Maybe that's the reason I try to learn as much about the writing craft as I can this last year. To tell the truth as beautifully as I can, and to be brave and write (yes, for me is writing, showing up and tell, an act of being brave at this moment).<br /><br />Marjanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-91836029940062517532017-11-23T10:58:00.156-06:002017-11-23T10:58:00.156-06:00Can I just say, I’m so jealous you got to meet And...Can I just say, I’m so jealous you got to meet Andrew Peterson.

Having an enthusiastic and supportive friend along would help me too. Ben is often that for me on a day-to-day basis. I'll be stressed about something book related, and he'll remind me, "Hey, this is exciting." Like you mentioned in another point, I'm often so focused on reaching that next step of the ladder, I forget to look around/enjoy when I'm standing on my current step.Stephanie Morrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128389560727867719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-35627910254306960242017-11-22T20:30:03.890-06:002017-11-22T20:30:03.890-06:00So much fun.

Readers don't think about these things, but I'm sure as a writer that you can imagine how you'd feel to be on a plane and have the person sitting beside you tell you they read your book and liked it. You'd be like: !!! Very fun. Yay! This story makes me happy. Thanks so much for sharing it. :-)<br /><br />Jill Williamsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11943570354349667196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-68885618543567785122017-11-22T14:09:53.138-06:002017-11-22T14:09:53.138-06:00I love this! I especially connected with #2. I was...I love this! I especially connected with #2. I was actually on a plane ride home (and home for me is Nashville) and happened to sit down next to Sara Ella, who was on her way to this very event. I spent the first two hours of the flight mentally screaming and freaking out and trying to work up the nerve to introduce myself. I finally decided the regret I knew I would feel later if I stayed silent would be far greater than the fear of saying hi, so I woman-ed up and did it, and I'm so glad I did! She was wonderful and kind and I have been so blessed by her. I'm so glad you went to the gala and had these experiences! <3 Hannah Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730224134513484877noreply@blogger.com
