ACFW: What a Difference a Year Makes!

It’s amazing the difference a year can make in a writing career. Last year at this time I was counting down the days to conference, fretting over one sheets and pitches and which agents I’d be talking to.

This year I haven’t had much time to think about the conference, though I’ve helped plan the workshops, assisted in organizing the authors that will be at the massive book signing at the Mall of America in Minneapolis, and planned a late night chat with Cara Putman on Writing Buddies.

We’ve been too busy with packing and fixing up our home to sell  for me to fret over my own stuff. Luckily I have an agent who has already sent my proposal to eight editors, so for the most part, I’m just going to be talking up my manuscript and enjoying the fellowship and educational opportunities!

What a difference a year makes! Last year I was stressed and slightly worried, this year I know God has everything in the palm of his hand, from my writing career to my house sale and every mundane thing in between.

What a difference the peace of God makes!

If you’re going to ACFW Minneapolis this week, please leave a comment and don’t hesitate to stop me and say hello!

From the day I received my first diary in the second grade, I've had a passion expressing myself through writing. Later as a journalist and novelist, I realized words, if used powerfully, have the ability to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another. Today as a writing and health coach, I inspire others to live their extraordinary life and encourage them to share their unique stories.
