Notes from this episode:

When you have multiple book ideas, how do you decide which book to write first?

Here are a few questions to ask:

  • When you’re praying about it, do you get a sense from God which book is first?
  • What do you feel the most passionate about right now?
  • What are your goals right now? Does one of the books line up better with your goals?
  • Which book could you get done first? Which one seems like you have the most content or is easiest to write? You learn the process, get it done, and start momentum.

    Shelley, thank you for this brief but insightful and helpful post. I have several book ideas (some I’ve had for years). And I even have draft chapters written for a couple. I will pray and applying your common sense (but not ones I thought of) to my list and get started. May God continue to bless your ministry.
