Day Two – Avoiding Procrastination is Key!

I have realized that writing a book is not as easy as I thought it would be originally. It takes A LOT of time! I catch myself spending eight hours a day and usually more in efforts to kick this baby out by September 17, 2010….at least a manuscript is what I am aiming for here….to get all the words down on paper so that I can then start editing fully and putting the pieces of the puzzle together. I have found myself getting kind of tired of sitting in front of the computer today. It feels kind of like writing a long paper even though I have enjoyed writing the book much more than some of the Communication research literature reviews I did while at Auburn. Concentrating today has been a bit harder than yesterday, but I am going to give it a few good hours before I do a devotion to get my mind right for another day tomorrow to write and push through. I believe this is where God will have me for right now. I was once told that the beginning and the end of this type of work is the most exciting. The middle part is always the most difficult, but when you finish, there is a sense of accomplishment unlike anything else especially when you know this is something God has called you to do.
