Back in the Saddle

Hello Everyone!

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for their prayers and well wishes. Life has been difficult the past few months, but as always, Jesus has carried me through and given me strength to move on.

I have settled back in to my writing again, beginning a new series in Christian fiction. The idea was inspired by a story my son wrote for a Language Arts project last year. The outline has been completed and the story has begun, though the flow seems to be intermittent right now.

This brings me to an article I came across this morning that I would like to share with you. It sums up the struggles that many of us face when trying to find the time to write. As a single mother home schooling an active 10 year old boy, my writing time is often limited to late night and early mornings. This usually equates to little or no sleep. But with a truckload of determination (and coffee) combined with hope and strength from God, I continue to write.

So, this article is for all of you writers out there that may be facing some of the issues mentioned, to let you know that you are not alone in your struggles. Don’t give up on your writing, even if it might seem impossible. Take it one day at a time, one step at a time, even one sentence at a time. (I am reminded that patience is a virtue. For a writer, it is a life line!) Trust that you will get it finished, and enjoy and celebrate your accomplishments along the way!

God Bless, and have a Happy Writing Day! – Amber
