Writing A Book

     In 2007, I had a book published by Publish America. I can’t remember how long it took, but that was when I had nothing to do, so I tried writing. I wanted to educate people about Cerebral Palsy. I had a pastor’s wife edited it, and I searched for a publisher. I couldn’t believe the cost, and it was too much of a risk. I didn’t take a chance back then. Then I found Publish America that worked on commission. I was paid 8% for each book that was sold. It was called “Living with Cerebral Palsy” and was 25 pages. I was thrilled that I published a book. When I saw the price of the book, I felt ashamed. It was $17! It was on Amazon. My brother told me to write some tv talk show hosts. I wrote Oprah Winfrey, and he wrote Ellen DeGeneres, but they didn’t reach out to me. When I gave speeches, I sold my book. A few years back, Publish America discontinued my book.
     Since my book was discontinued, I have been planning to write another book, but my mind always finds other things to do. I finally made up my mind in August 2023 to start writing a book. It wasn’t going too well, so I decided to stop writing a monthly lesson. In 2024, I started sharing my lessons from the past each month. People think I only watch tv and play. I want to tell them, “You’re so wrong”, but I just smile. I work on other projects, and I have daily things to do. I tried to schedule writing, but it didn’t help. Sometimes, I get too busy to write. When I have time to write, I get writer block! I get upset at myself.
     I didn’t like 25 pages book, so I’m trying to make this book more detail about my life. My plan is to let people to see how God works in my life. I’m nothing without God!
     My mind set is to finish this book, but I should look at this as when God says it’s time, it’s time!
