I just did a phone conference with my editors today.

We’re t-minus three weeks till my final manuscript has to be done.

Working with editors is a new experience for me. It’s hard to describe how it feels, but here is my best attempt. Writing is like walking a tightrope. Having editors is like having a safety net below you. I don’t have the fear of falling because I know my editors are going to catch things for me.

I’m at the front end of this writing gig so I’m still finding my voice. My books have to be an expression of who I am. But it is such a blessing to have a couple brilliant editors backing me up on this project. Their insights are so dead-on. I’ll be a much better writer and much better preacher because of them!
