The long and short of it is most of us have to wait for a lot of things in life. And we get impatient. At least I do.
If you're waiting to be published, you must conclude what kind of wait and what kind of publishing you want. Publishing has a lot more open doors these days with the advent of e-books. Access to getting your work digitized for e-readers takes a lot less time to produce. What's left waiting in either scenario is the ever present millstone of marketing.
What is worth waiting in line to you? What can you endure and what will you allow to stretch your patience? What can you say with a relaxed admission: "As long as it takes"?
Father, you know how impetuous I can be. So you've made me wait to slow down my approach. Thank you for not giving up on me. I know I can be a handful. You've been so gracious to me. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
