Most of us have written something, torn it up, or pressed the delete key, and started afresh. We’ve stuck at it until the article, blog or chapter has polished up to a shine. Ernest Hemingway memorably said, “The only kind of writing is rewriting.” For the Christian author, this involves prayer; it involves patience; it involves listening to critics. Maybe it means raising our boredom thresholds!
