You’ve been carrying the vision for your book for weeks… months… maybe even years. You know the message matters. You feel the call. But every time you try to sit down and start, life gets in the way. The schedule is packed. The responsibilities pile up. And once again, writing your book gets pushed to the bottom of the list.
But here’s the truth that will set you free: Big books are written in small blocks of time.
You Don’t Need Endless Hours. You Just Need a Faithful Rhythm
One of the biggest lies that keeps aspiring authors stuck is the belief that they need large, uninterrupted stretches of time to write a meaningful book.
But real breakthrough happens in the margins, those 20 minutes before the kids wake up, that quiet half-hour during your lunch break, or the peaceful pocket of time right before bed.
Purposeful writing isn’t about having more time. It’s about using what you do have with intention and grace. The best books aren’t always born in writing retreats, they’re birthed in car rides, coffee breaks, and quiet mornings with the Holy Spirit.
Big Books Are Written in Small Blocks of Time
This is more than a writing tip, it’s a mindset shift. When you embrace the truth that big books are written in small blocks of time, everything changes. You stop waiting for the perfect moment and start writing in the present one.
You’ll be amazed at what God can do with your consistency. A page a day becomes a chapter a week. And before long, your book, the one that’s been sitting in your heart, is ready to be held in your hands.
