Joanna Gaines composed the passages of her new book #TheStoriesWeTell unsure they would ever be read. “I actually only told two people that I was writing this down, and I never knew if I'd actually share it,” Gaines tells USA TODAY. “The intention was truly to just process, get perspective, write it down." The TV host, Magnolia Network co-founder and Magnolia Journal editor-in-chief felt that all of the “going, going, going” in her life left her feeling depleted. "I think part of that led me to the journey of writing down my story and writing this book, because I was like, ‘Why am I feeling like I have everything I've ever wanted, but I'm feeling so empty?’” Head to the LINK IN BIO to read more of what @joannagaines said about her writing process.
