As writers, we're always talking about the messy middle. Lately, I've found myself living in one.
Unexpected health concerns have reminded me praise isn't just for after the storm passes—it's for the middle of the story, too. Read more: chrismadayschmidt.com/index.… #WritingCommunity

Some rewards take longer than expected.
Today's blog post is about staying the course when results aren't immediate—and the reminder that persistence often pays off in its own time.

This article speaks to my heart. My debut released at 58. At 61, my third novel arrives June 30. I’m still learning that God’s timing isn’t late—it’s His. He put me on this path, and He’s the One who sets the pace. ❤️📚 #amwriting #WritingCommunity #WritersDigest

Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it.
Show up.
That's all He's asking.
