I went to this conference last weekend. I loved it! I was inspired to begin writing again. I took two seminars on getting my work published, and another on coping with the rejection and failure. The woman who taught that wrote an excellent book that I am reading now, a fiction taking place during WWI. I so enjoy reading Christian fiction because there isn't gratuitous sex, violence, or swearing. Those things aren't necessary in a good story. I figure if you need all that then you must not have a very good story. Not that mine are great.
I was encouraged in remembering that I was offered a contract three years ago for my memoir. I kind of regret not taking it. But I was focusing on my new career as an ESL teacher, and my dad just had his accident, and to be honest, I was scared. I never imagined that anyone would be interested in my story. So I think I will try again. I need to edit it and look into sending it to publishing companies again. I have some ideas percolating in my mind, it's just a matter of getting it done. It will be a while though, with the other stuff in my life, but at least I have something else to do in my free time. I actually miss writing. I guess maybe I needed a break. So we shall see I also have to find help for my sore arm and hand. But I will write about that in a later blog. My arm and hand are sore.
