I am no stranger to agonizing over decisions both large and small. And the book, The Next Right Thing, by Emily P. Freeman has helped … it has really helped me rest.

A wise person said that we aren’t made to create our own meaning. Rather, we are intended to live in God’s meaning. I can rest with this saying. Thank you, Lord, for all I have and can be and do. Thank you for giving my life meaning because you love me unconditionally.

When I did a word count on my new novel, SILENCE TO SINGING, I found that I’ve written about 6,200 words out of a proposed 80,000. I decided that’s good, considering that I’ve had a very interrupted summer and fall. The book is roughed out already; I’m doing my first manuscript and TRYING to get through without editing and second-guessing myself.
My BiHaG is to finish 3 books by the winter of 2025.

My October BiG (Big Goal) is to complete 16,000 words on my books in addition to my other activities:
Silence to Singing—10,000 words (Book 4 and final of the Christian sci-fi Soul’s Warfare series).
The Judge’s Dilemma—4,000 words (A legal thriller with coauthor Xavier DeSoto)
Both-And America—2,000 words (A nonfiction book in the proposal stage.)
I’ll let you know how it goes!
Meanwhile … Rate & Review Book 1, The Hot Marble, in the Christian sci-fi Soul’s Warfare series!
