It is such a blessing to return - one article done for a magazine and now my blog post. I really wish I could make a living doing this and quit my day job. That would be abit of heaven.

It still intimidates me, after all this time. <br />I do enjoy thinking about the past too, and looking to the present to find the movement of God in my life. That's something I hope I always run to!<br /><br />Enjoy making new memories (and dents) in your new doors!<br />Blessings,<br />CeilCeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30652620.post-81733597641753491982015-07-30T16:58:24.150-07:002015-07-30T16:58:24.150-07:00Having to abandon a manuscript for the second time...Having to abandon a manuscript for the second time left me reeling. I wondered if I'd "lost" my writing ability. But then I realized that I simply wasn't meant to write that story right now, if ever.

It looks like it's been through a few wars. I will never refinish it because, you see, she died from a complication of childbirth a few days after my dad was born. I always felt strange when my mother told that story. I had a stepgrandmother who was good to me but I always felt empty because of a loss that happened to my family a long time before I was born. Also, in my living room is a small antique library table that belonged to my great-grandmother. I know it has been refinished.It was a fixture in our house where we lived until I was in high school. I love these connections to the past. quietspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086016141181470311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30652620.post-13977045187167262912015-07-28T16:41:41.567-07:002015-07-28T16:41:41.567-07:00So often I hear the words that what does not kill ...So often I hear the words that what does not kill you, makes you stronger.

So much story potential. :) <br /><br />In reference to your question on my blog, I think Alex would be okay with you sharing it as long as you give him credit. I know several people have shared it on social media already. Appreciate you coming by!

Even the mega-hit debut books are most likely written by writers that are bearing those same scars. Some from others that are learning experiences.
