a new writing seasonâ™ 

There's something about beginning a new book that's both exciting and overwhelming. I'm not sure what other writers do, but I start by spending time attending to the environment I'll be writing in. For the first time, I'll be writing a book in the office my handsome hubby built for me. Let me know if you'd like to see some pictures!

Until then, picture teal walls, dramatic ceiling angles, brown trim, wood floors, an iron and wood carved desk, a big stuffed chair besides a hanging red Persian rug, and a view that faces the sunset. I am blessed!

Today I dusted and mopped, cleared off my desk, set up my (teal) laptop stand and remote keyboard, and am going to spend another hour or so re-familiarizing myself with what I already wrote for the initial proposal.

The book is due September 1st.

Pray.

Consider fasting.

This book will be based on "Reflections of a young atheist: 5 things I really like about God." The publisher's title will be, "Finding an unseen God: reflections of a former atheist."

I'll check in every now and then to tell you how it's going.

I know I'm not alone when I say how wonderful it is to anticipate another of your writings. Our job's easy: we wait with a sense of excitement. No doubt you have a similar sense, though the job is not likely to be so easy.

I'll be praying for you, and in spirit I will drop by to take in some teal & brown hues.

God bless you and the work He's grantedl

Of course...we'd like pictures. It may lead us all to our own season of "new" and inspiring thoughts.

So excited for you.
