  I attended my first American Christian Fiction Writers National Conference last weekend.

  It was an incredible time and we are all at different phases and pages of this writing journey. I wanted to go to the classes and learn more, but was driven to find an agent and maybe a publisher. Good stuff happened. I'm waiting to see how it all works out. Either way, it was an exhilarating time, met new friends, accomplished some goals. I'm excited about what God has for both of us. I've been at this a long time and I'm ready to see some fruit of all of my work. But there's a time and a season for everything. A time to plant, a time to bear fruit. All in God's perfect timing. Praying His perfect will in your life and especially in your writing career!
  Thanks Holly! I'm excited for you and "good stuff" and the goals you saw accomplished. And P.S., I just sent you an email!
  Wish we could have hung out and got lost together (I would, believe you me! No map savvy here)! Love your perspective–I am sure there is SO much to process! Lay that kindling and it will burst into flame at some point, for sure!
  I guarantee it would have been 1000% less terrifying if I had been lost with you, Heather! 🙂
  I'm sorry I missed seeing you there! I was, honestly, pretty low this year and spent more time than usual cocooning.
  Cocooning, that's a good word for it. I knew to give myself regular doses of time alone to try to keep that paralyzed-and-overwhelmedness to a minimum. And yes, I've worked my way around to suspecting the real significance is in the smaller pieces.
