How’s The Writing?
Author & Reader Blog Connect
Hi everyone, I wanted to start this new blog to start a chat with you!
Are you an aspiring author?
current author?
Know an author?
If so, for this (1st Blog!) I have some questions I’d like for you to answer
If you are an aspiring author, have you started, in progress, or have procrastination? While answering the following explain the process and book(s) you’d like to write and why. If you are procrastination (why?) don’t feel bad this is just to hopefully help your wheels to get turning and provide encouragement.
Know that it is never too late to follow you (God-given) /must say this ….purpose! Don’t let anyone even your thoughts or age stop what God wants to do in you. Now…you may be saying oh..boy here she goes talking about God lol….Well why not! He’s giving you the breath, idea(s), and book(s)….why can’t He help unfold your testimony?!
I know you probably have a lot of people in your ear (even your thoughts) telling you it is impossible or can’t be done….but I can attest it can! Who knows just by you taking the time to respond to me, the wheels may start to turn and that book you have put off may start to blossom…
Let’s build something together.

What Inspiration Will You Find In This Season?
Good Morning….. so i wanted to take the time to inquire what will this season inspire for you? I’m already inspire from the new breath i was granted by God. Now, the realization is to focus this new opportunity into progression for His will.
In this season i will choose to express my thankfulness more, and not just because it’s Thanksgiving……My question is why is Thanksgiving and Christmas the only times of year i feel people are more friendly and kind?…..Maybe it’s just me but, I feel true friendliness and kindness is 365 and by a daily choice to activate. I’m not expressing that we should always focus on the hardships, because they are apart of life. Yet, it seems these Holidays (to me) are the only highlights of extra kindness i see in people….
In expressing this, i’d like to encourage fellow authors to expound on new moments that are joyful, inspiring, and meaningful going beyond the new year. Let us find (with intent) each moment that stops us into a consideration of purpose. For example, all year we could expound on our hardships and setbacks, yet it takes more effort to intentionally find the inspiration. For me, i’m slowly learning what that inspiration is. Cooking is relaxing (when i do it) lol, singing and writing are forms of healing, and encouraging and helping others brings greater strides towards a God-given purpose.
Yesterday it was expressed to me that no publisher wants to touch a self-published author! From a Business perspective i could let that statement defeat me. Yet, i’m inspired from the reminder that (NOTHING) is impossible for God. I’m saying this with gratitude that as writers we will always be subject to criticisms and comparisons, yet i can attest to the favor, miracles, and breakthroughs beyond statistics, opinions, and perceived setbacks.
With that being said let us (myself included) dust off the procrastination and get back started on the projects, books, businesses, and inspiration God is gifting us to share with the world. If you also have been recently told what is impossible (like i recently was), just know that everything works together for a divine purpose.
What Inspiration will you find this Season?….
The leaves changing beautiful colors?
The excitement of delicious food?
The gratefulness of breakthrough in the lives of others?
The miracles that are preparing for birth (physical/spiritual) going into a new year?
The open opportunities to forgive, make amends, and say I love you?
The encouragement for a family or individual?
The inspiration to finish the next part of this …..
