@RaleneB I know the feeling! Hope you get better soon!

Two days of being sick ... ugh. I hate feeling behind. I hate having to catch up. I also hate the inevitable desire to push the world aside and play in my made up worlds while everything around me continues to burn down. 🤣 #writerslife #WritingCommunity

Huge editing day ahead. Send all the coffee! #authorlife

Reclaimed my office, deadline looming. Lots of coffee today! #authorlife

The next time you are facing some huge fear, plagued by anxiety about politics, money, wars, health, or family issues, whatever it is, open your Bible to Job 38. This is when God finally breaks the silence and speaks to Job out of the whirlwind. He tells Job, in essence, “Gird up your loins. Dress for action. I am going to question you.” Then, in example after example, he hammers home this truth: God is God, and Job is not. God created the heavens and the earth, and he still holds the entire world in his hands. Not part of the world, not most of the world, but the whole world. And in that truth, there is consolation. Being God is far above our pay grade. We are his children, severely limited in our understanding, even of our own lives, much less how every event in our lives and in the lives of others is woven into the vast web of history. Of course, we do not understand what is happening most of the time. But God created everything and keeps everything going. And ultimately everything will be okay, because the God who created the world and sustains it is the same God who spoke to Job. That God is providentially shepherding all history. That God loves us. He sent his Son to redeem this world. And nothing bad that happens in this world can un-resurrect our Lord. Because of that truth, we remain safe and secure in the love of our Father, come what may. _______ We read Job 38 today in Bible in One Year. Join us at 1517.org/oneyear

Does being snowbound make you a better writer or a distracted one? #amwriting #author #lotstodo

And when $ is a factor. This makes WHAT gets added all the more significant. Take time to properly assess and go with the "greater than."

As an indie author doing EVERYTHING, it's easy to spread thin. It's of utmost importance to do a few things well rather than a lot of shoddy work that ends up half-baked, time-sucking, and unprofitable. A bigger issue: adding more that will maximize the business when time is $.

Full day of writing ahead. Here goes!

Writing sprint 1, down, writing sprint 2 up!

Full day ahead in the writing chair since medical stuff, family visiting, and the holidays! Feels so good to get back to work. #amwriting #ondeadline #regencyromance

Things don’t turn out the way we imagined they would. Dream jobs can be a nightmare at times. Even Love Boat marriages can go the way of the Titanic. No one in Hollywood or Nashville knows our name. We never bask in our fifteen minutes of fame. Instead, we settle into a decidedly predictable life that is sometimes happy, often hard, and occasionally quite brutal. In other words, our lives are exactly the kind of lives that God gets excited about. The more unimpressive our jobs are, the more lackluster our bio, the more we feel like we’re just a name on a list or a face in the crowd, the more we are the perfect venues for God’s ongoing work in this world. If God is anything, he is a God who has a thing for the normal. The Scriptures are packed with illustrations of this tendency. To begin with, God goes out of his way to handpick the wrong people for his most important missions. The Bible is like the HR Handbook from Hell. Here’s everything you should not do when looking for the perfect candidate for a position. Need a woman to become the mother of a promised son? Instead of choosing a robust twenty-five-year-old, the Lord taps a post-menopausal, wrinkled, ninety-year-old named Sarah for the job. Need someone to lead the emancipation of slaves from the most powerful nation on earth, as well as to serve as the spokesperson for these oppressed people? Rather than choosing the ancient equivalent of a Navy SEAL or a quick-tongued Secretary of State, God handpicks a stuttering eighty-year-old shepherd named Moses who’s been on the lam for forty years after beating a man to death. Book after book, from Genesis to Revelation, the Lord sends men and women on errands they are ill-qualified to fulfill. And nothing has changed in today’s world. He continues to buck our manmade religious systems by inserting men and women into them who don’t meet our qualifications. But they meet God’s. He’s delighted to use them in his kingdom to show all of us that it’s not by brainpower or brawn but by the Spirit of love that the Father gets things done. -Excerpted from Your God Is Too Glorious (2nd Edition), available at a.co/d/hJlw3Mh

Man, the mental shift from typing to dictation is a hard one. My fingers want to do ALL the talking! LOL! #authorlife #amwriting Anyone got any tips for starting out? I'll take 'em.

Enjoying a lull in author work after back-to-back releases. Fireside planning, cups of coffee and tea, fun things ahead. :) #authorlife
