How Great Books Get Started

You ever have a dream that's too real to be crazy but too crazy to be real?

It clearly reveals something so dreadful that you hope it was just an awful dream?

You wake up hot and near a sweat if not sweating already then stare up at the ceiling and think about the details of the movie you just saw playing in your head.

There's nothing symbolic, nothing strange, nothing to figure out  - just a good ol' straight forward revelation.

It's too clear to simply dismiss or chalk it up to a late night donut covered in pink icing and sprinkles.

So you silently pray, "Okay God - what's the deal with that? Are you serious?"

But you feel like He just showed you what the deal was, so there's no real reason to ask for more clarity.

Put simply, it just is what it is . . .  even though you don't want it to be.

So you grab a journal and a pen to jot down the details before you forget them, and while you're writing, you think to yourself, "hey . . . this would make a great book."

Yeah . . . I just woke up from one of those.  

The wheels are turning. Both in my reality and in my imagination.  

That's how great books get started.

While I work on that, check out this EXCELLENT book I read just yesterday and it's only $.99!

Boy, what a way to get people waiting on the arrival of a book. You're good Kimberly! Hope the book out weighs any of the rest of the story that brought it to be. And keep us posted.
