God uses those moments to remind me that when I started the project I gave it to Him, and He has a plan for it. As an author, have you ever struggled with feeling too small to write such big things? And if so, how have you pushed past that feeling?Īll the time! With every book I come to a point where I have no clue what I'm doing, or how I'm going to get the characters out of this mess, and the project just feels too big for me. Their height reminds me that no matter how small I might feel, God has big plans for me. I thought it was so neat to have a cast of characters who barely stood above eight inches. Ideas starting coming together from there! One of those sessions turned into my first short story, The Rebel, and another became the introduction to The Retrievers, which is included in the book just before the prologue. I was going through a writing slump and not able to get anything done until one day I decided to sit down, pick an interesting font, and just type for 15 minutes to get those wheels turning.
I'd been writing the Arcrea books since well before The Heart of Arcrea was published in 2012, so after a decade spent in one world I felt like I needed to "get out" for a bit and refresh my brain. Initially I really just needed a writing project that was fresh and new. What was your initial inspiration for the book? Waiting For Boaz (In a World Full of Bozos).
