Overwhelmingly busy, I grew very discouraged about ever finishing Beth's story. I finally sat down one evening and just wrote. For three hours I wrote. When I saw what I accomplished in that amount of time, I calculated to see how long it would take to reach 75,000 words. In my estimation, I will have the first draft completed by the end of May IF I can get 12-15 hours of writing done each week. Now, if I can just get the time in.
I am in need of prayer partners to pray me through this. I would so appreciate it if you would join my prayer team! Everytime I feel like giving up, someone says something about my writing that really encourages me and helps keep me going. The writing business can be a daunting and lonely task. After all, we write for our readers. And if there are no readers, we're wasting time and energy that could be put to better use. So, if you would like to see "Finding Beth" on your bookshelf, please pray for me as often as you think of me and be sure to drop me an encouraging note now and then.
Currently, I am just under the 20,000 word mark...so 55,000 to go. I'll keep you posted on my progress as I go along. In the meantime, feel free to stop by and let me know you're there and still waiting. :D
Lovingly yours, Linnette

Thanks for you comment, Anonymous! I truly appreciate it. I just wish I knew who you are. :D
Just keep plugging along, getting the words on the computer. The rest will come. We'll wait patiently. Book publishing isn't a fast business from what I understand. Hang in there!
Thanks, Kimberly! I had a really good writing session last night and am ready to hit it again today. :D Thanks for all your loving support!
