Boss Your Book - Chapter 5: DO THE WORK
hikariwayChapter 5 – DO THE WORK is where authors stop dreaming and start transforming. This chapter pulls you out of theory and into action — the sacred, necessary, uncomfortable, liberating work of actually writing the book God placed inside you.
Here, Dr. Terri A. Simmons guides you through the deep inner work required to write with honesty, courage, and clarity. Writing isn’t just typing words — it’s digging into the corners of your spirit, confronting the truths you’ve lived through, and letting your experiences shape the message you’re called to deliver.
You’ll learn how to write without overthinking, how to silence the inner critic, and how to pour your story onto the page without worrying about grammar, perfection, or polish. You’ll discover why writing reveals new memories, unlocks old wounds, exposes forgotten wisdom, and forces you to see yourself more clearly. This chapter teaches you how to lean into that process with intention, humility, and grace.
Most importantly, you’ll learn the secret every real author knows:
Books do not write themselves.
Chapters do not magically appear.
Your transformation — and your reader’s transformation — happens when you show up and do the work.
Chapter 5 teaches you how to move from thinking to writing. You’ll learn how to dig deep, write honestly, silence your inner critic, and pour your ideas onto the page without perfectionism holding you back. This session focuses on discipline, truth-telling, and the emotional work behind creating a meaningful book.
