I never wanted to be a writer, never planned on loving it. I was just an avid reader. My mother could never keep enough new books in front of me, but I didn't mind re-reading my favorites. If there were words in front of me, I was happy. But I never could find that one book. You know, the one that was just so? That was when I decided to write it. A scene for that book came to me when I was 11, and still very much NOT a writer. But I never forgot it, and the story grew for years in my head. Once I started putting words on the page, I couldn't stop.
I published those books, but they got lost in the millions of options, and I almost gave up. I took a few years off from writing, and honestly, I didn't plan on picking it back up. But it kept coming back to me. So, I picked up my pen and started a new adventure. Many, many years have passed, and with every book, I love writing more. God knew what He made me for, it just took me a long time to find it!
Now, as a best selling, award winning author, I can tell you the long, narrow road is well worth traveling.
Maybe there are things in your life that keeps coming back to you. Something that brings life and light to you and others. Something so big it feels like you could never accomplish it. It is time to take the leap, leaving the familiar behind. Take aim, launch forward, and don't give up!
