I had the pleasure of reading this handbook, Revived: Story of Publishing a Christian Novel, on writing, penned by fellow author Jerry Slauter. And it was just that --a pleasure.
I have made it a concentrated effort to get hold of as many books on writing that I can. I haven't read many like this one. Throughout the pages, Jerry shares his journey, his insights, his trials and victories. He encourages, above all, every writer to determine why, or Who they're writing for, what their message is, and to remain true to that.
I especially like the encouragement to decide and remember Who I'm writing for, where the message's inspiration came from. He ties each insight together naturally with Scripture making it a conversational flow, rather than instructional, or clinical. Several spots felt as though I held a mirror in my hands and could see my own reflection. Along with these brief revelations, I could see how do-able the application would be for me.
This is a great handbook to keep on the nightstand (or wherever the most writing is done) for reference. It is an eBook, so keeping it close by is as easy as an eReader's favorites file.
Get your copy at Amazon and refer to it often.
