Record Keeping

Read Revelations 19-22

Revelation 20:12 "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works."

Writing is creative, so not all writers are good at record keeping, but it is a skill we need to develop. When we are first beginning to write, there isn’t much to keep track of and it doesn’t even seem worthwhile to keep track.

But the more we write, the more crucial record keeping becomes. We want to keep track of which queries we’ve sent out, to whom, when, and whether or not we have a response.

Once payment enters the mix, we can’t afford to lose track of who has paid, who hasn’t paid, and when we can expect payment. Even writers who only write blogs for their own enjoyment will want to keep track of which subjects we have covered and when.
