Phi 3:14-15 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye
be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
1Pet. 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us,
leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
GW Isa. 30:8 Now, write this on a tablet for them, and inscribe it in a book
so that it will be there in the future as a permanent witness.
7 Steps for Strong Writing
1. It all begins with grace and the Holy Spirit. I use this by CCR; continual, consistent, relationship with Him. Having an on going intimacy with Jesus, all the time is the secret to develop your walk in being the best one can be. This gives you fuel for writing what God wants you to. It gives you the ability to see, in this it gives you your identity in Christ. What I mean is an ability to see the beauty in things, the ability to react in a positive way in life. By this always; pray, worship, and be in gratitude. Soak and drink of grace and God’s presence. Always do this in your continual conversation or soaking with Him in every possible moment. This is a secret to a strong powerful writing that can heal, or do signs and wonders in anything you do. How can a master paint his piece without a stroke of grace in his hand? How does he convert all the colors on to the canvas to create beauty? This is your beauty with the pen. Let God give you your creativity from grace.
2. Ask God for the right questions in what you seek. Ask for the Holy Spirit to help you in what you are doing this day. Help you to have flow and emanate and translate what you are saying into what you are writing or doing. Asking God is the key to all things, then having faith to wait.
3. Structure; It is good to have an outline; structure your works, what is it about, research, story line, points and goals. Then highlight the main points, summarize, then start writing. Remember to have transitions to make sense from one paragraph to another or story to story. Flow into the next step or goal or point. Now we’re done with that let’s move on. Be complete yet smooth, flow into.
4. Specific, have goals or steps. Don’t be ambiguous, to the point. Don’t drag it out losing your power of thought by saying to much.
5. Observe subtleness. Put in noticeable quotes or scripture at random. Remember to the point. Also a short story, a parable if you will, and maybe a little disarming humor.
6. Be Active and descriptive. Not passive or rambling on. Keep their attention. Be direct, less is more. Give life to an inanimate object. Narrow down your writing making it simple as possible. Paint a picture to the mind. Have a specific purpose or goal or point. Involve your reader. Create contrast in it.
7. Make your writing like conversation. Make it like the person is standing their and you are talking. Big words do not make for good conversation, huh, what did you say? Be instructional. Pose a question in their mind. Getting them to think or challenge them is good. Don’t distract or wonder off the point.
Keep a journal of your life and always write down points of interests and use it for different points in your writing and maybe in the glossary for your book.
Steps to take when through;
A. Ask God what He wants to do with what you have completed.
B. Now that you have it finished save and back it up on file. Record it on Disc.
C. Also it is good to mail it to yourself by registered mail and not open it and put in a safe place from fire and flood. Poor man’s copyright.
D. Start copy right and get a ISBN number.
(ISBN is the address code bar for your publisher so stores have a way to purchase your book)
