One of the challenges we writers face is being satisfied with what we write--at some point! Let me encourage you to send it out! It most likely is better than you think. I think of my first book and by now I would have re-written it thousands of times. But it was published back in 1984. There's always room for improvement but our work will never bless others if we don't let the baby bird fly from the nest. Just know what you've been going through is shared by all of us. I put your name on the drawing list. Thank you for stopping by!Kathy Collard Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12817358373337068610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811129216191843572.post-65980660669526147542014-03-31T16:50:30.786-07:002014-03-31T16:50:30.786-07:00Thank you, Bonnie.

In response to His Voice I have written and re-written my story.I am yet busy writing another draft. I have probably missed out on the competition, still hope that I could stand in line to win.

It is my joy to write about Him. I've decided to stop fretting about whether I have "book deal," because I can't make that happen. But I can write with excellence for the pleasure of the King at every opportunity. I'm reading a powerful book ("When I Don't Desire God: How to Fight for Joy") that reinforces the true joy of what Christ has accomplished for us. That perspective will certainly color all my writing in the days ahead. Linda and Edna, your book is bound to be a blessing!Dawn Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05957360355045353019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811129216191843572.post-22496645679222864612014-03-25T07:49:20.946-07:002014-03-25T07:49:20.946-07:00Great to hear from you, Edna.

I fell in love with Linda's words in the first two chapters before she finished them. (She wrote two chapters, I wrote two, etc., until we finished seven chapters each.) What an adventure! God blessed us over and over as we wrote! I don't want a free book, but it would be my honor to sign the winner's book along with Linda. Blessings on all the commenters!

Writing is an exciting and rewarding calling. But it can sometimes be difficult when God calls you to share a difficult part of your life. But He is faithful and will continue to guide you through it. Best of luck and many prayers as you start this new exciting journey!Linda Gildenhttp://lindagilden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811129216191843572.post-23973701379668459992014-03-24T11:02:22.062-07:002014-03-24T11:02:22.062-07:00I shared this on FB, Twitter and G+I shared this on FB, Twitter and G+Faithful Acres Books ~ Linda Marie Finnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149437557897266898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811129216191843572.post-75676831306745188262014-03-24T11:00:15.452-07:002014-03-24T11:00:15.452-07:00Oh, this is so much a blessing.
