Book Coaching

So there's an idea that's been milling around in your head for a while. Try as you might to get rid of it, you can't, and you're questioning whether God may be calling you to write a book. Here are some things to think about:

1. Are you willing to "go" if you're called to write? I believe many people are called to write, but they don't answer the call. They either lack the confidence or are overwhelmed by the size and scope of the project. Naturally, this begs the questions, "Why do you want to write? What's the purpose?" Answering these questions will help you determine whether or not you're willing to walk down that road.
   
   
2. Are you willing to go the distance? Do you have the discipline it takes to complete the task? Writing a book takes hard work, discipline, and perseverance.
   
   
3. Are you willing to get knocked down? The writing and publishing processes are filled with discouragement and rejection. Do you have what it takes to get back up after you're defeated?
   
   
4. Are you willing to let go? This may sound like a contradiction to the earlier questions. There's a difference between letting go and giving up. To give up is to quit. To let go is to trust that God has a plan for your life and writing a book may or may not be the goal. The goal may be as simple as the act of obedience to the call itself - after all, writing is a growth process. The process itself may lead you into a new venture.
