You readers are wonderful! My blog statistics show you keep coming back, day after day, checking to see if there’s anything new. Sorry to disappoint so often. I’m trying to do edits, sell puppies, do everything Christmas related, foster, AND keep this blog updated.
Here’s some advice for any pre-pub writer who would like to post something like this series when you get your contract: write ’em as you go, save as drafts, and then post once a day when the contract is signed. Save yourself a LOT of guilt!
Friday, October 17th
I email back and forth with Editor B, explaining my great marketing plan. Just so happens that I was a featured author on Shoutlife that month, which didn’t hurt my case, I’m sure.
My cousin Tomi–aka “Tomi is a girl’s name”–emails me this verse:
Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Proverbs 30:5
My interpretation of how this applies to me at this time? My words will not be flawless, but the way God uses them in the hearts of others will be. Also, He will be my shield to protect me from the unfounded negative criticism I know to be the writer’s life. Loving Father that He is, he will make sure the constructive, useful comments hit their target!
Keep up with the good writing!
And don’t worry about the blogging- we still love you!
