Ok so after a very sleepless night I spent alot of time pondering things while I cleaned last night and then while I laid awake in bed. 

I’ve always loved writing and English was my favorite and best subject in school.  I’ve been a ‘pretend’ writer (journals, letters, etc) all my life.  The thought of writing a book has crossed my mind many different times over the past several years.

I’ve wanted to write a book about my struggles as a Christian woman that came from abusive relationships, an alcohol addiction, a food addiction (that I’m still working on overcoming to this day) but most of all being a yo-yo Christian (which I’m thankful and blessed to say that God has cured me of this! My faith and relationship with the Lord are the strongest they’ve ever been and there is no more yo-yo action for me – it’s all about walking the right path instead of one foot in and one foot out).  But it was never more than an idea – I mean who am I to write a book anyways?

Then all of a sudden Kelly’s awesome Hot Seminar Series was coming to an end (this past Wednesday night) and I wasn’t planning on attending it because I just didn’t feel like it.  But about 20 minutes after the teleseminar had started there was a tugging on my heart to join in and it was all about writing a book to build your business! So now I have this notion in my head (and heart) that I so could write a book to help build my business!

Lynn Klippel was totally amazing and awesome and I’m so interested in taking her Book School class she is offering next month but as a single mom with a broken down car, a son that needs school clothes, a business woman that needs a new computer and on and on there just isn’t any financial way I can swing it right now.  I hope she will offer more classes in the future because I really really want to go through this nine week course!

But then the nagging thoughts come into my head – you can’t write a book, you aren’t smart enough to do something that grand, who’d read your book anyways, what do you have to offer in a book, your writing skills aren’t good enough to write a book, and on and on and on. 

So I spent those couple hours pondering whether I – a 30 something single mom from Northern Michigan – had the skills, the knowledge or the information to do such a grand thing.
