Taking That First Step
I confess, I find this a little intimidating. It took me longer than it should have to get the book written. I had a hard time imagining that anyone would read it, much less buy it. But I felt that God wanted me to write it, so I did. It’s still a rough draft as I write this, but it’s almost ready to start shopping publishers.
Now I’ve got to build the web site to go with it. That shouldn’t be a problem. I have built and rebuilt 3 web sites already, one of them several times. But this is different. People might actually visit this one who will make decisions on whether to work with me based on what they find. I don’t get a pass for being a blind man developing visual interfaces. WordPress’s new block editor isn’t the most screen reader friendly thing ever, though to their credit they have a team working on accessibility.
So what do I do? I haven’t got a job yet. I’ve got to start paying attention to how I spend my money. Do I hire someone to come make it pretty? Maybe so, if I really believe in what I’m doing. I’ve already dropped money on hosting.
It would be easy to put it off. It would be easy to give up on the whole project. I can’t do that. I’d be disobeying the Lord, and I’d be making lies out of much of what I just wrote in the book. So, here I am. Maybe things will have come together by the time you see this, or maybe it will still be a work in progress. That’s okay. I’ve got to start somewhere, and somewhere is right here!
