January 2021

The weather is usually the first to come to mind when I don’t have much to say. Fortunately, there have been many things happening since my last posting. I just don’t want to start with the weather. I’ve been listening to many YouTube church services researching for my book. This book has taken over a year now, with most of its time spent in research. I hadn’t even begun the backbone of the primary branching. So far, they are almost a mismatched of ideas being put together, although most do have their merits. I hadn’t thought it would be easy to write my second book seeing this will be my first nonfiction. I had read numerous nonfiction books, not including school books, of course; I hadn’t thought how much this can take a toll on my time, my efforts, and my Bible knowledge. I understood perfectly well when I remembered reading a page from one of Dr. Billy Graham’s books when he mentioned it. There had even been thoughts about changing my theme title at one point in time, then I started gathering ideas on how I would write that. Afterwards, I wanted to pinpoint the mannerisms of the book. Should it be a list for beginners or intermediates? Should I make one similar to a daily reading like a Bible study or a devotional? Or should I just stick to a daily reading like a Bible Study or a devotional? Or should I just stick to what I wanted this book to be: a theme study book or self-help information? It was hard to decide, seeing I had all these options. I suppose I can imagine all those hours, days, weeks, months, and years that I will be researching for each of them. I don’t know how those nonfiction writers do it. I guessed this snowstorm had helped a bit.
