the path
Do I choose the less difficult path even when it’s not best?
The easy sentence instead of the perfect one?
“Having my children was the best thing I did for many reasons, including that it taught me to write a single, perfect sentence. Having a big family forced me to make every second of my writing time count. It taught me to write spare and taut, to write each word as if it were special, precious, to write a sentence that nobody else in the world had written.” –Martine Leavitt

Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. –Mary Jean Iron
Me and a mic
I’m being interviewed for a podcast on writing today. I’m pretty scared since I’ll have to be spontaneous and that can lead to disaster. I really prefer time to write words out and think them over. Plus I hate my voice.
I’ll let you know when the episode is available–if it’s not completely embarrassing. **blush**
Winners!
Congratulations to the winners: Rachel K. and Becca O.! Hope you enjoy it!
Holiday giveaway
Just in time for Christmas, I’m giving away two free copies of one of The End Begins books–your choice. I will draw two names, and each one will have the chance to choose which book they would like.
Book One: Sudden Darkness
“This end of the world story will keep you hooked from the first page. I love books where I really connect and understand the characters, and this book doesn’t disappoint. It’s so cool to see prophecies about the end of times come to life, and made into an eerily realistic storyline. LOVED THIS BOOK!”
Book Two: Glimmering Light
“Great read. I fell in love with Amelie and Zack in the first book, and became even more so here. It is engrossing to think about what could happen in a situation like that, and Margot Hovley does a fantastic job letting me experience it. I was constantly in the middle of the action, trying to think if I could do nearly as well, and it makes the characters feel genuine and strong. Delightful mix of suspense and adventure. Really well developed characters.”
Entering is easy. Just leave a comment stating which way you follow me: Facebook, Twitter, Email subscription to this blog, or stalking me in dark alleys. Then tell me one thought you have about the end times. Are you scared? About what? Excited? Hopeful? Any thoughts you’d like to share about the times to come.
And…the winner can choose which format they’d prefer, as well–paper or ebook.
That’s it! The giveaway will end on December 10, giving plenty of time for the book to arrive in time for Christmas.
