I've been doing this since I was in...I hear ya! I've been doing this since I was in fourth or fifth grade, and for years the only place I was published were school papers. After that, a loooong dry spell. I even quit writing for a few years. Still don't have an agent. Still haven't published a novel. But I think God allows us to be battered a bit, allows us to learn patience and learn our craft, because there will come a day when it will be rewarded.<br /><br />Among my friends are writers who, in their quest for publication -- and, in their mind, significance -- they sacrificed principles and wrote material that got them published all right, but it's dirty and it hasn't advanced their careers the way they thought it would. They got caught in a nasty little backwater of publishing. The rest of us in the group of friends may be taking a longer route, but we're not ashamed of our work.<br /><br />It'll come to you some day.

While I know my worth or my writing's worth is not tied to such, it would still be a very tough road to walk without these small boosts along the way!Chawna Schroederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05000233082405487558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856476455649410565.post-68517071970837899512010-01-14T13:38:46.553-06:002010-01-14T13:38:46.553-06:00Keep your eyes on the Lord and He will direct your...Keep your eyes on the Lord and He will direct your paths.
