  SPEAKER_00: Or perhaps you've already launched your book and it's not getting the attention it deserves.
• 0:25
  SPEAKER_00: You've spent what feels like every ounce of energy on writing it, and now you're supposed to market it also?
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_00: It kind of just makes you want to give up.

  SPEAKER_00: Well, maybe it's neither the first draft of your book or the book launch.

  SPEAKER_00: Does something within your heart come alive whenever you see your finished work there on the screen or on the page?

  SPEAKER_00: If you've been called to start it, then you've also been called to finish it.
