Letting Go
Just Go With the Flow…
I’m not an early riser. I covet a good night’s sleep, and I’ve been known to hit the snooze for an hour before feeling awake enough to get out of bed. So when I woke at 4:30 a.m. this morning and couldn’t get back to sleep, I wondered what was up? I often told God…
Three Months and Counting…
Wow! I can hardly believe it’s been three months since I worked on my WIP. For over a year I’ve been going at crazy pace, staying up past midnight writing, getting a babysitter on Friday’s so I can write for a couple of hours, and then writing often times on the weekend, not to mention…
STOP the ride, Lord. I Want to Get OFF!
Wow! Just as my emotional rollercoaster ride was screeching to a halt, and I had lifted the lap bar, and placed one foot out of the car, the engineer gets an evil gleam in his eyes and cranks up the speed, and I’m thrust back into my seat headed for the first drop. Today ended…
Pardon me while I lick my wounds…

Before the Lord
This will be a short post because of it’s convicting message for me. One of my struggles with writing had been with plopping down in front of the computer WITHOUT seeking God first. Why, oh why, oh why is it so hard to be still before the Lord? I know the reason for me. I’m…
Writing Withdrawals
Today I went to WIN, my local writer’s meeting. We’re going through Donald Maass’, Writing the Breakout Novel workbook. Only problem is I’m not writing a novel right now. One of my struggles has been whether to attend this meeting, so I went to see how I’d feel. After sharing with the group about not…
Letting Go of a Writing Dream
February 24th, 2006 Today I am in mourning. I’m grieving the loss of a love. The loss of an idol in my life. My writing. How ironic my first entry of my writing blog is about NOT writing! Here’s my story… For too long I have been going at a ferocious pace, writing, editing, staying…
