Writing a book can feel like putting together a giant Jigsaw Puzzle. So many beautiful parts scattered all over my computer. I bring like pieces together and find the corner foundation pieces–what the book is about–then work inward.
I get excited about getting out the box with the sensational picture on the cover. It is my vision for a fabulous book. With great insight and enthusiasm I look at each piece that has great meaning for me. But I have moments of confusion as I look at what seems like a thousand pieces. How can I put them all together?
A mental block stops me cold. Is it worth the time and effort to figure this out? Do I really have all of the pieces to make my picture? I keep thinking I’ll quit and put the pieces back in the box. Then I see the picture I want to display and get back to work on the puzzle.
The thrill of a section coming together makes my day. It is hard work but I will persist as long as it takes to bring my picture together. It is a part of myself, a part of my heart, synchronicity in action.
Do you find yourself puzzling over how your book will come together or do you start at the beginning and keep writing?
