Have you ever dreamed of writing a book?
I mean, literally, writing your book while you're sleeping. That’s exactly how Malika’s book got started.
You're going to love this conversation with Malika Semper. We explore how her first book came together, sparked from sentences strung together in the middle of the night.
If she ignored them, she couldn't go back to sleep, so she'd get up at 2:00 many nights and get writing.
Malika is a certified astrologer, a teacher, and now, an author. She's about to release her first book, Tales of the Zodiac. The story behind this beautiful coffee table book is just as fascinating as the book itself.
Malika's book-writing process is possibly the best example of surrendered, intuitive, and feminine writing I've ever seen. You'll see how she balanced divine downloads with the practical assembly of the materials.
In her creative writing process, we see how she stayed completely open, trusted the words pouring onto the page, and kept the mind chatter out of the process. It really shows in the soulful and vulnerable writing of her debut book.
Malika's journey reminds us that creativity can't be scripted. The words may come at inconvenient times, but it's our job as writers to capture them and get them onto the page.

💫 5 Key Takeaways:
The muse doesn't have a schedule or boundaries. Be ready to capture ideas wherever you are, even in the middle of the night.
Writing while in a dreamy, relaxed state is the BEST way to keep the inner critic and any censoring out of your first drafts. Writing when inspiration strikes or first thing in the morning can help.
View writing as a non-linear creative process. You can bring structure in later.
Collaboration can bring your vision to life. Finding the right people to work with, whether an artist or an editor, can make all the difference.
Writing can be a vulnerable experience—sharing your authentic voice is worth it. It's truly what connects us all.
✅ 3 Practices to Try:
Keep a notebook and pen on your nightstand.
Write in as relaxed an emotional state as possible for the best writing.
Explore the energy of your sun, moon, and rising signs in Malika's book to get to know yourself and inspire your own creativity.
