How Not To Write The Wrong Book with Dr Kathrine McAleese

I know it seems crazy to think you could end up writing the wrong book, but trust me, it happens to the best of us. You’re moving right along, then one day — BAM! 

You realise it’s the wrong damn one.

But what’s really amazing is that sometimes the wrong book is exactly what you need to get to where you’re going. 

That was precisely the case with Dr. Kathrine McAleese. 

Dr. Kathrine’s book was coming right along when it hit her: it just wasn’t the book she was meant to write. It didn’t feel big enough. It felt too easy, like she wasn’t digging as deep as she could, and wasn’t bringing everything to the table.

Her book didn’t speak to where she was headed and the impact she envisioned she could make.

That would require a different type of conversation.

Dr. Kathrine wrote her new book with a tone that spoke to a different audience.  After me constantly telling her, “More Jesus!” she finally gave herself permission to share it all through her very own lens.

The result was a book that changes lives (and is a joy to read, to boot).  

The bonus? Dr. Kathrine’s book even changed her.

The reality is, no one wants to write the wrong book.  But if you find yourself in that position, think like a sculptor. Just chip away the bits that aren’t needed and you will find your masterpiece underneath. 

It was an honor to have Dr. Kathrine come on The AUTHORity Show to share her story, because should you find yourself writing the wrong book, you’ll know there might still be some value within it.
