The Heart of a Ready Scribe

About the Book

Writing can be a lonely business in which hours of solitude are spent dedicated to weaving a story. Yet through divine guidance, writers can discover creativity, innovation, and the necessary integrity to endure this singular journey. In The Heart of a Ready Scribe, award-winning writer and life coach Melanie Stiles shares a one-year reflection journal that offers weekly encouragement, instruction, and practical advice to both beginning and novice scribes. Stiles not only relies on her diverse experience as a writer with hundreds of publications to her credit, but also her Christian principles to provide ready scribes with devotional meditations and reflection questions, ultimately creating an atmosphere that encourages writers to unite the scribe within who longs to tell a story with the heart that longs to satisfy God. As Stiles traces a path through fifty-two reflections, she shares applicable scriptures and motivational lessons that promote honest writing through God’s gift of gentle persuasion. The Heart of a Ready Scribe allows writers the freedom to journal ideas, plans, and inspiration—all while learning to write from the most genuine place ever—the heart.
