“How’s your writing going?” I asked a woman at a recent writers’ conference.
“Not very well,” she said. “I’m very discouraged.”
“The last time we talked, you were working on a new article. How did
that turn out?” I asked, probing a little deeper.
“I haven’t worked on it in
months,” she said with a sigh. “I sent out three queries and didn’t hear back
from any of them. I was going to look into writing for our church newsletter,
but I just haven’t gotten around to it.” She took a deep breath and blew it out
in frustration, flinging her hands in the air. “I just can’t seem to get any
breaks. I don’t understand it, because I believe God’s called me to write.”
