So many books, so little time

When I turned fifty, I realized–with a start–that I would not live forever. That I probably had more time “behind” me than in front of me. I began to look at the books I write in a new way–considering that I have a limited amount of time in which to write, the books I choose to write should matter. REALLY matter. Of course, the Spirit can and does use anything, but I asked Him to guide me so that I spent my remaining time wisely.

Then I realized something else–I have the spiritual gift of teaching, which I only use a couple of times a year, mostly when I’m invited to teach at a writers’ conference. So why not use some of my writing time to write down everything I’ve learned in more than forty-one years of writing work?

So I began to write these brief little writing lessons. I publish them myself and write them when I can fit in the time between projects.

Now it’s years later and my desire to train up the next generation has only gotten stronger. So I’ve just started a newsletter, Write Well, for people who are seriously interested in writing. There are two editions–paid and free. The free one comes out once a month; the paid newsletter once a week. Why am I charging at all? Because 1) my husband is retired and I’m supporting the family 2) because people take things more seriously if they pay for it and 3) because the newsletter takes time away from my book projects.

Of course I still have a FREE, always free, newsletter for readers. If you haven’t signed up, you can sign up for the “VIP reader news” on my website. It’s filled with book news, and I always respond to anyone who responds to it. I love and appreciate reading communities!

Receiving an author’s newsletter can be fun, and I encourage you to sign up for any newsletter from the writers on this blog. I know they’ll appreciate it, and you’ll be kept informed about new releases and all sorts of interesting inside information.

And if you know someone who is seriously interested in writing, please point them toward my newsletter. And thank you!
