NaNoWriMo 2019 Go Us!
I am still plowing my way through NaNoWriMo 2019. I am still engaging in the work. Go me!
Today in the midst of my daily reading about writing and in the midst of rereading my manuscript I am meditating on the importance of my voice in the community…the conversation I bring to the table. I have worked through the manuscript of Pork Chops With the Sentinels Of Azatan one more time. Taking notes as I go and thinking about the connection of scenes within the book and the progression of characters throughout the story, I find myself asking:
“Will this story create conversations of value?”
“Will this book make people think?”
“Will it cause people to disagree?”
“Will it cause anyone to change?”
My sister is in her last performance tonight of the play “Seven”. I saw the piece last night. It was good. I disagreed with many things in the play. It made me angry for the plight of women around the globe. It made me want to have a conversation about….well, …something bigger than me.
That is what I want from my book. I want to engage as well as entertain. I want to start a conversation that will go farther than….well,… me.
We are still plowing our way through NaNoWriMo 2019. By reading this you are still engaging in the work. Go us!

Morning Direction from Scripture 11-7-19
Arrogant foes are attacking me, O God;
ruthless people are trying to kill me—
they have no regard for you.
15 But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,
slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.
16 Turn to me and have mercy on me;
show your strength in behalf of your servant;
save me, because I serve you
just as my mother did.
17 Give me a sign of your goodness,
that my enemies may see it and be put to shame,
for you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me. Psalm 86:14-17
What builds regard for God?

Mid Afternoon Meditation 10-26-19
Among the gods there is none like you, Lord;
no deeds can compare with yours.

you alone are God.

that I may fear your name.

you have delivered me from the depths,
