In some ways my journey was relatively short (I've been writing novels full time for only four years) but in other ways, it's been a long and very winding road. I began writing for publication in the mid 1980s, and later directed a Christian arts group for ten years. My novel THE RESTORER actually began from the seed of a script I'd never finished developing for that company.<BR/><BR/>I wrote THE SECRET LIFE OF BECKY MILLER in about five months...but it took over forty years to write (if you include the observation, analyzing, life experience, and writing practice that all had to come first) :-)<BR/><BR/>Hugs, SharonSharon Hinckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01258643938461705900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14283782.post-1158608792085696762006-09-18T12:46:00.000-07:002006-09-18T12:46:00.000-07:00I'd love to hear more about your writing journey s...I'd love to hear more about your writing journey sometime. It appears it didn't take you long at all to realize your dreams. . .while for others it takes many years, which can be frustrating.<BR/><BR/>Beth.Beth Goddardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07520683969654515049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14283782.post-1158599108274466542006-09-18T10:05:00.000-07:002006-09-18T10:05:00.000-07:00I wouldn't be a novelist today if it weren't for C...I wouldn't be a novelist today if it weren't for Cheryl and the rest of Word Servants (they get a big thank you in my acknowledgements for THE SECRET LIFE OF BECKY MILLER). I tiptoed gingerly into the writing world after being very burnt-out from some other art/ministry work. I wasn't at all sure I wanted to pour my heart into new work. Cheryl lit up when I read my first chapter of RESTORER and kept me going during the many months of writing, revising, and submitting it. She prayed with me when I was close to giving up. Bill and Cheryl are heroes. :-)Sharon Hinckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01258643938461705900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14283782.post-1158538740410088642006-09-17T17:19:00.000-07:002006-09-17T17:19:00.000-07:00Wow Sharon!I didn't realize your knew Edenstar's c...Wow Sharon!<BR/><BR/>I didn't realize your knew Edenstar's creators.
