The blog
Writings on food, faith, creativity, and family, all with the goal of helping you nourish your soul.

My Favorite Part of the Publishing Process
I have a book releasing in three days. It’s hard to believe I’m even saying that, that I’ve even finally made it to this point.

They don’t see the time spent living out the stories, wrestling with ideas, shedding more than a few tears over the content. It’s been a journey, to say the least.

If you’re a writer, maybe you bristle at the thought and feel like the “p-word” is as vulgar as any four-letter-word out there. I’ve felt that way, too. (Just so you know up front, this post won’t include practical advice on how to grow your platform. Kind of the opposite, actually.) The thought of “having to grow my platform” in order to ever write a book is daunting and frustrating. Can’t I just write a book about Jesus and pray someone will buy it?
