Do IT!!! Write it and publish it! I self published my first book last November. The writers agent I spoke to last June told me to downgrade it to 64 pages and give it away to broaden my audience, etc. I told him "I'm not doing that" and I published myself. It has been such a sweet conversation starter. Now, I give it to someone who will give me a review then I will sign the book. Yes, it's expensive, but it has been such a wonderful way to fulfill my calling and watch God work miracles in my life. I'll be your cheerleader. Go for it. Thank you Phylicia for the idea to ebook publish. I've never thought of that.
Thanks for your encouraging cheers, foam finger and confetti - it is wind to my sails! It’s so helpful to hear of and learn from other journeys in this space, and hopefully one day I can share mine. :)
I didn't even realize I needed to read this today, but after going back and forth on what to do with my next book, I've decided there's no more room for waiting anymore. Thank you for sharing your heart and your story with us. I truly needed this today.
Thank you for this encouragement, and for sharing your experience. I do have a book on my heart, and it has been hard to know what to do with it, and this is very helpful.
This is so incredibly helpful! Thank you for sharing your process and being a continued blessing and source of encouragement for so many of us. I’ve got a few book ideas in the works (and songs too!) and this is equally liberating and daunting to think that I can just “go for it”.
Wow! This article is what I've been needing for so long! I'm blown away that your sharing it with us! I'm in the beginning stages of writing a book and this really is such a blessing to me.
Thank you for sharing! After years of letting writing sit on the back burner, I'm finally stepping into it again, as it's a gift from the Lord, and something I enjoy. I don't know if I'll publish anytime soon, but this post has been helpful and encouraging!
Thanks for sharing encouraging words
This is soooo helpful and encouraging. God put it on my heart this winter to write a devotional for new moms and writing is already underway!
Oh nice!
I hope I could read your book. Let’s connect!
I’d love to connect! I’m also over on Instagram @happy.mama.healthy.baby
Practical, encouraging, and honest - thank you for sharing the journey!

You mean I could just go ahead and DO the dang thing?!? Ahhhh!!! Scary!!! Liberating!!! Thanks for your transparency and fuel 🫶🏼
Yes indeed!!

Thank you for this! So very encouraging. I'm wanting to create some prayer cards. Do you have a favorite printer for those type of products?
SmartPress!
