Books

I never knew how hard it was to actually sit down and write a book. I am working on one about getting through cancer and what it means to find victory. I have been writing it since about August or so and it's tough to actually sit down and write it. I have to form my thoughts just right and make sure I get out what I want to say the way I want to say it. That can be so difficult sometimes. Then the editing of my goodness so much editing to do.

I think right now i have about 7 chapters or so, though I am having fun writing it, I'm still finding it hard. Makes me appreciate those who have written more than one novel like Hemingway or even Grisham. If it's taking me this long to write something I know about and dealt with, and stuff How long did it take them to write their books? Did they find as hard as I am to sit down and focus, or did they have writers block so much.

Writers block is sooo terrible lol. But throughout everything I appreciate all the novels and books that I read all the more. Literature is almost like a part of the author's soul, a part of who they are. It gives you an insight to many different things like what the culture was like and what not. Reading is fun...reading expands your knowledge and makes you a better conversationalist.

Facing Your Giants

We all know I love to read. I am always reading something new. Recently I started reading "Facing Your Giants" by Max Lucado and it is a very powerful and moving book. It really makes you think about your giants. He talks of David and Goliath, and then David and Saul. I haven't gotten very far in the book cause well I just started it. But it's a wonderful book, for both Christians and non-Christians alike.

He talks of facing your giants with confidence and not allowing them to infiltrate your joys. It talks of being strong and bold even if you don't feel like you are cause look at David a young boy, skinny, gangly, not what one would think when they think of a giant killer. We need to see ourselves as David facing the giants with all we have and not cowering.

Max has a wonderful way of portraying his ideas. It's easy to understand which can be hard when dealing with certain issues. Anyone would benefit from reading this book I highly suggest it.
