It's this time of year when folks take vacations or get caught in back-to-school shopping that a blogger never knows who will come visit, yet your segment did very well, catching many an eye. I hope this translates into a growing fan base for you.<br /><br />Thanks too for your sweet Giveaway. The winners are…<br /><br />Autumn and Raquel. Congratulations you two. I've contacted you and am wiring to hear from you. Happy reading!<br /><br />Blessings to all.Elaine Stockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349776598113016833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009438219696051817.post-9820236744095899562014-08-28T16:02:01.726-07:002014-08-28T16:02:01.726-07:00What a sweet thing to say Elaine.

Some make it sound like it's so easy to do, but it's really not. At least when you do it well. You have to get over the fears: Will I write something that someone actually wants to read...will I be successful...will people get what I'm trying to impart? Opening yourself up to reviews, and positive and negative comments is a trial by fire, but for writers at heart, I'm sure we all believe that it's worth it!Lisa Watsonhttp://www.lisawatson.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009438219696051817.post-27921670788583103332014-08-23T19:58:58.593-07:002014-08-23T19:58:58.593-07:00Thank you!

They can offer some very sage advice. It's invaluable when my writing buddies can tell me when something is sounding cliché, or that I'm rushing a scene, or being way too wordy...like now.

I'm seeing more Love Inspired titles released with stories taking place outside of the US--they must be expanding, in more than one way.<br /><br />It took me a while to stop talking non-stop to God without listening to Him half as much. I'd tried writing for the ABA market while dreaming of becoming a household name only to finally get His message that I am to glorify Him in all that I do, and that includes my writing. I'm seeing positive changes now.Elaine Stockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349776598113016833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009438219696051817.post-43921640954119884212014-08-23T04:32:08.914-07:002014-08-23T04:32:08.914-07:00Ann, I'm believing all my guests adore you.

He wants us to obey joyfully and willingly and wholeheartedly, so He never bullies or coerces.<br /><br />The result a year later is that I have a full manuscript under consideration at Harlequin Love Inspired, and I'm publishing the first in my London set contemporary Christian romance series in two weeks!<br /><br />I'm so grateful that God guided me away from the wrong path I was on, and toward where He wants me to be!Autumn Macarthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15376992769171145754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009438219696051817.post-22997430311981007512014-08-22T15:46:48.092-07:002014-08-22T15:46:48.092-07:00Another fun interview and book give-away.
