"Writer's block is a condition, associated with writing as a profession, in which an author loses the ability to produce new work. The condition varies widely in intensity. It can be trivial, a temporary difficulty in dealing with the task in hand. At the other extreme, some "blocked" writers have been unable to work for years on end, and some have even abandoned their careers." (Wikipedia)
Given the lack of posts here at G&G, you may think I have had Writer'sBlock for the past month. However, I actually have been writing other things. BestPractices keeps me busy. Work keeps me busy. And I have been outlining a few books.
Here's where I need your help. I am writing three different books on two different subjects. One is easy to write; one is very difficult; and one involves an "unfinished" story. If you had to choose which to buy ... or which to write ... or which to put all your effort into ... which would it be?
The Miracle Man: You know the story. Don't confuse the Miracle Man with the miracle man. Told by son and father. Sold in Christian bookstores.
The Trauma Condo: Same story, different perspective. This one is written with a little G&G flare. Told by one messed up son. Picked up by Oprah ... New York Times' Bestseller. Sold everywhere!
Family on the Fence: Definitely something that would be featured by Dennis Rainey. A tale of a family stuck on the fence ... not doing much wrong ... but not doing everything right ... just getting by in life. What does it take for this family to become one of "those" families that got off the fence and now delights in God's green pasture?

Sounds like all three are winners. Each has people who need to hear the story. So pray that you be guided to finish the one that is needed most, then when it is finished the next one and by then you will have several others waiting with the 3rd to be written. I still check back every week or so to see what you have posted so many are still wanting to hear more of the story, both your dad and mom's and your family.
I think all will have alitte G&G flare, afterall that's what keeps everyone coming back to g&g. God will point you in the "write" direction when His time is right.
Love to all the DeVries....
