provides real-world examples and personal anecdotes, making her lessons relatable and easy to apply in everyday life.

One of the book’s greatest strengths is its tone of gentle encouragement. Richardson never feels preachy or condescending. Instead, she comes across as a trusted friend, guiding readers toward their own truths with kindness and understanding. The exercises and reflections at the end of each chapter are especially valuable, allowing the reader to internalize the lessons and make meaningful changes in their own lives.

Whether you’re looking for answers in a specific area of your life or simply striving for a deeper understanding of your own values, *Finding Truth* is a must-read. It leaves you with a sense of clarity and empowerment, ready to embrace the truth as a compass for navigating the challenges of life.

In short, this is not just a book—it’s a guide for living authentically, bravely, and truthfully. Philippa Sue Richardson has crafted a masterpiece that will undoubtedly stand the test of time. Highly recommended for anyone on a journey of self-awareness and personal growth!"

Share some advice for aspiring authors. What advice would you give to your younger self?1. What is your favorite line from your book?

When considering advising others about writing and publishing, I highly recommend reading and writing as much as possible.

Read that which interests you, has credibility and is well written. Write anything and everything. Go over your writing, edit, review, revise and even rewrite it!

You will never perfect the art of writing. There is always more to learn. Keep at it.

To date, what is your favorite (or most difficult) chapter you have ever written?

I found my book on Mental Health and Clairaudience the most challenging to write. As I was researching for this book, I read some difficult and upsetting literature regarding the mistreatment of people with mental health conditions. The book took me over 5years to research and write. I delved into my own personal experiences, which was both challenging and rewarding.

Have you ever experienced writer’s block? How did you deal with it?

Yes. For months.

I've felt so uninspired to write at times.

I wrote a poem called 'Not So Inspired' in my very first publication, a collection of poems.

If you don't feel like writing, you have 2 choices. Do something else and don't worry about writing, or do something which will inspire you to write, like reading other people's work, then write.

How long did it take you to write this book?

I have 8 books published.

The shortest book took 5hrs to compose.

The longest book project took over 5 years of research.

Other took me 10 months, 2 weeks or 3 years. They all varied in length of time to write.

What other hobbies do you have outside of writing?

I am a Yoga Teacher, Meditation Leader, Sound Healing and Metaphysical Practitioner.

I have a small business called Inspirit Holistic Services

I love helping people in anyway I can.

Do you have any personal connection to the story or characters?

All my books are non fiction. I include personal experiences and perspectives in each one.

I have a chapter in 'Finding Truth' all about my experiences.

In 'The Real Events Industry' I include about 10 years of my career experiences throughout the book.

My poetry in 'Life, Love & Everything' and 'Words of Mine' are all written from my unique perspective, about my own experiences. I reveal quite a lot about myself in my written works.
