It has come to my attention that when people read my blogs, I am asking for advice and I am sorry if I give that impression. I am sharing what is on my heart. I am being honest about what I am going through. Sometimes it is response to the comments people have made to my status updates. These people who feels led to give out suggestions really have no idea what Ia m going through. The Lord told me not to despise small beginnings and I haven't really and it is. My dream is to have my stories published by well known publishers but the ones I have looked up either say "We accept no manuscripts" or We do not accept unsolicited manuscripts". A friend once told me that I should get an agent and I have tried. It does not mean that they say my work is unpolished and I need an editor. Although you may think so. It also does not mean I will give up. It is still my dream and as one friend said, "At least you got your foot in the door" when PA published my first book. Yes, I did and it gave me hope. But real hope came when a good friend of mine encouraged me to get into publication! At that time I was still unemployed and have no income, but she never said to me, "But before you do, I suggest you hire an editor."
This person believed in me! She saw talent! So when I am writing a blog, it is all about who I am. My good times and bad times. It gives the readers a glimpse into my private life you might say. Before this friend encouraged me to get my story published,I wanted to wait til I move to Washington State and until after I start teaching (Favorable conditions), but sometimes God does not want us to wait until the conditions are favorable. He wants us to trust him and wait upon him to bring us to what he said will do. Often times God's people took a step of faith and that is what I did. So please do not think that I am asking you for advice. I am not. If I need one from you, I will let you know. I will ask you"What do you think?"
