Sometimes I fear that my personal lack of discipline will ruin my kids’ futures. I look at them and see these bundles, packed with potential to an unfathomable degree. They overflow with it! The horizon stretches in sunset hues while God works His wonders in and through their lives, employing each gift He has given them. [...]

I’ve said it before, my writing journey has NEVER gone as I’ve planned. Neither has my life, but that’s another slew of posts for another time. I wonder if any of our plans turn out exactly as we want. I’m sure there’s some blessed soul where the universe works in her favor, but for the [...]

Unless the Lord Builds Your Writing House

There have been some great posts recently about the difficulty of this writing journey we’re on together. If you haven’t read The Lonely Writer and When You Feel Like You’ve Been Left Behind, you should go do that now.

Earlier this week I talked about your writer’s attitude over at my Real-Writer’s Blog. I won’t copy that and paste it here, since it’s lazy (and the web crawlers don’t like it), but I’ll continue my thoughts. A successful writer becomes a success long before the first book contract is signed. Success happens when you [...]

Filed under Blog, Encouragement
Being a writer is like strapping yourself into a straight jacket and then jumping on a Rockin’ Roller Coaster. Once strapped in, you can’t get off and you have to trust that the operator will bring you safely to the end.

Why You Can’t Live on the Mountaintop

Filed under Blog, Encouragement
Mountaintops are beautiful. It’s there you feel free as if you have the world at your fingertips. You have a front row seat to God’s majestic sunrise and at night, an unobstructed view of the vast universe. It’s a wonderful place to experience, but you can’t stay up there for ever.
