In the stretch???

Wow!  I just started the last scenario that I intended to be in this first book.  This certainly brings mixed emotions.  I'm excited because I have been mentally writing some of these scenes from the moment I started this book.  Now I am on the verge of getting them in a more concrete form.  It also means I'm nearly at the end of this first book.  It will probably be done before the end of the year.  After I get it done then I find out if publishers think it's worth anything.  That brings a bit of anxiety with it.  I know I can self-publish if I have to but it's better to go with a name that everyone knows.  It's also a little sad because I have enjoyed writing this book so much, I hate to see it end.  I do have the Book II and Book III options.  I may have to jump right in on those while I wait on the publishers to give me their answer.  I don't know if I would have the fortitude to keep writing with a rejection on my radar.  Actually, I am a rather stubborn individual.  I bet I could.  Keep in mind a "scenario" may consist of several chapters and no, I don't have a rigid, formal outline.

You know, if this is truly where the Lord wants me and what he wants me to do, well all I can say is "WOW" and "Thank you Lord."  He put me in a place I love.  If I had listened to him when I was young, I would have already been living in this "place" for the last twenty-five years.  That was my loss to be sure.  Thankfully, God believes in second chances.

I am catching this blog up on the front end of my writing time instead of the back end so I have more to do on my book this week.  I am now on page 273.  That's Chapter 13, by the way.

It's great talking with everyone again.

One piece of advice, listen to God sooner rather than later.

Love you guys,
