When I was a little girl, I used to wander the school library searching for my name on the spines of books. I was obsessed with the idea that one day, I’d pull a novel off the shelf that I had written. That dream stayed tucked in my heart for years, quietly whispering through journals, poems, and songs I wrote growing up.

But it wasn’t until I had an Akashic Records reading in 2019 that my dream of becoming a published author felt realistic. After the reading, my childhood dream of writing novels came back to life.

Childhood Dreams and Ghost Stories: My First Attempt at Writing a Novel

I started writing my first story in third grade on a borrowed laptop. It was about a girl who could see a ghost in her house, a mischievous spirit who played tricks on the family. Looking back, it’s hilarious how my eight-year-old self was already weaving magical realism into her storytelling. And now, 22 years later, I sometimes chat with spirits and am writing a novel that blends fantasy, romance, and emotional healing. Full circle, right?

Akashic Records and Writing Novels: The Reading That Changed Everything

In 2019, I was working as a barista when one of my regulars mentioned she was an Akashic Records reader. I immediately booked a session with her. I hadn’t told her about my secret dream of writing novels, but during the reading, she described magical elements of a book series I might one day write. My guides were basically shouting: 

It’s time. Write the book.

From Notes to Novels: How I Started Writing Again

After that reading, I started jotting down ideas, fantasy journeys, one-liners, character sketches. I didn’t know where it was going, but I knew I had to follow the breadcrumbs. And then, for my 30th birthday, my husband gifted me a membership to The Novelry. Now I’m writing my first novel with the support of an incredible writing coach whose books have hit the Times bestseller list. Yup! This is a dream come true for me. 

Every morning, I wake up excited to write. Ideas flow throughout the day. 

It feels like magic. It IS magic. 

Living the Dream: Akashic Records and Writing Novels in My 30s

I’m deeply grateful. My husband is supporting me while I write and build my spiritual business. I know not everyone gets that kind of support, and I don’t take it for granted. I think of my eight-year-old self, searching for her name on book spines. I think of my 16-year-old self, asking in her first psychic reading if she could be a writer, and being told to “think bigger.” You can read that blog post here. 

Now, at 30, I’m living that dream. And it’s only the beginning.

Be the Light: Your Dreams Matter

This post is personal, but I’m sharing it because I believe in the power of dreams. When we allow ourselves to be happy, to follow what lights us up, we lift everyone around us. If you’ve been wondering how to start, or what to do with those soul whispers nudging you forward, I’d love to support you.

You can book an Akashic Records reading with me or just keep following along here at Heart of Britt. I’d love to be your penpal on this journey.

Thanks for reading. I hope your day is full of light and possibility.

With love, 

Brittany
