So I guess I need an agent.
The book I'm writing falls into the category of Christian fiction. I wouldn't say it's something that I actively sought. Instead, I feel like it is something God gave me to do.
I've dilly-dallied around with it for several years now, fluctuating between hard-core commitment and belief that God would equip me to complete the task and long periods of self-doubt and fear. After attending a virtual writing conference, I decided to post the book, chapter by chapter, just to test the waters so to speak, maybe get some feedback from friends who were willing to read it and strangers who stumbled across it. I thought maybe I would feel some peace with it, that simply posting it would be enough.
But I don't feel any peace at all.
Don't get me wrong. It has been incredibly encouraging to have friends tell me that they are enjoying the book, that they look forward to seeing what happens next, but I have the sense of the unfinished, as if I haven't really done what I need to do.
Would you pray for me? I'm not interested in becoming famous or making a lot of money. I just want to do what I feel like I am being called to do and quite frankly, I am in uncharted waters. I covet your prayers for courage and guidance. And an agent. Because apparently I need one.
