Starting a new book can be such an exciting time. I love coming up with my next big idea and then breaking it down into sections and then the chapters within those sections.
To have that creative control is exhilarating and liberating. When else in life can you take the reigns and have such control, or lack there of and still have it all come together so perfectly? Oh, the life of an artist, in any form, is a blessing. A gifted outlet that few understand, yet so many are drawn to.
From the first word to the closing phrase, the work we put into our writing is worth every moment, and is validated when we hold that finished copy in our hands.
So whether you are preparing for your first book, or you are beginning your next, embrace the process of getting it all together.
