Just as is typical with a lot of authors, once my book is published I rarely—other than for handing a copy to an interested party—pick it up again. I think that is an act of love.

When you write from that special place and spend time poring over, praying over, and editing the material, by the time the final copy is ready for print, you kind of consider that particular product to be the finished and inspired product. To make any additional edits to the finished product (which would undoubtedly happen when you are one who strives for perfection), becomes an internal struggle because that desire to continually make additional edits to the finished product makes it, again, a work product.  Believe me, the struggle is real.

I have decided to deviate from my past practice (or aversion) and in this case, read portions of Chapters 2 and 7 from my book as the last installment of this podcast series. Maybe this will become a thing for me? I do not know. But I hope my listening audience will find the tease titillating, inspiring, and enjoyable.
