How Do I Finish Writing a Book?
by Brenda McGraw @BrendaMMcGraw
“Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” Philippians 2:4 (ESV)
How do I finish writing a book?“How can I help you?” Those have been powerful words to me on this writing journey. We need each other, and realizing we are not alone is important to our growth.
We need people on the path towards being an author.
Do you have a dream to be an author one day? Have you envisioned what that journey will look like?
I’m not sure exactly how I got here, other than taking one step and then another. Living in the writing world has changed my life. I’ve met some amazing people whom I might not have had I never pursued my calling to write a book.God has also given me the opportunity to inspire and encourage others to step out of their comfort zone. He may be stretching them beyond their discomfort to touch the lives of other people.
First, commit your work to the Lord. Our calling requires obedience, action and priority.
Do you want to write and finish a book? I add the word finish, because many people have the desire to write but many more never start, nor finish. I have noticed this as I talk to people day after day. I understand, because that is where I was 13 years ago when I first heard God speak to my spirit one day. He wanted me to write my story and told me that one day I would be speaking and writing.
There was a book inside me, but I had no idea what to do to make that a reality.
So I waited.
Don't lose heart.Second, don’t lose heart. Second Corinthians 4:16 says, “. . . inwardly we are being renewed day by day.” Allow God to work in your heart and prepare you to be ready for His timing, as you follow your passion and purpose. God’s timing is always perfect.
Third, make your plans and goals. This is the means to get to an end, to finish.
Fourth, find a place and time to do your writing. The Lord will provide, if you seek His will and plans for your life. “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” Colossians 3:17 (NIV)
I dreamed and wondered if I would ever have a book, since God called me so long ago. Occasionally I would hear something in a message or someone would say a confirming word over the years of waiting. The wait is worth it. We don’t want to go before God; we want God to go before us.
