I have been praying that God would show me where to go next in my writing this year, too. I spent the month of january polishing my WIP and sending it off to an agent and editor. The agent sent me a very nice rejection letter (is that an oxymoron?) telling me she had seriously considered it but had 2 projects already similar so was passing. I haven't heard from the editor yet so that fleece is still out there! Then I took the month of Feb. off to declutter my house and scrapbook. Still not finished with either one, but took another Margie Lawson class in march which encouraged me to work on polishing the WIP some more. Here it is April and I am still polishing that plus God has given me a couple other ideas. Everything I read/hear keeps telling me to persevere! So that is what I will do until God tells me otherwise--even if the idea of just reading for a month sounds wonderful!

I've decided I'm just so tired of this whole thing. I decided to take a few days off and pray for God's direction. I got some severe criticism from three different places in about a week's time and I'm wondering now why I keep pushing myself to do something that seems impossible. But so far the only "direction" I seem to be getting is that yes, it's hard, and yes, it takes time, and no, not everybody is going to love your books, and that's okay. So be persistent. <BR/>At least, that's what I seem to be hearing so far. I'm only on the second day of my "break."Melanie Dickersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752176517296691824noreply@blogger.com
