Small Beginnings, Great Endings

Last year, I visited the start of the Mississippi River. It is a small, unassuming creek. And yet, at the other end, where it empties into the Gulf of Mexico, it is a great seaport. The other day, I mused that you could take inspiration from that river, for from small beginnings can come great things.

That is the way it is with a book. You start small – the seed of an idea. And you don’t know if that idea will blossom into a bestseller or wither away and disappear. But if you believe in that idea, work with that small beginning. Nurture it and go on that journey to where ever it empties. Who knows? You might just have the makings of a great book!
