I've been tagged

CJ Darlington has tagged my for my first ever meme. The rules are simple (luckily!). You post three writing tips that you've learned along the way, and then nominate 5 more bloggers to take up the meme (which, by the way, is pronounced "meem"). Here goes:

1) Publishing is such a business of "right time, right place". I can't control the mood an editor is in when she picks up my manuscript, I can't control which genre is selling well in the market right now, I can't control the constant changes in the industry. But... I can (and do) believe God is sovereign and He can handle it. So, I've learned to do my best and leave the results to Him.

2) As much as it pains a thin-skinned person like me, I had to learn to take critique--hard critique, and apply it to my work. Ouch!

3) Go to writers conferences. Mount Hermon made all the difference in my career.



Let's see, I don't know if I know five other bloggers, so I'll tag my two fave blogging authors:

Julie Carobini and Sharon Hinck.
