What Christian Writers Can Learn From The Greatest Showman
My husband and I went to see The Greatest Showman and I LOVED it. My husband asked me what I liked about it so much and I couldn't put my finger on it. "So many things," was all I could say. I've been listening to the soundtrack every day since. But I've been thinking more and more about what I loved about the movie and I realized it has so many messages that encourages me personally as a Christian writer and blogger. Here's my top five themes I gleaned from the movie for the Christian writer: Disclosure: Some of the links in this post are affiliate links.

Barnum could not let go of all those dreams in his head. They kept him awake at night. And I can relate to that feeling. When God gives you a dream, a message to share with the world, it can keep you awake at night. It can fill your thoughts and we can either follow them, as P.T.
WritingWhy Every Blogger Should Try Blog Batching
Batching is a productivity tool to help you streamline your work. For example, if you're going to make a batch of chocolate chip cookies, you don't make each cookie one at a time. No, you first get all of your ingredients, then you add them all together, then mix them up, then put them on the baking sheet, then bake them, etc. This allows you to make more cookies at one time since you're focused on one task at a time, instead of doing the same things over and over again each time. When it comes to your blog posting, there's many steps involved. You have brainstorming, outlining and research, actually writing the post, designing graphics, and social media promotion. You could spend several hours or even days on one blog post, only to have to do it again every single time you want to write a post. And it's easy to get distracted and lose focus between steps. (Or, maybe that's just me.) But if you batch your posts, you can create several posts in the space of a few hours over the course of a few days.
