Winning Wednesday: Your Book Has Strengths. Are You Seeing Them?

This week’s win is recognizing what is working.
When you are editing, it can be easy to focus only on what needs to change.
But your book has strengths too.
Maybe your story is powerful. Maybe your voice is strong. Maybe there is a chapter that says exactly what you wanted to say.
Pay attention to those things.
Knowing what works gives you confidence as you continue refining the book.
Do not just look for the problems. Look for the strengths.

Next up on my Behind the Spine Podcast is Seanathan Polidore, Author of The Bounce Back Season.

From rock bottom to renewed purpose.
After four years of deep valleys and hard lessons, Sean P returns with his 13th publication, a powerful collection born from real-life struggle and spiritual growth.

Part journal, part inspiration, Bounce Back Season is for anyone who’s ever felt stuck, broken, or unsure how to rise again. With raw truth, poetic insight, and guest contributions, this book reminds us: the setback isn’t the end, it's the setup for your comeback.

Your bounce back starts now.
“Sometimes God lets you break… just so you can rise different.”

Winning Wednesday: Honest Editing: Don't Try to Fix Your Entire Book at Once

This week’s win is honest editing.
Editing your book does not mean tearing it apart.
Sometimes the best editing happens when you slow down, stop trying to fix everything at once, and give your manuscript the attention it actually needs.

Choose one chapter.

Winning Wednesday: Completion Milestone
The win is reading your manuscript all the way through. Seeing the full picture builds belief.
