I saw a Laura Belgray writing prompt about finding a $20 bill

It jogged a memory of years ago when I found a $100 bill

In a flash I wrote her a little story about it.

(it's hard to write her a story, she's a lot to live up to)

The point is, there was zero hesitation. The writing just flowed.

It was more like excitement to tell her because I knew she would laugh, (My intended result).

My story was about an important life lesson I lived and learned, and I knew it cold.

I know it's a funny comparison to having lived your offer.

But I said f it. I'm gonna tell ya anyway. Sorry Chris, It just flowed. : )

This is exactly what I'm talking about!

If you have lived it it is much easier to write ✍️.

Glad you told me 😜

Yep, I wrote my first book - a 52 week devotional on the book of Proverbs in 2 months versus a book of the same size that I currently fighting with (started in February) because I had to do a lot of research on some technical points and the solution to the problem is a bit of a work in progress.

You are experiencing it first hand.

Nothing wrong with doing a book that requires research (done that many times!) and thinking but writing a book quickly takes expertise already established.
