Fiction Writer Hint:

Tomorrow's interview said:

"Even Christian writers go through this gauntlet of self-doubt at times. They may question their "call" to write. For me these emotions intensify when there is a low spot in my career. Meaning when I don't have any contracts coming in. And that has happened to me.

Years ago I got published mostly in nonfiction, but once I decided to make the break into inspirational romance, there was a definite break in my flow of contracts. Because nonfiction and fiction are truly different animals and there was so much for me to learn, it was like starting over.

But with much writing and rewriting, (and some generous help from mentors) I was finally able to see what contracts looked like again. During that time, however, self-doubt did try to wiggle itself into my daily writing routine, and every day I had to choose to believe God's "call" and forge ahead."
