Stress Point: Behind The Scenes #2

 

***Update! The winners of the CD giveaway are Ryan and Pam! Yay! I will send you an email to get your information!

 

Oh good gracious I just can’t WAIT for the release of my book Stress Point: Thriving Through Your Twenties In A Decade Of Drama. This JUNE! I’ve got so many fun things up my sleeve including an online study this summer for you to connect with other readers and dig into the word surrounding stress points in your life. (Think money, dating, friendships, career, etc!)

Stay tuned…

To gear up for the book release I’ve given some glimpses of the behind the scenes of writing Stress Point. Today I’m showing you the nitty gritty of how I dug in and actually wrote the book.

 

Let me tell you…it was TOUGH.

I loved every minute of it.

I stressed over every single word, sentence and paragraph–kinda ironic, right?

I squealed with glee when a certain concept that God downloaded into my heart made its way onto the page in just the right fashion.

I thought about YOU with every example. Would this be relevant to you? Would this help you grow closer to Jesus?

 

Want to know what helped me stay focused while I wrote Stress Point?

 

Music!

I can’t stand a quiet room.

Sometimes it was the super loud speakers blaring Mo-town at Starbucks.

But most of the time it came through my ear buds and my itunes sending sweet worship music to my heart.

 

Here is one of my favorite songs to jam to while writing. Meet Abbi Walker. A Texas Girl after my own heart with her soulful sound and passion to RISE UP! and make Jesus famous.

 

Don’t you just LOVE Abbi?!

 

In honor of my behind the scenes series and the release of Stress Point, I’m giving away TWO copies of Abbi’s cd Save Me. Be sure to check out Abbi’s site to hear more from this album.

 

So… in order to get some of this Abbi Walker goodness, leave me a comment answering this statement:

One thing I love most about being a 20-something is…

 

I will pick a winner on Friday. Are you excited? I am!
