Getting back into writing is a struggle. I put aside my
writing to pack up our house in country Victoria; travel around speaking about
what we’re doing with MAF, move to Cairns, settle in, as much as possible with
no permanent house and watch Matt go off to full-time work, while I stay at home
with our two energetic boys and return to full-time mum. I’ve found it very
difficult to find the time and energy to even think about my writing.
Where do I start?
When do I write?
What was I writing about?
What I’ve concluded is that I have to finish what I’ve
started. I am so good at starting things and never finishing them; starting off
a book or a Bible study, reading ‘how to write books’ and yes, starting to
write a book and getting scared about how to finish.
So, my first task that I’ve assigned myself is to finish all
my unfinished projects. I finished reading the book of John (great book). I’m
about to finish reading one of my ‘how to write’ books and Psalms (also great
books) and I finally worked up the courage to look at my book in progress again
(hopefully a great book).
So no magic formula, just one step in front of the other to
finish what I’ve started. I'm hoping this will be my springboard back into
writing.
