Chapter One

I am in the process of writing my first book! It is a very exciting time, but scary as well. Before my book can be sold to publishers I need to complete a few task. I have less then two weeks to write the table of contents, three to five pages of the first chapter, ten to twelve pages of a middle chapter as well as put together a media packet. After the book is sold I will then need to finish the book. Twenty chapters. Four hundred pages. I just finished my second page. Two pages and I still have three hundred and ninety eight to go. It can get overwhelming to think that I have to make those two pages become four hundred. However, if I think about the fact that I am only three pages away from completing the five I need for my literary agent next week, its not so bad. Circumstances can seem impossible. We often see how big our problem is and forget how much bigger our God is. Most books aren't written in a day, and most problems aren't solved overnight. We need to write that first page to finish the book, and we need to take our lives one day at a time. I can't expect to finish this book in a few days, but I can plan on finishing the first chapter. You may feel like your life is on a deadline, with so much to deal with you are overwhelmed. Instead of trying to write a book, try to start with the first chapter.
