“I take off my shoes when I write because I consider writing to be holy ground—a sacred trinity of writer and reader and God. You are giving me five hours of your time, give or take. With God’s help, I’m going to give the best book I’ve got. Taking off my shoes is a ritual reminder that writing is a divine calling. I don’t just type on a keyboard, I worship God with the twenty-six letterers of the English alphabet.” Win The Day, by Mark Batterson, pg. 115 (italicized and bold type added by me, ‘dkb’).
