I met with my editor this morning and will be doing that on a weekly basis now.  It was so encouraging and got me so excited about this process!  To have actual, concrete goals that are leading to the end result of a published book just has me so pumped!  Thank you, God, and Miss Becky for a great morning of encouragement and anticipation!

In a couple weeks, I will be heading out for a few days to a personal “writing retreat” where I will spend some focused time on writing without the daily interruptions of life.  I can hardly wait!!!!  I have found myself frustrated with not being able to have big chunks of time to devote to writing, so some time away seems to be the only way to make that happen.  I am praying already, that God would give extra grace at that point, and that the thoughts and words would flow freely and uninhibited.

Thanks to all of you for your encouragement and support in this endeavor.  As always, I don’t want this to be something that I MAKE happen, but something that God creates without any manipulation on my part.  I want it to be what He wants it to be, which may end up being something entirely different than what I now imagine.  And that’s okay.  But for now, I will head in the direction that I feel that He is leading and watch to see where He leads me from there.

Thanks for walking through this process with me!!!!
