We Can't Do It All In One Day

Read Ezra 7-10

Ezra 10:13 "But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand without, neither is this a work of one day or two: for we are many that have transgressed in this thing."

I can’t resist books that are about how to write faster and better. Who wouldn’t want to finish writing a polished novel every few weeks or so?

Barbara Cartland was known for how fast she could crank out a romance. A few other writers can write saleable prose fresh off the pen.

But most of us must take time—we can’t do it all in one day, or a weekend, or a month. We turtles will sell our work, too, but it will take us several drafts and polishes to reach the acceptable and professional levels.
