Florida Christian Writers Conference

Ha, talk about different POVs! (Points of Views)

That's what is fun about a conference. You meet different editors, writers, and agents all teaching their specialty. Plus meeting some great friends. Sooo, I'll be there through Sunday. Hopefully, promoting my latest goofy writing to some willing editor.

I will be back blogging sometime next week with my mind full of instructions and techniques. (My bag will probably be full of new books too. yikes-sorry hubby.)

So ya'll behave yourselves while I'm gone!

(Do you know which one is me?)

Blessings

I'm leaving on a....

When you read this post I will be at the Florida Christian Writers Conference with these wonderful ladies, the Kindred Heart Writers.



I was so pushed for time, uh, I think the word is procrastination, that I my WIP (work in progress) was not progressing. I wrote a carefully crafted email to my freinds.....well can you say, whinning....that I may not be ready to hand anything in for editors to "look see."



Their kind hearts, forgave my delinquency and said to just go and learn, listen and enjoy. I breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much better. That day after work, it dawned on me why my WIP was out of sync. I rewrote, and now I have something to submit. YEAH.



"The LORD preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me. Return to your rest, O my soul, for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you." Psalms 116:6-7



Why is it when I struggle so, and then finally give up and rest a while, things become clearer? Is it my frustration that clouds my vision, or is it I want to do things my way? Probably both. When will I learn to work and rest?



Do you find that in your life?



Here's hoping an editor likes my vision.
