Storyteller
As a novelist, I am a storyteller. I will tell the story to its bitter or happy end with as few or many words it takes. ��� Jan Thompson

While It is Still Day...
"I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work��� (John 9:4).
A mish-mash of writerly thoughts. From time to time, these things pop up among my author circles, and I sometimes have two cents to add. This is my news desk, but sometimes I still do blog (this news desk began as a blog called A Cup of Chai in which I wrote about the perks and perils of the writing life and such).
If you���re a writer struggling to find time to write...
Seasons. A wonderfully wise author���thank you, Laura Frantz!���once told me that we have "seasons in life" and "seasons in writing." At that time, my son was entering middle school, and I was so busy homeschooling him I hardly had any time to write my colonial fiction (what I was researching at that time). God provides a time and place for everything... There is a a time to plan, a time to plot, a time to outline, a time to pen, and time to proofread, a time to publish, a time to promote... See, I'm using alliterations. So it's all good.

Pressing On
"I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus��� (Philippians 3:14).
Praise the Lord that I had a fruitful prayer time this morning with the Lord and got some great directions re: workload ���� for the rest of the year. I may have to move one more spinoff series to 2018 so that I can conclude the other existing series. I won't have time to write any new Christmas ���� novellas this year but that's OK. Can't write everything ���� God is still good all the time!

Earthen Vessels
"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels,��that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us��� (2 Corinthians 4:7).
Every book that I write is dedicated to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross to save me from my sins, and rose again from the grave to give me eternal life in heaven. I pray that each book will be a blessing to you too. Ultimately, to God be the glory!
Happy reading!
