Nothing scared me more than these questions from publishers (which I ran into frequently in my searches):
- What qualifies you to write this book?
- Why did you write it?
What qualifies me to write this book? Um...I love Jesus?
Okay...so it was about there that I started to convince myself that God wanted me to self-publish and that He only wanted me to publish enough books for my family and friends.
Big mistake. Never assume God has small plans for you, or that He wants you to take the easy way out of a situation. God wants the BEST for you and usually His best requires you to step out of your comfort zone.
I was about to learn that lesson the hard way.
Until next time!

Laura, your story, although unique to your experience, mirrors much of what I and many of our writing colleagues have found on the writing / publishing journey.
You have really taken hold of this 'thing,' and have many helpful insights to share.
I look forward to reading your next chapter.

Thank you Peter! It has certainly been quite the journey.
