It does save a lot of time being able to type it directly onto a computer. However, there's a part of me that misses the longhand - there's something more personal about it. Praise God for the help of your friend! I look forward to seeing more of your books out there.

We need God in the equation. Yes I understand the journey you've been on. I began longhand as I couldn't even type. Now I write my books pecking with two fingers. After praying about it, the Lord brought a friend to me who formats my books and set my Indie Press up. BTW, it's wonderful to see that pic of all your published books.

May God bring many people into your life to bless and encourage you the way you bless and encourage others! You are one of the people God brought into my life at just the right time to encourage me - I'll never forget the day I first met you at the writers' conference in Brisbane. I went home uplifted because a 'total stranger' (you) had taken the time to understand my heart, to care, to pray with me.

That doll's house is awesome. Your daughter will have hours of pleasure with it. I know, because for my 5th birthday, my parents made a dolls house for me. And how I enjoyed it. I'd decided to spend this week in 'retreat' (kind of) to seek God's heart in my writing. And then, God brought another writer from far across the seas to 'join' me. We are geographically far apart but can connect nonetheless - together! No, we don't need to do it alone do we? Thanks for the beautiful reminder. Congratulations on your books. How wonderful to see the whole series! Well done Jenny.Anusha Atukoralahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859837228901127984noreply@blogger.com
