You're young but have already learned one of the most valuable lessons in your writing journey: give it over to Him - your words, your stories, and then leave the timing of publication in His more than capable hands. Everyone's path is unique. And you've finished a novel. That's more than a lot of wannabe writers ever do. I put my writing aside for a decade to raise my three children (and be a pastor's wife and go back to work part-time, etc.), but the Lord used that time in my life to learn valuable life lessons that can't be taught through books or any other way. Embrace each one, hug your family and keep writing for His glory. He won't steer you wrong.

(I advise writers not to touch clichés with a 10-foot-pole, and personally I try to avoid them like the plague. ;)<br /><br />Please record all the funny and thought-provoking things your kids say and do. I guarantee they will provide fuel for future articles!Rick Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795635112065282277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676691386361883927.post-92114002821809957972011-05-22T16:26:39.995-04:002011-05-22T16:26:39.995-04:00Welome Joy!
