Writing My First Book

This month I am taking time out to write my first book. It is something that I've always wanted to do but never had the time. So finally now I am making time. Not having enough time was always my excuse for not accomplishing tasks and goals in the past. I always had too much to do and not enough time. Now that my primary job is being a housewife and living my destiny, I've learned that I can find a million and one things to keep me busy and lose track of time. So this month I am taking inventory of my time and where it goes, making plans that will help me be more effective. Each day I take time out to write. Sometimes I have writer's block, but I don't give up. Even if I only write a paragraph, something is better than nothing. I have struggled for months trying to pick a topic of focus for my first book. These topics ranged from grief, singleness, being a newly wed, leadership principles, communication, sex, and more. All of these topics would be reviewed from a Christian and inspirational perspective because my strength, knowledge, wisdom, and understanding of things are primarily shaped by the Word of God. When I review all of my successes in life, they all stem from me following the Word of God. All of my failures in life stem from me not following the Word of God. There is so much that I could write and say when I can settle down and focus on one thing. So instead of continuing to procrastinate, I just sat down and started writing asking the Lord to lead me. My first book is turning out to be an inspirational book about moving forward. Since October 2010, moving forward has seemed to be the theme for my life right now. My plan is to complete as much of my book within the next 2 months, and send it off for publishing hopefully in March.
