Jeremy D Vance’s Review of “The Art of Slow Writing: Reflections on Time, Craft, and Creativity” by Louise DeSalvo

If you are a writer who avoids sharing smaller word counts, this is a great book!

In the introduction, DeSalvo states, “In our rush-rush world, if we allow ourselves to slow down our lives and our writing process, we’ll discover that we’ll connect—or reconnect— with the wellspring of our most profound work.”

Whether you are a fiction writer or memoir author like DeSalvo, this book is worth the look. From tips to connect with your Muse to creating a process journal, good writing wisdom can be mined here. The author also backs up this information with similar practices by popular authors showing that you are not alone in slow writing and that you can learn from good examples.

This book drew me in for a little over a week. It sure kept my interest and I’m sure it will keep yours too.

Our Hope In the Midst of Trouble by Jeremy D Vance

Everyday we deal with the world’s trouble. We may experience the loss of loved ones or our savings might dwindle from unexpected bills.

Yet Jesus wanted them to know that though trouble exists in the the world, He has in fact overcome it. Though death exists, it has been overcome. Though pain exists, it has been overcome. What an assurance! We don’t need to fear the world’s troubles, because Jesus has overcome them all and the power behind them. Believers, let’s not fear hardships anymore. Let them come for we rest our faith in Jesus.

Why Should We Put Our Hope in Jesus? By Jeremy D Vance

Why should we put our hope in Jesus? 1. Because He brought hope to many others during His life Matthew 11:5 : The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor. Jesus pointed out that what He was doing fulfilled the early portion of Isaiah 61, but also that John the Baptist (who was experiencing doubts) could hope in Him because so many people had already found their hopes fulfilled. People who spent their lives lame found restoration of their limbs. A paralyzed man experienced full healing as well as forgiveness of his sins. After being dead for a few days, a man returned alive to his two sisters through Jesus’ calling him out of the tomb.
