Jemi,
That's great. I'm happy for you. Keep at it. You're going to make it.

LOVE this attitude!! I've only sent out a few query letters - and I was lucky enough to get some personalized comments which really helped me to set my direction and make some really big steps. I'm getting closer to trying those query trenches again. And, yes, I'll keep every response!

Terri,
It was a long, long time ago when the dam burst. But you're right, through our troubles God gives us a rainbow to help us through. Thank you for your condolences. I'll tell my husband.

Oh wow Kathi. I don't remember that incident b...

2012-02-14T12:30:39.073-07:00

Oh wow Kathi. I don't remember that incident but I can't imagine going through it. Yes, through all our trials there is a rainbow with God behind it.
I'm so sorry for your husband that he lost his dad:(

Susan,
Yes to all three questions, that's great. I rely on prayer for my writing too. Prayer helps in so many ways.

Jemi,
It's so easy to have doubts. I'm glad you look the other way and keep going. Tiny steps add up. :)

Yes to your questions. A lot of prayer goes into my writing.

Great advice. Doubts assail me at every turn, but I tend to look the other way and worry about the next tiny step in my process :)

Talli:
You've brought up a great point that of giving yourself permission to push through a story. We can always go back and fix what's wrong. The important thing is to get the words down.

Thanks so much for adding to the conversation!

2012-02-10T14:29:25.375-07:00

Wendy:
Yes, it is enough because the more you write the stories you want to tell you'll soon discover that writing is apart of who you are. :)

Coleen:
That's a good way to think of it as a "built-in shield". Thanks for stopping by.

Great post, Kathi. I write every day to shake off the demons of doubt! That, and I keep telling myself: 'You will fix that later. Don't worry.'

Yes to all three--my built in shield! I love that Kathi! Thanks for the inspiration :)

I agree with Carol. In Feb, faith is a good thing to focus on. I have faith that spring is just around the corner! :)

Susan,
You're a busy writer indeed.I have several talks I need to prepare for in April. You've inspired me not to put it off.

I know what you mean by the smell of the warming pad. I'm thinking of replacing the wheat with rice.

Congrats on finishing your project. I owned a warming pad awhile back, but it smelled so bad I couldn't stand it.

I finished a contracted devotional, and now I'm working on my Genesis Contest entry. I've also picked up editing one of my manuscripts.

Mandi,
I'm glad you liked it! I hope it helped in someway. And thank you for the follow. I hope to see you again. :)

2012-02-07T14:21:33.120-07:00

Paula,
You're right. Faith can be complicated, but it is also very simple. After a person has done everything possible toward a dream, they do have to give it over to a higher power and trust that somehow it will happen. Indeed, life would be flavorless without a good dose of faith.

Carol,
I'm glad you like it. Faith is something we all share though in different ways. Thanks for dropping by.

Kathi, This is a biggie...its complicated but yet simple.
Faith to me is knowing it will get done, we dont have to make it happen, trust the one who makes it happen and believe.
I have Faith that God Loves me -He asked that I love him and others.
Without Faith life would be like food not seasoned.

Faith is awesome. What a wonderful thing to focus on in February. Thanks.
