Struggles as a newly published author.

The whole experience of self-publishing has been a challenging event. I can’t say it’s all been worthwhile, but I can say it’s been an eye opener. I’ve spent hours asking a major question of my journey – was it meant to be.  Did God have plans for my fictional story about an old woman who found redemption? I’ve asked that question many times. It took me 24 years to complete the story about Tess. The beginning and the end – a lot of living took place during that time with Tess and for me.

I’m struggling to find meaning in my life as an older Christian.  When I mention this to others, both young and old, they tell me to go volunteer. I’ve done that all of my adult life . I want something that gives me passion and excitement- to- want to get out of bed in the morning. I want to make a difference somewhere! That’s what I want!
