So your writing a book? What's the title?

The thirty-five missing years. That Title alone makes me wonder how and why were there thirty-five missing years? What happened in those years? Who missed the years? Was someone sleeping and then woke up? Exactly. We want our title to provoke thought. Like my latest book, "Moments that Matter", why do moments matter? Who do moments matter to, and why? Would they matter to me? I believe that moments do matter. Marriage matters. Relationships matter. So, it was easy to title my latest devotional, because the very point I was trying to make was addressed in the title. 

Often times I write the book first and then the Title comes to me. I will hear someone tell me the story of their life and think, "Wow, that would make a great book and I would title it"________". Someone once shared their life history with me and immediately I wanted to write their book. I had the title and everything. It was so exciting I couldn't wait to read it, and I hadn't even written it...yet!

The next thing you may want to think about is, "Who is your audience?" Who are you trying to communicate with and why? What do you have to share with people? What experience do you have, that set's you apart from all the others. What is burning in your heart to share with others, because you know that reading your book will give them hope or help set them free?

I invite you to travel with me all week while I share with you, what I have learned about writing books. I will even share a little about the books that I am currently writing. Everyone has something of value to share. Timing is everything. I have been right on time, late and early. Right on time is the best. See you tomorrow.
