How to Start Writing Your Book

EPISODE 02:


In this episode, Lydia shares progress from the first official week of writing her Christian nonfiction manuscript. She shares her surprise in learning to shift from writing “short” to “long”, how to fit writing time into a busy schedule, why it’s important to limit self-editing when you’re just trying to get words on a page, and how to keep your writing focused on the reader’s transformation. For anyone interested in writing and/or self-publishing a nonfiction book, this episode will give you helpful tips for starting the writing process and encourage you when you inevitably encounter difficulty along the way.
