It's not a random journey but one full of adventure. And when we write from the heart and commit to craft like we would to a serious relationship, art emerges that others have to hear.Lyn Fairchild Hawkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13308501118724743991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6124799008909325766.post-34201524939514376412012-02-18T06:15:04.333-05:002012-02-18T06:15:04.333-05:00Thank you for this meditation on aging and waiting...Thank you for this meditation on aging and waiting--inevitably the two go hand in hand. I, too, can remember waiting for my book to see the light of day and thinking that while I waiting for the slow wheels of publishing to turn that the book was passing its prime, that the issues and ideas that had been new and innovative when I wrote them were becoming outdated and old hat. Being patient and trusting that God's hand was somehow, someway in the timing, too, was definitely something I had to intentionally practice. Your novel will be "out there" in the just right time--and then it will weave its way through peoples lives in all the idiosyncratic ways that art flows around our collective lives. And you'll still be writing and wondering and waiting again...Marcia Mount Shoophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18092259921991335827noreply@blogger.com
