Good encou...Amy,<br />I linked here from Eileen's site.<br /><br />Good encouragement here about no piece of writing that comes from the heart being worthless. An editor who rejected one of my books wrote a lengthy letter back explaining some reasons why he rejected it. He was brutally honest and almost (not quite, but almost) apologized for that. But, one thing he said was, "Don't let anyone discourage you. And know that if you write a piece that only appears in a (church) bulletin, but God uses it to bless, or if your books all appear on the best seller's list, either way, you are a successful writer."<br /><br />That great advice and encouragement came from Denny Boultinghouse of Howard Books.<br /><br />He said some of the same things you did, so it sparked my interest and appreciation. Thanks.<br />wbWarren Baldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17956713921509659993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884411045598601037.post-27198195467561690912009-05-14T07:32:00.000-05:002009-05-14T07:32:00.000-05:00Sherrinda,

(From reading through your posts, I'm guessing that's your genre?) And I appreciate your thoughts in your post. It is SO easy to feel worthless after a while!

My husband sang "Dulcinea" to me at our wedding; my mom had a cow, but i said no one in Fresno, CA will have seen it and know the context, the words are beautiful. <br />You are so right; nothing God gives us is worthless, even if just for Him. <br />Thanks for this post.
