What's it like to take the journey from never writing a book before to being a published author whose message reaches well beyond your immediate circle?

What is it like to take the journey from never writing a book to being a published author whose message reaches beyond your immediate circle? What is involved? Is this something that you or someone you love might do? What are the benefits? What are the costs (and not only financial)?
Over the years, I’ve been blessed to work with some wonderful people, most of them first-time authors, and taken them all the way from “spark to finish” – from the first stuttering spark of “Uh, I think I want to write a book” to having it in print (and ebook, and maybe even audiobook). One such person, scientist and spiritual seeker Jerry Gin, just published his second book developed with my support – Science, Subtle Energies, and Spirituality: A Path to I AM – and I wanted to know what his experience had been like along the way.
Before doing his first book with me, The Seeker and The Teacher of Light, Jerry had never written a book before. He’d written some scientific papers as part of his training as a chemist and his businesses in that field, but they tended to be highly technical and not something a layperson would seek out or understand.
When he realized that he wanted to spread his message much more widely (e.g., the interface of science and spirituality; that there is much more to us, as creations of the universe, than we think; how we talk to ourselves can bring us into alignment with the healing energies of life), he decided to write a book.
