I did fall out of writing due to a crippling amount of homework, but I rationalized that I was still writing. Time to get back on the bandwagon in 2021. Please pray as I write my new schedule once I develop curriculum for my students in December. Don’t let me abandon my writing. I have the chops for it, but it’s time for my little vacation to be over. <br /><br />Love you,<br />Laurie1writerlaurieepps@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12257614630313547483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-52013063250086035212020-11-25T09:01:27.346-05:002020-11-25T09:01:27.346-05:00Failure to pray and study God’s word can thwart ou...Failure to pray and study God’s word can thwart our efforts to write for Him when He’s called us.

My first conference was 2019 - BRMCWC. I thought i learned enough. Then i sent my manuscript to an editor. Her consultation was life-changing and i'm working hard. This is my first book, and I've been to two more writing conferences. I had no idea how much i needed to learn about the craft as I keep listening to the Creator.

The reality of publishing is that everyone struggles from time to time (yes I do too--even though I've published a great deal). The work some days is hard but I continue to keep my fingers on the keyboard and move forward--i.e. keep writing no matter what. I write in spite of all sorts of opposition. It's the only way it gets done and there is a reason it is called work. I do it because I know books change lives because a book changed my life.<br /><br />Terry<br /><a href="https://www.marketing4books.com/us-ord" rel="nofollow"> author of <b>10 Publishing Myths, Insights Every Author Needs to Succeed</b></a>Terry Whalinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422274807883053266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-78581606389688608542020-11-24T07:08:47.891-05:002020-11-24T07:08:47.891-05:00Good stuff.
