9 Year Old Author

Last year at my daughters parent teacher conference her teacher mentioned that my daughter had skill in writing. When I picked up my daughter from school I mentioned what her teacher said and my daughter responded with " I have a book I want to write."

I said " Let's do it." So that weekend we wrote the book. She wrote it and I helped with edits. It is a short children's story and when the illustrations are done she will have a published book. 

There are two reason why I encouraged her to write the book. The first is that everyone has good or God ideas but most people never take action on them. Sadly, most peoples good creative ideas are never birthed. Most people never take action because it is not the right time, they don't think they are capable, or they don't think they have the resources. 

The second reason was that I wanted to teach her the process. In anything creative there will always be a process of doing the work, patience, persevering, working well with others, and learning the finances. Writing the book opened up many learning lessons. 

P.S. The Proverbs 13:22 Book Writing Challenge starts Monday. If you have ever thought of writing a book or if you have lessons that should be passed on to future generations the challenge will help you get it done.
