When a Story Must Be Told, Nothing Can Stop It

in-spired
adjective - aroused, animated, or imbued with the spirit to do something, by or as if by supernatural or divine influence

When an idea for a book comes to a writer, it is The Holy Spirit embodying the writer with the energy to create a story that must be told. Maybe it’s a story to entertain us or maybe it’s a story with a message. Whatever the story is, the reader takes whatever he/she needs from it and perhaps learns a lesson or feels inspired to take some kind of action.

I’ve been nudged by The Holy Spirit to share these stories with the world and to use this blog to take readers on a journey on how my books came into fruition. I welcome you!

It has been a long road, but I am truly grateful. When a story must be told, there is nothing that can stop it from getting out. My book “Chasing Danger” had to be rewritten after the file containing the book was accidentally deleted from my computer. Now imagine something you’ve worked on for so, so long just vanishing like that! I could have just let it be when it was deleted, but once again The Holy Spirit infused me with the energy to start anew. The book has truly been a labor of love. Everything really does happen for a reason. When I had to rewrite it, more ideas came to me, which allowed me to further develop the book and make it even more compelling and realistic.

I actually wanted to tell the story through a movie, but was inspired to write a book first even though I didn’t really consider myself a writer. A great storyteller, yes, but a writer? It’s interesting how life has a different plan for you. I still envision it becoming a movie, though. All in due time, right?

I look forward to sharing with you my writing process and other tidbits about my books. Make sure to bookmark this blog, tweet it, or tell your friends about it on Facebook.
