Just finished Day 9 of a 30-day book writing plan. Not NANO, but my own plan to stay on task.

Katherine Harms commented on the blog post 'Social media challenge...13 days of marketing for authors'
How are we going to do this? I don't see any way to register. I got this notice from She Writes today, 2/7, and I thought there should be days of prompts to catch up on. I see nothing. ????????
Katherine Harms commented on the blog post 'What Electrifies You? Tell us and win!'
Truth. There is so little truth in normal conversation. People either want to be sure they don't hurt anyone's feelings, or they want to be cute instead of insightful. I'm sorry. Sometimes the only thing that makes my heart pump and…

Katherine,
I absolutely love this post. The imagery and the way your write is very vivid.For instance, when your wrote the following:
"She was not fine. I have seen people standing over the rubble of a house destroyed by a tornado who looked…
I am trying to manage time more effectively, because I am trying to write and teach side by side.

Yes, Yes, Yes - you have captured the essence of why we all write (well, me anyway) because it is bigger than just us and we feel the need to share the message somehow. My blogs aren't really there yet, but I know its coming and I have so…
A Boot In An Appropriate Place
I spent the winter avoiding the project I knew I needed to write. I can tap dance around that truth as much as I want, but you won't be fooled. When all is said and done, I just avoided actually writing the project that is in my heart. I excused myself graciously by pointing out that I had been dreadfully sick, and I needed time to recover. How much time? Who knows? I am almost never sick, so I have little experience by which to make any judgment about recovery time. Furthermore, the whole idea…See More

In January when you sent me a friend request, I was not in the country. I have returned, and I am so happy to be your friend. Please share what you are writing, and I will do the same. I always grow and learn from my writing friends.
Katherine Harms commented on the blog post 'INSPIRATION HQ: What inspires you to…live an authentic life?'
I was cruising along toward my various goals when I got sick. I don't get sick, but I did get sick. For more than a week, the finest doctors in the world could not figure out what to do about it. They fussed because I had no medical history to…
Integrity in our Words
I am not a big fan of Halloween. It appears to me that this day gives people a chance to display ugliness that most of us would rather not look at. I have never liked anything that smacked of “horror,” and I don’t find horror amusing. I made peace long ago with the “trick or treat” concept, because I enjoy the little ones in costume. Playing dressup is fine. Being as ugly and revolting as possible is not on my bucket list anywhere.However, as I was thinking about a personal challenge lately,…See More

You said this piece might be "the most beautiful, important thing" you have written. That means that no matter what happens with it next, it will never be a disappointment. Sometimes I think that I learn and discover more as I write than…
Katherine Harms replied to the discussion 'Monday 8/30 Check-In' in the group Passion Project
I have actually been energized by the outcome. I kept working on the project as the waiting days passed, but when the announcement came, I had to get real about my work. I located three books for research, and I have been so focused on this task…

I like the idea of a Skype call, but not on a weekend, especially not on a holiday weekend.
Katherine Harms replied to the discussion 'Next Steps' in the group Passion Project
We have all done something the vast majority of the population has never done--we have actually started work on the book of our dreams. I have read all the comments here and in the discussion of the types of books we submitted. I think everyone here…
Katherine Harms replied to the discussion 'Next Steps' in the group Passion Project
I'm going to keep doing what I have been doing faithfully since my submission. I will keep working on my book. I am thrilled that we get to look over the winner's shoulder to snag some inspiration and ideas. Maybe we can share some great…

Recently I was thrown into a challenge I really feared, but when it was over, I realized that it was God’s blessing to help me grow up. The challenge was to accept huge risk and trust that God would enable me to overcome it. Even more, the challenge was to accept the risk and trust that whatever the outcome, it would be God’s blessing and gift.

Jocelyn Chia said… - Thanks for the comment, Katherine. Just saw your post above (Are you a Christian Wimp?) You know what, many times I am. I struggle with trusting Him completely even though He's always been faithful and good to my family and I. A large part of it has to do with not understanding why the goodness I have experienced doesn't seem to extend to people I strongly believe He'd be the same to since He's love. That probably sounds a little confusing. I'd go on forever though if I expanded on it so I better go now before I hog your page.
