Making a Start




Last Spring I was determined to begin again on a lifetime dream of writing a book. I knew what I wanted the title to be, so I typed up the title page and made an outline of chapter themes. An intro and two chapters followed at a snail's pace. Summer interrupted but I was not discouraged. Then in the fall, I discovered that a book came out with the very same title.
 You can see my note: change title.

Everything about my life changed in October, yet I managed to write one more chapter.

During this process, my laptop of six years crashed. Luckily I had typed out my work, even though I hadn't backed it up. So today I typed into my new laptop the completed chapters with a few edits.

Oh, and the book by the same name? I have mentioned it before. "Mended" by Angie Smith. I began reading it for the second time today, this time with an InCourage group. It is a beautifully crafted book anointed with healing and encouragement.

In reading over what I have written thus far, something seems missing. I will pause and pray, but at least, I have made a start.

You know I read this post but went over to "InCourage group" before I answered and forgot to come back....
I can't tell you how proud I am of you for following your dream of writing a book....This group sounds like just the place to get the encouragement you need.....

Please keep me informed of how it's going....
