Remember when Oprah ran the Marine Corps marathon a few years back? Afterward, she told an interviewer that everyone, no matter how athletic or practiced, hits a wall before breaking the tape. “It does not matter what your religion is or who you worship — you will see Jesus at mile 22.”
I swear, I saw Jesus as I stumbled through drafted Chapter Three. But I kept trudging along until (thank God!) I broke through that barrier. I’m revising my sample pages today, and I can actually see the finish line for the entire proposal.
Plans for the week:
Revise and send sample chapters to my critique partners
Write book overview and chapter outline
Keep the kitchen remodel moving forward (running water would be a miracle)
Playtime with my “baby” sister, who’s coming for a visit!
Woohoo on your progress! Most excellent.
Excellent, indeed! Thank you, Dot!
YAY finish line!!!!!! HUGS!!!!
YAY for crossing the tape!
HUGS to you, too! I loved your birthday entry. What fun, to go mansion-hopping. Have you ever been to the mansions in Newport, Rhode Island. Now those…they’re over the top!
I wish I could! I love touring old mansions! 😀
Oh, me too! That was one of the highlights of my research for THAT’S HAUTE!
Wait, I thought you had running water. Argh. Congrats on all your progress, you’ll be shipping your baby off in no time! Have a great time with your sister!!
Yay! At about 5:00 this evening, we finally got water (see new port).
Thanks — I’m looking forward to the day I can send my baby out into the world.
I saw him too. He was walking along a freeway at night near an old cemetery.
;o)
I remember reading your spooky post about that! I wonder if he was visiting someone in that cemetery. 🙂
Oh, M, I’m so glad for you!
I gave one to Dot and I’m giving one to you.
Enjoy your dancing cow. 🙂
I love my dancing cow! Thank you…I’m dancing with her!
I am waving my pom-poms for you and Jesus.
Go, team, go!
You make a really cute cheerleader.
I will be at Marine Corps and am going to hang out at mile 22 because I have always wanted to meet Jesus.
Yay on finally seeing the finish line! That is a great accomplishment.
Ah, cool. Let me know what it’s like.
Thanks, Cyn, for your words of encouragement!
WooHoo! No matter how difficult the trek getting there, where EVAR we see Jesus is a good place to be!!
And, yes…it is a RACE – Keep up the good work and you’ll cross the finish line on your feet!!
Hugs!
“They shall run and not be weary…” 🙂
Thank you so much.
Melodye is on a roll! Congrats on making it through Chapter Three and seeing through to the other side!
I’m rockin’ and rolling along.
Thanks so much, Tracy. You’re making tremendous progress, too, I see. Congrats on that word count!
Oh yeah… next time you see Jesus, can you ask him what is up with his followers? 🙂
I’ll definitely do that, if’n I see Him again. 🙂
Why, I thanks ya kindly. 🙂
Congrats on the vision! What an awesome feeling.
And enjoy the time with your sister!
Thanks so much. You’re right — it feels great to get past that barrier.
I adore your icon!
Me = So Happy for Melodye!
Me = grateful for small miracles.
Do you have time to take a peek at my three chapters all together? It’s about 32 pages in all. I’m trying to get them ready asap. But if you don’t have time, just tell me. I certainly understand that you have a lot on your plate.
I won’t be at PFL this week, but I’ll be there next week, for sure.
YAY!! For all your progress with Chapter Three!
Enjoy the visit with your sister!
