Back when I started writing my first book 7 Dates With Jesus I was worried about finding someone to edit my books, because I had no experience editing or publishing a book. Then one day I was at church and met a friend who was interested in health and fitness. I felt a nudge on the inside to invite him to come workout with me.
As we worked out together a few times, I found out that he was the editor of the Virginia Tech magazine and he had helped a few other people with their books.
I asked if he would be willing to take a look at what I had written. What I sent him was a complete mess. It was similar to journal entries with no structure or organization. He sent it back to me a few weeks later and it looked like a book.
In this process I learned that I was limiting God. I had been hesitant to start writing because I didn't think I had the resources to edit and publish the book. What I learned is that if you will take a step of faith God already has people lined up to help. If you have been thinking about writing a book, writing music, starting a business, or creating an invention but are not sure where the resources are going to come from I want to encourage you to get started. God will send the people and resources you need.
Today as part of the Proverbs 13:22 Book Writing Challenge we are going to do a bonus session with my editor Jesse Tuel. He will be discussing what he has learned about editing, writing, and communications and you will get an inside look at the process we go through when working together.
P.S. It's not too late to join the challenge.
